Has anyone tried Gabapentin????????????
My physiotherapist suggested it today because of my neuro stuff, which she says can't be helped by having physio. I've looked it up on line and feel pretty anxious about taking it as it mentions that some can suffer mood changes and suicidal thoughts while taking it!!!!!!!!!! Well I can do without that. I'm angst enough. Has anyone on the TOS forum used it and had a successful outcome? I'm trying hard to remain med free and absolutely hate the idea of going on them, they scare me silly but I could do with some relief. |

I've tried pregabalin, it made me feel spaced out sometimes.
I didnt think it helped me, but my pysio said it had worked really well with others |

I am currently taking it. I have been on it since september and it does help slightly with some of nerve pain. Have not noticed mood changes, and the fact that I take a weekly injection of medicine for ms that causes depression I was reluctant at first. I hate meds, but will try if it helps.

If so, do you think there is any relationship between ms and TOS? Just curious. |

chroma, I have multiple sclerosis for 6 years now. It was found by chance during a time I was having some dizziness and was sent for mri. I had the spinal tap and a multitude of other tests. I recently read where ATOS and ms have a relationship. I need to find article again, but basically the doctor who wrote it was studying the relationship.

That was back in the 90's actually. Has diagnosis and/or treatment of MS improved since then? Because back in the 90's, based on what I read, it wasn't a pretty picture. |

chroma, I will check for it. Yes, they have come a long way with medicine and treatments. Still no cure but the injections I take say it slows the progress by 80%. I have a mri every year and every year my lesions have been inactive since taking the injections.
