Modern medicine is a marvel. I’m two weeks into a light regimen of gabapentin and the amount of pain I’m in has dropped dramatically with little to no consequence. As long as I remember to take a pill twice a day I’m able to do almost anything, after more than 5 years of so much all-consuming pain.
A lot has changed in 5 years. I saw 50 doctors, started specialized PT for my recent Ehlers-Danlos syndrome diagnosis, but gabapentin has put me over the top. I can finally imagine living a normal life, without the anxiety of one wrong move and dislocating a bone (which was happening 2-3x/week).
@mergesort So glad to hear things are going better! Here’s to a great 2026 🥂
