Does anyone have neuropathy related to MGUS?

It may just be coincidental but gabapentin was prescribed for me and I almost immediately developed tingling in my fingers.
Of course I Googled (which is ill advised), and found a study in which this symptom was documented in a significant number of women taking gabapentin. The tingling diminished significantly when I stopped taking it so I have not resumed.
It’s frustrating, this neuropathy.

@pmm My oncologist also prescribed gabapentin. Unfortunately, due to my end stage renal failure, the recommended dosing for gabapentin w/ ESRD was lower than what would be therapeutic. So, I titrated off it after a month, since it was doing no good for me. There never was any relief found, so it remains "something to deal with every day". Luckily it is mostly in my left leg/foot and I can movitate around with my cane.

Yes it's over a year now and no relief.
