Coninued: The above stated senerio was a disaster. I am lucky to have my husband. It became dangerous. After the medication fiasco, doctor and ER visits later I found my current internal medication doctor. She started me on a slow prednisone tapor in September in February at 8 mg, I started thinking more clearly. She kept a close look at gabapentin. It was a hard choice to decide to tapor gabapentin or prednisone first. Gabapentin makes me feel so very sad. She medicated me for pain. I slowly could function better. Until June, I could hardly walk acress the room and didn't know why.
