Well I wish I had had greater sucess from the neurontin.
I had to stop it because of terrible headaches, blurred visiom, weight gain that made me take my wedding rings off and more off balance then even usual it also seemed to keep me fruther awake if thats possible and so tired. I did get some relief from the tingling, burning and pain but what was the trade off any better then the regular pain? I didn't think so.
I also seemed more depressed then I am.
He wanted me to try lyrica but from reading comments all over the internet and seeing a neighbour on it fall asleep at the wheel of his car and seemed like he was on speed, I passed.
There has to be a better way then all this. Sleep is non existent. I have tried valerian root, melatonin combined with other herbs before I tried a lot of antidepressents that had horrible side affects. I finally tried ambien but my insurance won't pay for it. Even the generic is way to expensive.
I have been taking fish oil, vitamin C, multi vitamen, magnesium and tried Acetyl L-Carnitine for memory - it didn't work either. I don't think there is much help for it.
I actually went to a doctor last month who told me fibromyalgia didn't exist - hows that for the dark ages? As long as doctors don't agree on it being a real thing there will be no help for it. We need more research and more telling their stories to get the word out there.
