Writhing in the Middle of the Night!

What do you do for relief when you're in so much pain and neuropathy, that it feels like you're in drug withdrawal...in the middle of the night? I'm only on Neurontin, Advil and LOTS of Chamomile Tea! I just woke from a nap, but had a terrible night. (Time to get back to stuffing eggs for church!)

I sympathise with you, @atlorrielife . Night times are always worse for neuropathic pain as we have little in the way of distraction. I'm not sure how much relief we get from Advil (Ibuprofen), but the Neurontin (Gabapentin) is one of the drugs of choice to dampen down neuropathic issues. You may want to discuss increasing your dose of Neurontin. Other meds for consideration for neuropathic pain are Pregabalin (Lyrica) and Amitriptyline.

Hi, I take cannabis at night for pain and help me sleep with a vaporizer it takes the pain away within seconds I wouldn't be able to cope without it. Have thought about trying to get Sativex? I live in France its really hard to get it.
