[sharne27]

Well the past few days im back on crutches my face hurts and lost sensation in my left arm. Went in a shop and couldn't get my words out at all felt so embarrassed. On the upside my mum and dad are moving back to Nottingham from Cornwall a week Sunday they are both unwell. The docs are taking me off the gabapentin Monday to only been on them 2 weeks i think. xx

Are you happy to be taken off the Gabs? If so then that is a good thing, if not, how will you cope with the pain? I am glad your parents are moving closer to you. I know how you feel about words. I struggle to get them out verbally and also in writing down or typing. I have to check things over and over because even a mistake seems right, if you know what I mean. I really hope things improve for you soon hun xxxxx

My jaw tends to do its own thing, sometimes in the day, but mainly when I am trying to sleep. It dances from side to side uncontrollably and sometimes the insideds of my mouth do get a good biting, especially if my jaw starts clenching. I am not on nay pain meds at all. I wish you luck with whatever they are trying you on. No one deserves to be in so much pain xxxxx

I was told that it can take a few months for gabapentin to show any real effect. I'm sure you and your GP knows what's best fir you, but do hope you find some relief xx
