    Gabapentin Reaction

    A few weeks ago I was prescribed Gabapentin to help with sleep. Earlier this week I was taken to the ER for what was thought to be an allergic reaction to the new med. In truth some of my symptoms were caused by the Gabapentin but not the serious ones. While in the ER blood panels were done...

    aches, pains, and mores aches

    Hi. I've not formally been diagnosed with FM but my doctors are entertaining the idea. While I don't want to take any more meds other than Gabapentin, I'm really starting to consider it.

    Need Support - Invalidating Doctor.

    First of all, sorry for the length of this. So I had an appointment for my fibromyalgia. I've been told I have it but was getting some more tests ran. I've never seen this doctor before. She was nice at first (and remained 'nice' throughout the appointment). I say 'nice' because some of the...

    New Fibro girl on the block

    Hi all! It's good to find others who seem to have experienced similar symptoms. I've not been formally diagnosed with FM but my Rheumatologist suspects I have "a little fibro" but where do I go from here? I've been exercising and eating healthy which helps but I still have some painful achy...
