And it can disrupt your cognitive abilities, especially with math! So if you have a job that requires calculations, have someone double check your figures until you see if it is disturbing your brain processes
Just a note....I was prescribed 900 mg in AM and 900 mg in the PM, of Gabapentin. After about 8 months, I stopped taking it bc it made me almost "zombie-like". When I stopped I didn't notice any PN pain or discomfort.
I watch what I eat and drink after researching .
This has helped me more than a pill could have. My main problem is the numbness in my feet. I limit myself to foods with sugar, sodium or preservatives. I also limit myself to soda pop which was something I hated.
I also have CKD ( Chronic Kidney Disease). I have to try to stay away from foods
Fruits and veggies that are higher in sodium, potassium and phosphorous. It's a bummer getting older and noticing ones body start to deteriorate.
