I'm still taking 600mg at night. Usually wake up with pain, I think bc I sleep on my stomach. It goes away quickly. Overall, I'm doing ok unless I lift things or do stretching. It seems to be mostly on my right side & around into my back. We've been traveling, so haven't seen a DR for awhile. I'm going to make an appointment for this summer for a pain Dr. when I'm in 1 place for awhile. Hopefully, he/she'll be at least willing to continue the gabapentin, unless they have a better idea. What are you doing for yours.

I am still taking 900mg (3 x 300mg) per day. Neurologist wanted to increase the dosage until I mentioned the side effect of brain fog at times. I'm getting used to it, but I know that the dosage needs to increase; my left side of my chest still hurts more than I would like.
