Gabapentin is an effective drug and is used for a number of chronic issues, and works. I can imagine the pain you're tolerating because my Mom suffered too. I am always amazed at how cheerful you always are. <br /><br />You had me guffawing at that orangutan reference!

She has some chronic nausea that she's been getting since she was a teenager, and no doctor ever knows what to do with her, because they can't diagnose anything (so, much like you in the past, they just assumed she was depressed or acting out or whatever). So hurray! I hope they can finally get you some relief.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-77339510190048514512017-02-01T15:14:48.126-05:002017-02-01T15:14:48.126-05:00I always enjoyed Huey Lewis:)

I had a doctor point-blank tell me that it's NOT my gall bladder (after all the tests) and even start questioning me. I saw a surgeon, had my gall bladder removed (turns out it was in bad shape), and have not had any problem since. <br /><br />I sure hope that your new doctor helps you.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-49441844666662908232017-01-30T13:53:03.130-05:002017-01-30T13:53:03.130-05:00Do you take a chondroitin/glucosamine supplement? ...Do you take a chondroitin/glucosamine supplement?

So did I and it's made a world of difference. People are like, but you still get a migraine a week, how's that good? Because, it's better than three or four days a week.

I know doctors are always on the lookout for "drug seeking"individuals which you certainly don't qualify to be. You just want relief so you can function and you have a legitimate medical condition that causes pain/discomfort. Glad he was willing to work with you and prescribe what he thought was appropriate for you as well as get to specialists who potentially can help you more. I hope it continues to be a success so down the road you will be more pain free and able to enjoy that which you want to enjoy and pursue as hobbies, interests, etc.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-69769578334239234892017-01-27T21:04:48.747-05:002017-01-27T21:04:48.747-05:00Chronic pain is tough and I know too well how disp...Chronic pain is tough and I know too well how dispiriting certain doctors can be.
