AuntBob, thanks you for saying that about us being able to sound off and not suffer in silence. I had just read a post where someone was saying that posting how bad we feel and complaining about our pain, said that we were bringing everyone else down. I feel like we're in this together and that's why we're here. I complain but I also try to offer support if I can.

I think it’s the wrong site for that person we are here for each other if you can’t vent to us who can you vent to ? Hugs to everyone

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member..hi, Yeah I think I read the same post you did. Something about bringing her down with negativity, and this site doesn't like the people that complain?? I was a bit confused too. She must be in a bubble world to not notice the support that this site gjves, and how everyone vents at least on bad days. I was thinking that this person was on the wrong site maybe?? haha. You can always vent to me. Contact me anytime. We'll vent together. haha

I have a very different condition but I just wanted to say be careful on Gabapentine and Lyrica. Gaba made me have 4 seizures in a row and never really did much for my pain after 2 weeks. I was made to stay on it for a couple of years until the seizures. Lyrica made it hard to focus and made me vomit. I can almost guarantee u wont have the problems i had with gaba. we all get effected differently. I'm just letting u know my experience and just be careful. "if u dont like how it makes u feel from the start try something else" is what i learned from my experience with all the different drugs over the years. hope it helps and good luck.

I take 900 mg 3x daily. I find the higher dose is helping to manage my neuropathy better.
