Playing detective...need help!!
Hi there, I'm a 45 yr old female. I was rear ended in Feb. of this year & almost a month to the day, developed Trigeminal Neuralgia. Then in early Sept. started having shooting burning pains in my arms, hands, legs & feet. These pains have gotten progressively worse since then, mostly my arms & hands. My B12 levels have checked out fine.
The pains get much worse at night & I'm having great difficulty sleeping. The pain specialist wants me to start Baclofen, along with the Gabapentin that I'm taking. He's got me taking 100mg, 4 times a day, of Gabapentin. I have a hard time taking it & going to work, so I don't know how I'm gonna handle the Baclofen.
I'm waiting to have an MRI & the pain specialist said he wouldn't rule out MS just yet.
Does anyone else have pains that get much worse when lying down to sleep? I feel like the pain is constant, burning & achy. I don't seem to have any vision problems, is this not a major sign of MS??
I guess I'm just looking for other MS stories & experiences, as I realize it affects everyone differently.
