After complaining to my doc about the pain and neuropathy in my feet ...that has been particularly draining and bothersome at night when I am not even ON my feet.., she suggested we "try" Gabapentin (300 Mg capsule one per day before bed).. That is the generic name for Neurotin, by the way.
Miracle of miracles. It turned off the pain like a switch and I have taken it every night since. No, not all pain all the time is gone but ...it is a quantum leap in paid reduction and I can sleep at night and not have pain in my feet...with much less of problem during the day. After 10 years of suffering, it was such a thrill to have this.
