Theresa, I have a bottle of Gabapentiin sitting here that stares at me every day. I used it a couple of times at night, but woke up just as tired as I was when I went to bed. I stopped taking it after that. I have to have what energy I do have to get me through my days. I can't afford to be sleepy all day. My doctor recently prescribed a very mild Opioids for me, but because it is an Opioid I didn't get the prescription filled. Just 2 days ago when touching the left side of my face directly to the left of my left eye I noticed a dry skin spot that is very sensitive to my touch and prior to that I have been having what I call eye headaches, like my first time with Shingles. Needless to say I am on high alert. So far this spot remains and is not going away. I have been also having very strong electrical sharp pains near the hair line. I am watching it closely, but I don't want to be paranoid. So far not really what I would call tingling. I pray that does not happen. I know I might be my own worse enemy by not taking the drugs, but I don't want to put on any more weight. I lost 20 and put 8 back on and it is a yoyo since then. Prior to this I normally didn't have a weight problem, but I do now. It goes on just looking at food. Thank you and I will keep you posted. Pray it is not Shingles, again.
