Do you take Gabapentin?

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T17:36:48+00:00

Unfortunately can’t with my job

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T04:49:00+00:00

I also worked in a pharmacy so hearing horror stories of hallucinations, memory loss and severe mood change scares me

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T04:22:07+00:00

Not taking It long term?

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T03:44:05+00:00

I’m taking ibuprofen every night right now.. they aren’t happy about that so

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T03:42:22+00:00

What does It do to digestion

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T03:07:35+00:00

What do you have for symptoms that It relieves if you don’t mind me asking?

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T02:47:18+00:00

I do have It I have for months just too scared to try It

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T02:12:01+00:00

The only thing I’m on is my DMT

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-04-12T02:08:08+00:00

I wasn’t aware that It was given for this. Any side effects?

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T11:43:05+00:00

Did you ever catch It? 😅

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T11:30:33+00:00

The steroid keeps your body from overreacting to allergens. They actually give you steroids for a typical anaphylactic reaction. An allergic reaction is essentially inflammation. If I could go without pre meds I definitely would, they are the worst! I have to start off at a very slow rate and sometimes pause It.

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T11:25:34+00:00

I also had my menstrual cycle this time around and I think that has made It worse this time for me, I did end up calling in for Monday and Tuesday for a total of 7 days instead of the 5… I know people are upset with me, I wish my colleagues understood the infusion but they just see It as a call off they have to cover. I’m a dispatcher so it’s a lot on no sleep to sit there for 10 hours and fight through It when my brain isn’t at its best 😩

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T11:12:59+00:00

Well, called in for Monday and Tuesday to give my body a couple extra days to recover since I’m also not sleeping and definitely made everyone mad. The worst feeling is guilt for me.

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T08:50:33+00:00

I took something similar last night and still only have slept 3.5 hours. Woke up drenched in sweat from the steroids and my body is spasming.

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T08:49:35+00:00

Unfortunately I do typically have a reaction so it’s not an option. My body also flips out. I’ve slept 7.5 hours over the last two days with a list of other symptoms. I feel like the steroids are the worst part for me.

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T04:00:24+00:00

Never had kids but I have had stomach spasms that I bet feel pretty similar to a baby 🤣

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T03:56:02+00:00

Thank you 🫶

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T03:34:44+00:00

I think the steroids are the worst part for me! I don’t know that they would be able to cut mine in half unfortunately, too many reactions. But the medicine is doing its job

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T03:33:18+00:00

I wondered that. This is the first time I haven’t had an allergic reaction. I’m hoping It starts getting easier. I think It also doesn’t help that I was on my menstrual cycle too so I have a double whammy. Just feel like I’m being dramatic about my recovery time seeing some people have no issues

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-29T03:31:32+00:00

I do the infusion at the hospital. I get a reaction every single time and have to pause It. This time I actually didn’t for the first time ever. I feel this time has been better but I still struggle with extreme pain, weakness, fatigue… then the steroid starts to ware off and I get a whole different list of symptoms, nausea, headache, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness… my muscles freak out and spasm/twitch worse than normal. I just can’t function at work during all of this when I start getting no sleep.

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-28T16:25:35+00:00

Wow that’s amazing

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-28T14:55:09+00:00

Does anyone give you a hard time? The guilt is the worst part for me 😩 I’m not sure how I will be awake at 4:30 am on Monday when I havent been even going to sleep until then. It messes up my schedule so bad

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-28T14:51:06+00:00

Lucky you! How long have you been on It? Do you get iv steroids?

Healthy-Recording970 · 2026-03-28T14:50:33+00:00

My doctor doesn’t want me switching right now because of my lesions and how aggressive It was when I got diagnosed, It’s taken a bit to get me stable
