Default Help!!!!

I have PN, something to do with my Cervical spine being out of whack! I was rear ended a year ago & that's when all my problems began. I first developed Trigeminal neuralgia the over time the peripheral neuropathy started to creep up.
I have been taking Gabapentin (now up to 300mg/3 x day). In the beginning I tried amitryptalin (didn't work for me), I'm also taking Baclofin, as needed.

My biggest issue is being able to go to work. I work permanent nights, as a Nursing Assistant, in a major hospital. I have missed so much work, it's not even funny. Thank god we have a union or I'd likely be fired by now.
I'm either stoned on meds or in pain. My pain is mostly in my arms & hands, but also my legs & feet.

How the hell do you all function?? I need help/suggestions.

Also, does anyone notice if the weather affects your neuralgia??
