I am on Gabapentin and a whole lot of supplements. My neuropathic pain is definitely worse than when it started almost 2 years ago. But as others might agree, when your condition does not improve, and instead is progressing you either tend to learn to live around it or your level of tolerance for pain has increased. In my case, some days are tolerable (not even good) and some days are worse (not even worse).

After the neuropathy, I developed major lung problem, not to mention the persistent acid reflux, hypothyroidism, and elevation of blood sugar. I still have a long way to go for the treatment of my lungs. Hopefully, the treatment will be successful.

I have been toying with the idea of weaning off from Gabapentin. BUT, my major problem and actually my FEAR is if I very slowly wean from it and just rely on the supplements, my symptoms could be worst. I have been taking it for too long that my system could go into withdrawal. I definitely cannot afford additional physical discomforts at this time. But, on the other hand, I am concerned of taking it for the rest of my life. I don't know which way to go.

Thank you.
