Sandy I so know what you talk aobut with drs...

I was up most the night with stiffness, and pain....couldnt sleep...took ibuprophen like extra amounts with food....and doesnt touch it...was up till
3am....

so today I decide to call my dr office, my pcp is hard to get into I know, but here I told her I am in pain, stiffness, that started last week with numbness...that I couldnt feel my legs...now stiffness and that my wrists and ankles are in pain...

they put me on with her nurse...the first nurse not her nurse..mentioned meds for pain...that she can give dr note about if they can get me on something...soon....then she sent me to my drs nurse...

so she says my dr is on vacation not back till the 3rd.... that I can see the her pysicians assistant...I said sure I gotta see someone quick...the first apt isnt till next friday....how quick is taht...this area sucks...

and no other drs in practice can see me sooner i guess too...

finally I called back, said hey, I couldnt sleep due to this....the first nurse mentioned how in chart it says neurontin might be next step.....and that she is leaving a note for my dr....but as you said she is out of town for while...do I have to wait a week for, ideas for pain .....

she called me back after talking the assistant....they prescribed me neurontin....I think three doses of 300mg a day....I gotta go pick it up to confirm that....when I asked her if somethign I should work up to...as isnt it like lyrica..you can feel loopy at first on it....she siad she didnt know....check with pharmacy too.....

what a joke finding good care sometimes...here I was talking about pain...that is keeping me awake...and they were gonna just wait till I am in next friday!!!!!

anyhow...this is where I am at....now kindof nervous...to get loopy feeling as I did on lyrica...lyrica didnt help with the tingling pain...ro anything...and I hope to not gain weight with the meds...anyone have experience with neurontin here..hugsssss

sorry for rambling or if this didnt make much sense..haha..sarah
