      These do not even touch me.
      Neurontin Not Working
      This is my latest. It is working well. I am concerned though that they keep having to up the dosage. So, now i am going off of. Slowly decreasing. Not sure what they will try next. Think i need to do some research.

      exercise helps gets the nerves lubricated and works the joints out. It is alot of pain at first though!
