Has Gabapentin helped anyone out there?

My EMG and nerve conduction study came out showing no long fiber neuropathy. The fact that my symptoms of tingling (pins/needles) and numbness are at the furthest areas of my body, fingers and toes, there the nerve fibers are at their smallest makes it small fiber neuropathy. Think of a limb at its thickest…that would be the closer to your spinal column. As the nerves branch out, they become smaller. Hence the smallest at the finger tips and toes.
Definitely tell your doctor about my case, especially if your symptoms started about 2 months after starting the Rosuvastatin 20 mg like it did with me. As it got progressively worse is when I went to seek help and stopped taking the rosuvastatin. That was afterabout 5-6 months of taking it. It’s been 6 weeks since I stopped taking it, and I’d say I’m 50-60% better already!
Wishing you the best of luck!

Hi Janieel, thank you for the very informative info.Now, are you not taking any statins? I need to be on a cholesterol lowering drug or else my levels go very high, scary.
