HAha, I know, my Dr. is an oddball.
She said that the Gabapentin is mostly used for neuropathic pain, and that there was very little chance that it could do anything to bring sensation back to my feet so she didn't want to get my hopes up.
However, She did say that there was a long shot, and that it could be worth a try.

I oddly haven't had any "dead" feet since going on it. But it makes me want to eat like all the grocery stores in the world will be closed and I need to stock up.
