Positive Story
I feel like we don’t get enough of them so I thought I’d share. I have pudendal neuralgia. It’s AWFUL. My life has been flipped upside down. Anyway, one of the things that has slowly been healing me is Gabapentin. I thank God for Gabapentin. You hear all these scary stories about Gaba but nope luckily for me, I’ve had no problems. I’m on 1800 a day. No drowsiness (except for like the first day I up my dose), no crazy brain fog (I get a little if I don’t eat), no weight gain, no constipation.
It’s helped manage my pain and it helped stop my crazy central sensitization. I was having full body spasms and electric shocks. They were awful.
For those thinking of trying it, ya just gotta experiment. You will hear more bad stories online than good.
