As this is the first day of taking the additional dosage I have not called doctor yet. My nerve burning started as neuropathy of the feet and progressed up the legs and then over face and down the front of my body back to the feet!!! All tests negative by neurologist and no underlying medical or auto immune cause. I could deal with the feet neuropathy but the whole body nerve burning is reason why gabapentin was ordered.

There is no outward appearance so doctors don't seem too concerned but it gets very uncomfortable especially around the ribs ...when it tightens up it feels like someone is sitting on my chest and I feel like I cannot breath and when it takes over the whole left side of my body I get unbalanced. It never leaves but some days are worse than others. The only offering of help is gabipentin and if I take it at night it causes me to not be able to think straight the next day. I have read you could get surgery and cut the nerves which I would be up for around my ribs.
