Gabapentine 2nd tablet today

[Menarley]

Many thanks to everyone for all the kind messages I have received at least i know i'm not alone. I noticed lately that noise affects me especially last week when i was suffering with the head pains, it's like I can't have to many people around me at once, If that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense - I describe it as claustrophobic of people instead of spaces

Love your description, it describes it perfectly!

Yes definitely, I think all senses are heightened..I'm the light, I can not stand light..I think I should come back as a bat lol x

Its a strange business this fibro i thought i had first stage dementia last week, i was getting confused and that was without meds i went out to put the wheelie bins out(i have 3) i normally just take one after the other but i took 1 and walked back into the house when i got to the kitchen i realised i had the other 2 to put out so i went back out took another one out and did exactly the same again walked back in and said what am i doing i have the other 1 to put out. I think those head pains had wiped me out thats just one thing i did but there were other little silly things i kept doing. Coming back as a bat wouldn't be a bad idea no bright lights and no crowds of loud people we would both benefit. I put all my husbands hospital appointments on my phone so i'm on the ball with that and we just take one day at a time we don't plan anything if he feels ok we will try to do something even if its just going to a garden centre ( he has a wheelchair that we use now) but that can be an ordeal especially if i'm in pain but i like him to see and do as much as he can.

Hi again my friend,

I can relate to the dreaded Fibro fog! I have also found that my migraines have been worse since I have had Fibro. I want to sincerely wish you and your husband all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you both

Yes definitely makes sense, everyone moans about the TV as I have it so low, I hate supermarkets and shopping centres and can't think when it's noisy or busy, do must of my shopping online now, I think the pain overwhelmes is so can't cope with anything else, love and wishes xx

Yes it does make sense, if you were advised properly what gabapent are and what they do you will get some throw back in your head, discuss this with you g.p (or whoever prescribed these), unfortunately these meds are not for everyone.

I know that feeling

There with you friends. Again I say, it's wonderful to know that I am not alone in this dreadful situation with fibro. Taking gabapentin 100 mg 2 @ night, then added one 100 mg to AM meds. This has been over the last year. Last month added another 100 mg to AM meds. And I fought doing that. Doctor wanted me on 400 mg when she originally gave me prescrip.I tried but notice right away increased the FOG much worse. Forgetfulness, oh my! I have a great deal of experience before I was prescribed, due to my husband and best friend on gabapentin for years I sorta knew what to expect, BUT you never know, until you have experience for yourself. Had my Rheumatologist 6 mo check, left knee (OA) acting up, fibro makes worse Dr. injected steroid, it does help. I am not able to take NASIDs. So only help us the steroid shot. Well, friends, I leave and send good thoughts that all of you have less pain, less FOG. Best wishes. If anyone has found any help to fight the "forgetfulness" , please let me know.
