Saw my GP today and he said that they don't know the cause of ON, or how to treat it. I asked about nerve ablation and he said it's OK if they can find the nerve, but they tend to do a wider area so you have a numb patch.
He said regular pain meds don't work-as I've found out.
He said that epliepsy meds are good but he can't prescribe them under the health rebate scheme.
He gace me a strip of Gabapentin (Neurontin) to try. Just take as needed.
Had the ON all day and night yesterday, still there today but easing. Feel wornout and irritable.
One good thing-you don't think about getting depressed as you can't even finish a thought before it fizzles out.
Too sore to think!
