For those that have had a MVD and a csf leak- does anyone else have pain with shocks over the top of the head? This is a new pain since surgery. I’ve had 3 in the same incision and a 4th scheduled 1/9 for another leak. He put me back on gabapentin on the lowest dose of 100mg three times a day. It’s not helping, I’m sure because I was on 400 mg 5 times a day before! At that dose- it worked ok coupled with others but cause major talkativeness, and a boldness that was not my personality, fatigue, and major brain fog. Any help appreciated
