I don't know if I made it clear here but I have been diagnosed with MALS and have talked to 2 surgeons that think the surgery may not help me. The nueropathy I have is directly related to my stomach though. Sometimes I feel fine until I eat then my nueropathy flares up, feet cramp up twitches all over. Other times I will be in lots of pain and eat and it will all go away. I woke up feeling horrible today, Ate a big (for me) lunch and have been much happier since. Also if I take anything for my stomach (ppi, stomach supplements such as pepzin or any supplement or food that is hard on the stomach) my nerves flare up like crazy. I took cymbalta and i made nerves really bad and made my stomach worse. I think I am going to have the surgery cause its the only way to know if it will help or not.

So my take is I respond to Gaba enhancing drugs or anti convulsants like xanax. What other gaba enhancing drugs are there?
