For 5 years I have been using the supplement guidelines posted by Wings 42 on the 2nd page of the Sticky section response #19. (I'll try a link later) in addition to 3600 of Gabapentin (900 every 6 hours). I ski, bike, dirtbike,etc most everyday and function very well as long as I follow the above schedule.
My question for members is there possibly another direction or different approach that may work better for me? I am having success in managing symptoms just wondering if a better approach exists. Thanks in advance for your valuable opinions |

OP: If you have no side effects with this large dose of gabapentin, then stick with it. I know enough who finally got off it due to tremendous side effects. A good friend, but she is not into all the activities you are in, does good with Grape Seed Extract and I've talked about how well Inosine works for me and I too have no desire for all the activities you are into. Personally I'm not a fan of pharma drugs...many do end up with neuropathy due to pharma drugs and many other issues too.

Thanks, I'm reading up on both and will give them a try. Insurance pays for Gabapentin so its basically free, but big pharma appears to want return customers instead of fixing anything. My neuropathy started after radiation for thyroid cancer, but doctors have told me that it's not related. I wonder about the timing though.

OP: Nothing is Free. More and more deaths from drug interactions and procedures every year. Doctors say whatever they want their patients to hear, I don't trust the medical industry. I've been around a long time and have seen and gone thru a lot myself and loved ones and friends.

After I just posted to you I thought of this story from a friend. She's gone thru yrs of radiation for cancers on her legs and ended up with with HORRID yrs of neuropathy and all her doctor would say to her, don't know what the neuropathy is from. She was NOT SMART enough to see thru this MD. She trusted docs, their medicine and believed them....she finally got on grape seed extract and got off the gab...
