Hi, I am posting for the first time. I was recently dx with peripheral neuropathy (small fiber) about a month ago. My neuro said it was caused by my Primary Sjogren's which I have been dx'd with for eleven years. I am taking Methotrexate by injections for the SS, and for the PN I have been taking Gabapentin which seems to be helping, but sometimes I feel rather spacey. I also have Essential Tremor (2 types) for which I am taking Primidone and that seems to also be helping me function better. I am happy to be part of this group.

Hi TexasGranny

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

I am glad that you have found the PN forum; it is very active so I am sure that you will get lots of support and good ideas from other members.

Best wishes.

Thank you.

How long have you been on the Gaba? Is your head issue the only side effect that you are experiencing? I was on it for two months and had many unpleasant side effects with absolutely no benefit for pain reduction. Txs.

Hi pippi longstocking, I have been taking the Gabapentin for about one month. I have a follow-up appt. w/neuro in a couple of weeks and I'm going to tell him about how fatigued I feel and spaced out. I can't say it has not helped somewhat with the pain in my toes, but it has not touched the pains in my calves. No, it hasn't helped me that much.

Welcome to the forum.
