I had stopped taking gabapentin to check pain levels, and
found that there was no longer the pain I had previously. I decided to stop for a while. No need to
keep taking it if the pain was not there, or so I figured.
A couple of weeks after stopping, I noticed that I was
shaking again. I had not really thought of
it, but my shaking had diminished while I was on gabapentin. I started it up again, and within a few days the
shaking had diminished again. My tremor
had also subsided a bit. Further research
on Gabapentin revealed that so called “off label” uses for gabapentin show a
reduction of spasticity in multiple sclerosis.
As seen, spasticity relates to muscle tone problems causing
tightness and inability to relax muscle groups, related to repeated damage to myelin
sheaths of nerves. So, either it is also
helping the tightness of Neuralgic Amyotrophy myelin sheath damage, or I have something
else going on.
