Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 thanks for the neurontin info. at night is the worst time for me, that's when the swelling happens in my legs and the nerves really fire up. it gets more noticeable around 11 or 12 at night, very different than during the day. would you say that the nerves stop firing during the day also from this med? emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on it for 6 months. It just made me sicker. Buy a hot tub (your doctor can prescribe one and you can write it off on your taxes as long as it does not improve the sale of your home. Do it! I bought one at Lowe's for $4,000 and could have bought the same thing from Hot Springs for $10,000) get your doctor to prescribe a spa at the hospital, slow aerobic exercises in the pool, and walk at least 30 minutes a day (having a dog will make you do it! They are a pain in the beginning but so much love if you are home during the day!) I went on Serzone an anti- depressant 100 mg twice daily. This helps immensely. I am not as tired and upset with what is all going on in the world. Another thing helps is some protein supplements. I take Whey Protein twice a day mixed with milk. It really adds energy and you are not as fatigued or fogged. I also take Magnesium Mallate 825 mg., B6 100 Mg., 2 daily atheletic vitamins, as well as 1000 mg. calcium, vitamin C, and E. Please check with your doctor's nurse to make sure all of these things will agree with you with any other medications you are currently on. I wish the best of luck to you and if you ever want to chat give me a holler. I will be publishing a secret remedy from a friend of mine that helped her get over FMS on Friday so keep watching. I want to know this secret so badly as she is perfectly normal again! And she never lost her job over it like I did. I'm on full term disability but do you think anyone wants to hire us on again? Probably not. Will see what she says on Friday! Good luck and keep hanging in there! TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 TJ, I have to wonder what kind of " friend " would withhold info from you if she can hear about your suffering for so long but wouldn't share her big secret until Friday. I sure hope this is true but it's like they say " if it seems to good to be true...it probably is. " I don't mean to be a wet blanket but I would hate to see you roped into some scam and spend money because you believe what she has told you. Are you absolutly positive she even had Fibro? I mean I know she told you she did and told you her symptoms then she is suddenly, miraculously cured....bam! just like that!....now she is going to " share " this info with you. My gut says she is selling something and it is though a multi-level marketing thing. I know from where I speak. I almost lost everything in a multi-level thing a few years back...and the products were actually good but the rest was just a nightmare. Please be careful. She has you hooked and now through you she may be trying to hook us all. Again, I want to say...this may be true but please think hard and be very careful. There are a lot of people out there that actually believe in what they are doing and they prey on chronically sick people because we are so desparate to get well...we will believe and buy anything.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Stephany I have only started taking it in November 2007. I take 100 mg EVERY EIGHT HOURS. I understand from another friend, who is on is for surgery/knee replacement pain, that his doctor emphasized how important the every eight hours is to success with this drug. Not three times a day, as with meals. Every eight hours. So far, I have no noticable side effects, other than the wonderful relief from severe pain. But as always with my PG, it is almost impossible to establish cause and effect definitively. I am also having the first healing over of the three active lesion areas which started up mid summer (following pneumonia and work/moving/gardening frenzy and overexertion). I could pass over the benefits of the Neurontin in favor of the lesion healing theory, except that I forgot a dose on Christmas night in all the excitement. When my pain was all of a sudden returning and visions of the wheelchair started dancing in my head, I remembered that I was three or four hours late with the Neurontin. So that tipped the mental balance in favor of the Neurontin. Who knows? I may be noticing a tiny, tiny bit of dizziness. But compared to the severe dizziness and nausia i had with oxycodone (and no noticable pain relief) I really can't even detect it at all. Is your EN noticable right now, so that you can notice a pain difference? Tinastephanyiniowa wrote: Tina, how much neurontin are you taking? I'm taking it for a chronic cough, and I would like to compare dosages and effects!Stephany in Iowa (EN for 20+ years) Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
