Sorry to hear of your troubles; I hope you get relief soon. Ask your doctors if other neuropathy meds might be appropriate. I believe Lyrica has been helpful for some Small Fiber Neuropathy sufferers, and it seems that other drugs (like amitriptyline, duloxetine, and others) would be worth investigating. As for pancreatic cancer, I think all that's been observed has been in male rats.

They told me there is not much more I can do for this condition other than continuing with Gabapentin and the Vitamins I am taking, this is more than a little depressing, but I am not one to give up, so I'm coming back here for any further advice. I also have another question about Gabapentin, I read somewhere recently that Gabapentin could cause Pancreatic cancer has anyone here ever heard of that as a possible side affect? Thanks for any advice at all. Blessings and have a great New Year, Jan
