Gabapentin

Hi even though I have multiple leisons on brain and spine the neurologist still will not diagnose, but she has suggested the GP prescribing Gabapentin for chronic pain. Was just wondering whether anyone else takes this and if so how effective is it?

I chose Plegridy due to it being allowed to be out of a fridge longer (I like to travel) and only 1 injecti...

Lesions without symptoms?

Anyone else have 20+ lesions and minimal symptoms? It’s causing me a lot of anxiety for the future. Or am I just lucky (not sarcasm, I understand that it’s lucky I have minimal symptoms).
