What did/does it feel like? Does it make some pain completely go away or does it just make it die down? Does it help anybody with anxiety? I am hopefully starting this tomorrow and want to know what to expect.

thanks again...
I finally have a diagnosis of CMT. I take 2700 mg of gabapentin each day and 90 mg of cymbalta. I start physical therapy this week. To soon to tell much of a difference. I had a better day today. This is the end of the road for me. Low impact yoga and stretching has been very helpful. My goal is to be able to drive and work again. Good Luck!!
