Hi well I am glad CC appt went good. That doctor really spent time with you so that is good. I am on neurontin and increased slowly with my pain doctor. With each increase I did get some side effects but after a few days they lessened. For me I am not sure what med helps and what does not but at one time I felt neurontin helped. We are all different so it is hard to know what works for one may not another. The only drug that was mentioned to me that may increase blood sugar at higher doses was serequel. I hope you have a nice trip in CA.
