ibromyalgia
"I was in a really bad flare for months, fearing that new level of pain and intensity was becoming my body's norm. I'm grateful I was able to get in touch with a doctor that recommended Gabapentin and Flexeril.  Been taking both, more of the Gabapentin for just over a week.  My dosage will be increased, but as of now I'm taking 300mg of Gabapentin 4 to 5 times a day.  I really notice the biggest relief after the first hour, then it seems to taper off.  I feel like there is hope again with the relief I've experienced on this medication.  I will be asking on my next visit about the dosage or difference in how it releases into the body, so that my pain stays at the lower levels. If you haven't tried this medicine, I'd highly recommend to do so."
