[QUOTE="tigerlily72, post: 1401967, member: 38433"] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4]My Dr has been prescribing gabapentin for me since about Sept/Oct last year for suspected nerve pain that's got progressively worse. It started with a burning, tingling sensation in the lower part of one of my legs. Now, I have very painful and uncomfortable stinging, tingling and burning in both legs, upper legs, buttocks/back of legs, arms and what I can only describe as twinges in other parts of my body. I have been referred to neurology now and have just got a letter with my options. I need to select a hospital and make an appointment. I've been looking for answers for a while, if I know what it is then maybe I can take steps and measures to relieve the discomfort? I've been looking on the NHS website tonight and some of the symptoms fit and seem to "click into place" - my skin is now quite sensitive to the touch.

Due to the pain, I am often awake until 1 or 2am in the morning and am up again for work around 6.30am. Interestingly, I think, I stopped my antidepressants in the summer as I thought I could do it.
