been on neurontin for a year now, and take it for nerve pain due to neurological problems... (possible MS) anyhow, could not take the tingling pain anymore after dealing with it for years and years....
I have gained some weight but maybe 5-8 lbs, with the meds...(I gained a bit lately but it is my eating not the meds) I think just keep yourself as active as you said, playing with the kids is the best fun way to keep active... around the RSD... hugss and good luck
from another mom of five kids, ages 16,14,9, 4 and 2. fun fun, work full time too

hugsss,sarah
