It's very good to meet you! Unfortunately, there's not much I can do to help you either, though I wish there was. I suffer from some neuralgia, but it's in my leg and side, so it's a whole different game. I can tell you that I took Neurontin for quite a while, and I've talked with others who took it, too. It can cause weight gain in quite a few of those who take it. Hopefully that won't include you, though. I hope they get you all straight, Shelby. Good luck and best wishes!
