Feeling lucky

After reading all of the posts today from everyone suffering and needing to use such a vast amount of medications, some really heavy-duty, I have to say that today I feel very lucky. I should not complain about still needing to take 600 mg of gabapentin after having an iron infusion while so many of you suffer so much more than I do. My heart goes out to all of you and hope that there is a better way of relief becoming available coming.

I'm due to have an iron infusion do you think it helped? Won't take Gabapentin again though.

It helped a little. I was able to decrease my gabapentin from 900 to 600 mg.

I will say, though, gabapentin has been a life saver for me.
