Hello:
I am Cynthia. Nice to meet you all.
I have a Poly-Radiculo-Neuropathy. A condition that give me crisis of acute pain since my coxis to my lumbar, dorsal, cervical spine connecting with my head, face teeth, shoulders, chest, ribs, arms, and hands. I have pain all the time. I have taken Gabapentine and then Carbamazepine. I cannot be setting for much time, or resting in bed, or stay on foot. I cannot sustain a heavy book in my hands because of the pain. To sleep is very painful.
To write using hands is almost imposible. Tendons around wrist get hard the muscles next to elbow contracts. The fingers get hard too and I have troubles to close the hands. And if when pain started getting stronger I keep writting longer then the pain tooks my shoulders, cervical and omoplates, making my hole arms not usables. I am searching another treatment for this neurological pain. It cannot contain Opium derivates, cause I am allergic.
A new study shows I also have a bifida spine and it seams I have a reumatological condition. I have thyroid cysts and suprarrnal (kidney glands) disorder named Low cortisol syndrome-no Addison.
I was an Early Music student. I was learning to play Early Harps.
I will thank your advices
Cynthia; I'm looking for a MD or specialist who can advise my doctor about the validity of Gabapetin for PN. Could you provide his/her name and contact info?
