hi sorry to hear you fed up and sore, i was diagnoesd yearly this year too, most of my pain is neck head and arms, my hubby was given a Tens machine by the pain clinc he goes too and it did nothing for him, but i have been using it for a couple of times a day, and yes it does not get rid off the pain but it does help quite. good luck and gentle hugs

i suffer from severe pain, Im on gaba, baclofen duloxetine nothing help I hope you can find something that suits you

Sorry your suffering at the minute, I'm taking Amtriptaline and Tramadol at bed time and it seems to be working for now! I try to stick with co-codamol during the day otherwise I would be too spaced out. Good luck and hope this helps xx

Hi Joed, sorry to hear you are suffering, but you really do need to sit down and talk over things with your Dr. I too have severe fibro and chronic M.E. and other conditions too. How long were you on Gabapentin?

It is a stepped dose drug and unless you had spoken with your Dr or Specialist I don't know that it was a good thing to come off them?????

Good luck and Gentle Hugs x x x
