This is more a statement, I have been disabled from Chiari and syringomyelia for 12 years and this is the first site that I have benefited from. I love it! I do have one question, i started nuerontin this morning, 100mg, to help curb my pain. Does anyone else use it? I currently take oxycontin 40 mg 2daily and 15 mg for breakthrough pain. Thank you Melody

I also tried neurontin for my nerve pain in my head after surgery.....it seemed to help that some just in calming the nerves...but I gained about 14 lbs in like 2 or 3 months....and now that I read selma's post it probably made my IBS worse also.....so glad I stopped!!  lol

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum

I tried Nuerontin...actually the generic gabapentin, but it affected my IBS so I stopped, I did not see ne benefits while on it, but we r all diff as to which and how meds will affect or benefit us.

I am so glad u r able to get something from the site, but u get more when u r involved, so I am even happier that u joined us : )

I used Neurotin for nerve pain in the past. It was very helpful. Good luck and thanks for the compliments.
