so sore and getting worse

I feel so sore all over my body even my scalp. I am getting worried and need some advice. Get sick and tired going to g.p. but I wonder if my meds need increasing. been on gabapentin for 5 weeks. 300mg 3 times a day. so fed up as I am not doing anything. I have good intentions but not dine anything today and feel guilty as such a nice day. I fell asleep instead this afternoon. not even had a shower or got dressed yet. getting really low and frustrated.

Thank you. I am going to go back on Monday. I wonder if gabapentin is the right med for me. who knows or maybe need higher dose as only on the lowest of 300mg 3 times a day. xx

Hi there, when you say you experience problems with your scalp during bad flare ups. I have similar my scalp breaks out in blisters. Is this similar to your complaint? Sorry to hear your in pain and wishing you only happy days 😁

Hello Mandy.I have spells when absolutely every part of my body aches and some days my teeth and ears join in just to add to my pleasure..I get the 'afternoon fog' every day too.Here is what I do to fight back..ALWAYS have a list of things you must do and get out of bed determined to get through the list..it might be jobs at home..errands you have been putting off or just catching up on the phone with pals.YOU have to be in CONTROL of IT or IT will completely take over your life.I have had to live with IT for over 10 years and I am not going to let IT stop me having the best life I can.I know somedays the pain is so awful you just want to cry and tell the world to go away but please don't..it won't get any better because you submit to it..you will just feel worse for giving in.Take Care.

Thank you. I just feel the gabapentin isn't really working. the soreness has got worse since I have been on it. maybe I should get my dosage increased which the rheumatologist said to do if I needed to. just wonder if the meds are the ones for me or to give them an increase. see what my doc suggests. xx
