Be careful in increasaing it to much I went from 900 mg to 2700 mg in a two year period. I just did not want to increase it again. It is a highly addictive drug.

Maybe I am still not taking enough appatently the burning has returned full speed not to mention I have had 2 falls in the past 4 days one that I land form 3 steps up onto my garage floor. My knee looks quiet lovely I miight say.
My Neuro is on vacation cant get a hold of him my normal PCP wont do anything because they dont have enough history on me I had just switched becuase my other doctor is the one who sent me to see my eye doctor the day I woke up with double vision and i was told by him it was just a problem with my eyes ya right... So now I have made a appointment with an actual ms Clinic here in the Seattle area maybe they can get me in the right direction. I swear if something doesnt work soon I will loose my mind all together Nerve pain has to be the worse thing I have ever experienced and I just want to feel better.
