I gave in to taking 'gabapentin'. I was started on small doses, had some kind of heavy sleep that I badly needed, because my BURN was the absolute worse when I went to bed at night. Many, many nights I had to get up and walk around for a couple of hours in order to tolerate the agonizing pain. I would finally get 'the freeze factor' starting on my legs, and would go back to bed for a couple hours of rest.

My mother had put the 'fear of GOD' in me when I was a girl, and I have never trusted the fact that so many meds turn out with horrible results. However, when the agony was dominating me, trying to cooperate with my Dr. seemed to be the WISE thing to do. I am getting a little help & hope.

I have been diagnosed with "S F N Poly Neuropathy".

Best wishes for pain relief soon.
