@darlingtondoll Consider yourself one of the fortunate few for whom Gabapentin works well and with no side effects.

Don't mean to chime in on your conversation. I certainly don't mean any disrespect. I have found that Lyrica works better for me than gabapentin. I have used it for about 13 years. I do have some side affects but nothing terrible like I've heard other people talk about. My issues began with a bad fall I took on my kitchen floor. It primarily works the pain associated with my spine. I have vertebrae in a couple different places slipping over the top of each other and 4 osteophytes (bone spurs) in my cervical area that are touching my spinal cord. It does help a little with my tethered cord and Tarlov cyst pain as well. I can't say that I notice much of a difference with the neuropathy though. I've had multiple doctors over the years tell me that everyone is "wired" differently and what works for one may not work for another. You just need to try different things to see if they help.
