Hi - I have used Neurontin a couple of times during my treatments - notably the first go round with Taxotere, which gave me terrible aches and pains. The neurontin worked well for me and made life tolerable those 3 months and then again when I was on Taxol and Navelbine for months on end. I found good benefit from this med, and recommend it to others suffering with chemo pains.
Interestingly, I happened to meet Isaac Cohen at San Antonio last Dec. There was a table of medical books across from our HER2support booth and I wandered over to take a look. I picked up a different book on herbal remedies and noticed a man watching me. I asked whether he had an opinion on the merits of this book and he GAVE me his opinion. Then introduced himself as the co-author of another book focusing on altermative med. AND I had met Debu Tripathy just that morning at a patient advocate session, and had another chance to speak with Tripathy the next day and mentioned hearing about that book from his co-author. He had been careful not to mention his book at the sessions, but did answer a question posed about some alternative ways to supplement the beneficial effects of chemo. These men are SO approachable and down to earth!
Fontaine - please talk about the link with ADD and ADHD to cancer or these pains. I am lost ... ;)
