Zinnia,

I am so glad you got that figured out! I am glad you are finding it easier to get around too. Take your time, you are getting better. If the aids make it easier for you to be mobile that improves the overall picture. You can always try again later to decrease use. I had to do that many times over a period of many months before being able to go without.

Your husband's hair comment was hilarious! Gabapentin does cause weight gain but my neuro said dome of it is just water retention. I dropped 5 pounds in a week after going off it, all fluid.

I like the good days and bad days comment too. My husband and two of my doctors use that one as well. It will come that eventually the balance of good days outweigh the bad.

Keep enjoying those sunny days. Getting out is great for the spirit.
