After using Mirpex and then Ropinerole, over a number of years for my restless leg syndrom (RLS). I have central sleep apnea and a year ago my sleep doctor gave me a script for Gabapentin, gradually raising the dosage to 300 mg an hour before bedtime. I had been experiencing extremely painful pain in my left wrist, radiating to my left thumb which I attributed to arthritis, because I had been told I had arthritis in my right knee and left hand, many years ago. My right knee was bone on bone and I had a total knee replacement in 2010. When I reached 300 mg of Gabapentin my RLS was gone and, amazingly to me, all the pain I had attributed to arthritis was also gone! After about ten months of 300 mg of Gabapentin, some mild discomfort has returned in my hands. I have requested a lower dosage of Gabapentin to take in the morning for daytime discomfort. I have a September appointent with a neurologist, which will be my first opportunity to talk with a neurologist and try to sort out what I am experiencing. I had had peripheral neuropathy dx in about 1990 and ideopathic small fiber neuropathy dx in 2014. I am 85 years old and have a number of issues that come with old age. Sorry for the scatter shot. I was trying to relate to those of you dealing with pain and Gabapentin.
