I have Fibromyalgia and have suffered with symptoms all my life. Now it's caught up with me & I'm losing the battle. I take Gabapentin for pain and my RLS. It does help with the RLS and so i don't want to change, but I've gained 50 pounds because of the side effects. I hate not being able too do what i used to and now i hate who i am weigh all this weight and no help too get it off. I have almost every symptom of Fibromyalgia and am still trying to work full time. And this last month I've hit a me problem that you all need to be aware of. I take hydrocodone and my term life insurance came due so i was going to convert it to whole life. I've been turned down for any policy with this company soley because i use hydrocodone. This witch hunt on opiates has gone too far!

I'm glad Gabapentin works for you I had side effects from it so my Dr.put me on Primipexal for RLS this helps me ,no side effects

I agree with you! The Dr. Looks at you like a drugy. I take tramadol with gabapentin. It's just keeps me moving. Does nothing for flare ups. I too, have more pain when weather changes.
