I've had severe pain in my foot since Feb 3. Passed from Dr to Dr. Test after test. Drug after drug. No luck. Lots of frustration and tears. Finally I was started on a seven week progression of Topiramate. 25mg. Each week I take one more pill.

Shockingly to me, the pain is easing. This started at the end of week one. Now in week two, the redness in my toes is going away. I am no longer snapping at my poor husband.

I looked up the drug and found it was for epilepsy. This I don't understand. But I'll take it!

One downside is that I am very sleepy. I hope that as I adjust to this med I will not be as sleepy.

I wanted to post this because I have posted my sadness and pain many times. I wanted to share this little bit of happiness with you.

I hope every one of you find a pill that works for you like this is working for me. (at least it's working right now)
