@helennicola Helen. I thought this Forum was to share our own PERSONAL experiences, not look up AMA or JAMA citations and note bibliographies? What works or happens to one person might not for the next and it’s up to us as responsible consumers to do our research and make decisions for ourselves.
Could a moderator please correct me if I am wrong?
Thanks so much for sharing your viewpoint. It might bring clarity to the purpose of the Forum if it is needed.

Hi Bustrbrwn, sorry if I came across as being judgmental or critical; I had never heard or read previously that numbness was a possible side effect of gabapentin so I guess I thought it was just one more thing to worry about. The reference to the Ala is noteworthy and I was curious as to why Sunny’s dr. arrived at that opinion since I had changed to the aRAla and it is more costly. 🤗 Helen

Hi all,
Yes, Mayo Clinic Connect is an online community where you can share your experiences and find support from others who may have similar health issues. It's a place where people can improve their health and wellbeing, and share their progress and setbacks and be supported by fellow members.

It is helpful when sharing information or medical claims that members state the source of the information and medical evidence, and where possible provide a link.
