Thanks for the heads up. I wish all of us would wake up not just pain free but RSD free. That would be great. But wishing or hoping doesn't change a thing. So I will keep being positive and push thru this condition and fight for all I am.

From my post in the other current Neurontin thread.....

"Since I started Neurontin, I gained weight (I was already a big girl, but got bigger) and developed type 2 diabetes. As I just confessed, I am a big girl, definitely pretty sedentary for years with pain issues, and I do have a family history of type 2 diabetes, but the family members were all in their 70's when they developed diabetes.....I thought I had 30 years before it got" me. No such luck. Neurontin is known to cause increased blood sugars. Since being dx'd, I've done my own little science experiments too when I tried getting off Neurontin to try Lyrica. Bloodsugars were better without either drug, both Neurontin and Lyrica increased my bs's."
