Re: How did gabapentin stop my migraine when nothing else worked?

i thanks for your answer. I had a virus in april could that have caused an over stimulation of the nervous system?

Also my air con was leaking coolant in june and I had it disconnected. Maybe that was the cause? The headaches started about the middle of june and became worse and worse until it was constant.

I dont have any psycological disorders but am considering getting some counceling because the pain (not just there but fibro pain as well) is getting me down. I wouldn't say its Depression but I have been emotional over the last few weeks. I dont have bi polar disorder or anxiety. I know what anxiety does to you as my mum has it. I dont think I would have the energy to be anxious. Most of the time I am pretty relaxed when I am not in pain. I dont know where to look to think about lifestyle changes because everything was perfect before all this began. I was happy with my weight, have 2 great kids, work was going well and even my finances are ok. I dont drink, smoke or take drugs and my only vices are chocolate and diet coke (both of this I cut out for a while in an attempt to stop the migraine)

I'm at a loss as to why all of this began if not anything to do with cfs/fibro. I had 4 years clear of cfs and it started coming back in feb but I was handling it well until the headaches started.

Is it possible it could be a form of epilepsy as I have occasional absences, memory loss, had fainted at work once, had a "shaking episode" like a fit which was put down to a reaction to meds and I get random twitching and spasms. This has decreased a lot since taking the gabapentin. I really really dont want it to be some kind of epilepsy as I would be devestated to lose my licence but it has just occured to me in the last few days that maybe my twitches and absences and migraine are all connected.
