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?

Plegridy Posivites Please!

Hi all, I was recently advised to start treatment as I have developed new leisons in my spinal cord! I had the choice of 3, which all seem much the same, with similar results and side effects.
