I know many people here try to get off all meds but not everyone can obtain that. Go my what your body is telling you. It sounds like your saying the Gaba is working for you. I don't know if anyone ever gets full pain control. I just told my rheumo the other day that I now live with a daily pain level of about a 5. It sure beats the level 10 days all the time. I still get those days but at least now it isn't everyday.
Not sure if it's fortunate or unfortunate but I think over the years I have learned to live with the pain. In the beginning I was so stressed over it and know I accept this is part of my life and probably always will be.
