Neurontin & MCS (for Hazelpone)

[Guest guest]

Yes, you're right....I should have mentioned that, i.e. Neurontin works best

for *neuropathic* pain. If the pain is coming from something else then N

might not be the right drug and more wouldn't help. Sometimes it's hard to

tell if pain is from neuropathy or nerves and sometimes people have more than

1 type of pain and need to take more than 1 kind of RX to get all the pain

under control.

+++++I meant to mention to Hazelpone that some people take Neurontin for MCS

(chemical sensitivity) symptoms and report really good results. People who

couldn't leave their houses or go to a mall or tolerate perfume or scented

products can now live more normal lives.

as a pain pill and it is not. It works to calm the nerves, so it only works

for things in the brain and things like neuropathy. It doesn't work on

incision pain or muscle cramping directly. By calming the nerves, it might

help these, but not as much. >>
