Re: After a nap... I called the office again

[Guest guest]

Hi Kami, I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time. Neurotin is often used

for neuropathic (nerve) pain. Maybe this is why it was prescribed? It can make

you sleepy and sometimes they use it at bedtime for sleep and pain. I hope they

get back to you with answers, best, Kate F

[ ] After a nap... I called the office again

Gosh... I hope you all aren't getting sick of me updating!

I have called for clarification of why Neurontin was prescribed. I am hoping

whoever calls me back can tell me why this was prescribed as opposed to

something else. I mean... I am not looking for a narcotic. I have those and

specifically said in my first message that I feel I have been using them too

much.

I have a really bad attitude today. REALLY REALLY bad attitude. I feel so

misunderstood right now.

Kami,

Neuronton works to relieve pain symptoms. THey usually start as a low dose

then increase over time. I am up to 2700mg a day, I take 900mg TID.

HI Kami-

I dont post often but felt I had to respond.

A bad attitude comes along with the disease. I have days where I have a pity

party and then days where I am positive about my future.

You sound like you have a good sense of humor and that will help you out a

lot.

I have had RA for 3 years now- and have gone through all the valleys and

mountains. i have been on Embrel, Remidcade, Plaquenil, etc. I am currently

on Rituxan, MTX, Trazadone, Oxycontin etc. But the alternative is not so

good. Every day that I wake up - I feel like there is still hope. Hang in

there- vent all you want and the people here will help you deal with it.
