gabapentin for multiple sclerosis

http://www.medhelp.

Thank you all for your comments. Atarax and Neurontin (Gabapentin) have not helped. Of course, reactions to medicine vary. I am in the process of withdrawing from Neurontin as per the 2-week schedule provided by the nurse in my MS Neuro’s office. I do not want to start another medication at this point. (MS Nurse: “Let’s see, maybe you should try …. Or, how about …?”) I want my body free of these medications.

One of the rare but not unheard of symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) is pruritis (itching), which can be included in the category of sensory abnormalities known as "dysesthesias." Because this type of itching is neurologically based, it does not respond to topical treatments like those used in allergic reactions. Anti-epileptic medications (gabapentin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin) are sometimes helpful in treating this problem." this is from sharecare .

Hi Wyss, Obviously I don't have the boobs, but yeah the itch drives me crazy too. I will be in a meeting at work and all of a sudden I am compelled to just scratch the top of my chest and stomach all over. I haven't had to give any other explanation other than 'you wouldn't believe how itchy I am right now'.

Systemic disorders like peripheral neuropathy from diabetes, hypothyroidism or vitamin B12 deficiency, raynaud’s phenomenon, or worse multiple sclerosis. Check with a neurologist after eliminating simple causes like tight shoes. Treatment would be according to the cause. Drugs like amitryptiline, gabapentin, gabapentin etc may be required. Take care and regards.

Gabapentin, otherwise known as Neurontin is actually a drug used to treat seizures, and somewhere along the way was discovered to be effective in relieving nerve pain assiciated with multiple sclerosis. I find it also helps me with the muscle spasms and "charlies" that I get in my legs. I hope this helps. Beth.

Facial twitches are caused by stress and anxiety, muscle fatigue, side effects of medicines, high intake of caffeine, Parkinson’s disease in elderly, magnesium deficiency etc. Hemi facial spasm may be seen in tumors, multiple sclerosis, stroke etc. treatment may include balanced diet with mineral supplements like potassium, calcium, magnesium, massages for fatigue, B complex supplementation like avocadoes, bananas, legumes etc. drugs like gabapentin, phenytoin are used for hemifacial spasm.

i have my right eye and left head just above my ear twitching for last months . i dont know why . can any one explan please i am very worried and it is constant.

So I just found out today that I am four wks pregnant and while I'm excited, I'm also scared because I am a Multiple Sclerosis patient and I've been taken my meds every other day all this time along with pain killers. Do you think I harmed my baby in any way?

t be tempted to part with money for a treatment for her -to date there are no known cures for MS and no AT's that hold up under scientific review. We're happy to answer any questions you might have. Good luck to your relative.

Hi and welcom to the forum, I have never heard of anyone being on Medrol for that long, what are your reasons for being on it for such a long period of time? Seems to me that being on it for that long could be very problematic but I could be wrong, I am sure others will chime in. As for the DVT I don't believe that is related to MS that is more of a blood disorder if I am correct and MS is a CNS disease.

my sister (24) was diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis in 2010, responded to steroid. now she suffered sudden & complete loss of vision in her left eye. she has been put on SOLUMEDROL. please suggest any available treatment modalities world over ? chances of return of vision ??

ll ask for more to be done, and if this doc dosn;t make you feel comfortable enough to ask for more, you need to gind one who you can trust.i hope things, by that i mean answers come soon for you. dizzy is the pits, they have meds to help with a few of youe symptoms to, that should be offered so you need not suffer.

I just feel so hopeless right now cause no one has answers for how I feel. I was told also that fibromyalgia is not a reason and it is just a term for a group of problems rolled into one. I have been searching the internet for help and came across this site. My symptoms all got worse in May right after I had the flu real bad. Is this any correlation to any of this? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you help.

no sorry i do not know a doctor to help for free but i do know that the MS Society will pay to have you get Diagnosed and pay for the scans no matter if he has it or not, but only those sets of scans'

One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?

The second is the issue where the sphincter works fine, but the bladder fails to contract. For some guy it will take some time for the bladder to empty just by gravity. Men can have a combination of the two MS can also cause ED, including failure to achieve an adequate erection, failure to maintain an erection, and decreased sensation that leads to failure to orgasm.
