I was diagnosed with GBS on 4/27. One of my first symptoms was severe back pain at night, which has continued to persist. It’s like a deep ache, not the pins and needles type nerve pain.

I’ve been dosing up on Gabapentin since probably 4/29. I started at 100 mg 3x a day and now I’m up to 300 mg twice a day and 500 mg at night. So far, I haven’t gotten any pain relief from that.

With that said - how are you all managing the nightly back pain? Also, how long did it take for Gabapentin to start working, if you take that?
