@sunnyflower, @jimhd, Good evening. I think I can pass the membership test to your special foggy brain club. And mine also started with Gabapentin. Originally prescribed for morning and night, I found that the mornings were really screwy. I could never quite get going. And my brain/memory appeared to be on holiday.

So.....my neurologist recommended nighttime only for gabapentin and that works. It does help with the tingles and needles in my arms, head, wrists, and hands. And with a little help from some medical cannabis, I can get a good night's sleep......unless it's a neuropathic itch night. Now that's a challenge. If I take enough itch medicine I can sleep reasonably well but when I wake up in the morning, my skin is just covered with bloody areas from scratching while I was asleep. Even with the medical cannabis, I cannot seem to make it through the night.

I enclose photos so that you can see what I look like in the morning. Sometimes it is just the upper body and other nights it is legs and feet. Sometimes the toes are locked and I have to separate them manually.

Was I that bad in third grade? Bad enough to end up looking like this? Where did I go wrong?

May you two be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.

Chris

@artscaping Chris, When they say pictures say a thousand words, it is utter truth. I have tears in my eyes, looking at your legs. Oh my goodness. Why are we subject to agony? I am beyond words. Speechless. And through your agony, you find an ability for kindness, compassion, caring, concern. You someday, have direct access to Heaven. I cannot talk. I cannot say a thing. I am too overwhelmed. I am crying here. Feeling for everyone, so deeply. This is all not fair. Love to you, Lori
