This is my first time on. I have had headaches for over 85 days and I am taking gabapentin. It sometimes work and sometimes not. I have a mengianoma and am waiting for an appointment with neurosurgeon to tell me about. I’m very nervous about it and have asked for an earlier appointment but have to wait a month. Live in Canada.

Hello @smudie, Welcome to Connect. I know it's scary when waiting for an appointment. Here is some information that hopefully will help with the waiting. --- "A brain tumor diagnosis can be frightening, but if you've been diagnosed with a particular brain tumor called a meningioma, there are reasons to be optimistic." --- Meningioma Treatment: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/meningioma-treatment

I thought you might find the following older patient story helpful aslo --- How a Brain Tumour took over my Life

If your doctor prescribed Gabapentin to help with the headaches and it's not working that well, can you ask if there are other options to help until you have your appointment?
