I have been finally diagnose correctly a couple months ago from MS to PN. Yahoo! or not. All the glucose and blood work, skin biopsy come back normal. 2005 a spinal tap came back above normal protein level. Anyway, I to am on gabapentin. Found it had nothing to do with the muscle weakness in my arms and legs. Its frustrating..even folding laundry is a chore. I cannot stand for periods of time in one spot and my balance..well lets say I hope I never get pulled over for a DUI check...I totally fail on balance.
So this wll be a strong issue on next Neuro Dr. appt. The Gab stopped the burning to but everyday pain is an issue. I will take an oxcodine or a vicodin if really hurting and it helps.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and make all of feel better.... Best regards

It's been steadily progressing and in the last month, it's progressed into my hands along with muscle weakness -- most notable in arms and shoulders.
Has anyone found anything that can help deal with the muscle weakness and associated fatigue?
Thanks,
