Default Gabapentin and MG

I have been taking Gabapentin since 2007 to help with the pain in my lower back caused by a fall 20+ years ago down a flight of steps which has resulted in two degenerative disk in my lower back. I was diagnosed with MG in 2009 so I had been taking Gabapentin before the MG happened.

I haven't seen any conflict with the two, the Gabapentin still helps with the pain in my lower back but now that I am also taking Prednisone (for about two years) to control my eye muscles due to MG, I do believe that the Gabapendin's affectiveness is being deminished by the effect the Prednisone is having on my bones. Two steps forward, one step back.

Dealing with multiple drugs and the effects they have on each other is very frustrating. But I will keep taking it as long as I feel there is some relief.

Hope my experience helps you. Everyone has different experiences with medicines.
