I started a reply. I don't know what I did to it. It is gone. Anyway, I took it for two months. It was samples from doctor. I got up to 1800 mgs ( top dose) First night at that dose I woke up next morning around 4 am. Went to bathroom and realized almost immediately that I was feeling no pain. No pain anywhere on my entire body! NOT ANYWHERE! Started to walk and felt a little pain in my knees and hands and feet where I use my canes to walk. I am obese so I am referring to pain from that weight. The kind of pain that wouldn't even warrant any pain medicine. It felt like the a miracle! Like God must have done this Himself! I mean can you imagine? Can you remember what it feels like to have no pain anywhere? Have you ever felt no pain anywhere? This lasted about 15-20 minutes and gradually got back to normal, horrible, terrible pain. It has never happened again. My insurance won't pay for Gralise. And company won't pay for it since I get medicare instead of medicaid. Anyway, doctor has put me on regular gabapenten and all it does is make me terribly sleepy. I can't tell it helps much with the pain.Does gabapenten help any of you? I know I am spelling it wrong.
