Has anyone found any painkillers that aren't as heavy as gabapentin that deal with nerve pain? I react really badly to a lot of drugs so prefer a gentler approach but the pain in my eye is really getting to me. After a week of covid I don't think I've got the strength to deal with drug side effects ...

Hey everyone! Hope you’ve all got a relaxing weekend ahead. I was wondering what people have found there triggers are for relapses? I’m really new to this but it seems that I’ve had 3 relapses over the last 10 years. I can relate this to particularly stressful times in my life (although when I said...
