Jan, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I will be thinking of you and your family during this difficult time and on Friday. You sound like a strong lady and I'm sure that you will muddle through this, both physically and emotionally.

If you are having difficulties with your meds, you should talk to your doctor. I also tried gabapentin and could not tolerate it. Sometimes it takes numerous trials of different meds before you find one that has the least amount of side effects that you can live with and that are tolerable. There are other meds available, just ask your doctor.
