Jeff, Drugs are useful but too many combos of them can actually cause MORE pain. The more pain meds you use, the higher the dose you need because the body gets used to them.

I think you should go to a pain specialist. Drugs aren't always the answer. Again, there might be other things like deficiencies that are adding to your pain.

Also, Neurontin has been known to make MG worse and, in some instances, CAUSE it. So you need to let your neuro know that too.

Do you have a good internist? If not, get one. They can evaluate this entire situation and look for other causes for you. There's probably more than MG going on here.

Good luck.

Annie
