hi folks
well i was diagnosed just recently by my gp. can hardly believe the diagnosis. have tried tegretol and now gabapentin without success - both meds caused more pain and blisters in my mouth. im off work now, short term disability, and am quite concerned about getting this pain under some kind of med control. the doc gave me lyrica today? does anyone have any suggestions…both of my gps are in the process of educating themselves…using wiki when im in the office etc.
You need to see a nuerologist. They usually have seen a few cases and have a bevy of med options. I had an allergic reactions to Gabapentin. I tried a few others before I found one that works most of the time. What works for one will not always work for another.
You will feel like you are on a path of discovering everything your allergic to but eventually you will get what you need.
Good luck. You with friends here.
