Chronic pain and allergic to standard drugs

Try talking to ur doctor about gabapentin it's a nerve medication non narcotic. It's a possibility that ur pain is stemming from some undetected nerve damage. It'll say once u look up the drug that it's for people who suffer from restless leg syndrome or for diabetics that have pain in their legs, but my doctor thought I should try it to help with my FMF (familial Mediterranean fever). Which is also heavily chronic pain but from my lower back/abdominals down to my feet. If u don't mind- what is ur familial origin?

I take gabapentin for nerve damage after spinal surgery and it helps because when I do not take it I really see the difference but it also makes you very tired jodi
I also tried Gabapentin; it work for a little while but I did not like the side effects. I am on Lyrica right now, and it appears to be doing the job.
My brother is nearly bed ridden lately from severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. Does this medication help with this?

German (Prussian), Irish, Welsh, a splash of American Indian and probably others. I tried Gabapentin, but it didn't work for me. I'm working on getting an appointment at Mayo Clinic. Should be hearing back next week with a date. I'm trying acupuncture. Don't really know what to think yet. I'm hoping it will help.
