Question: I have Benign fasiculations in my calves and often cramping of feet, ankles, and or toes. I have been treated by a Neurologist and prescribed Gabapentin. I take 800 mg a day. The Drug helps 80%. The doctor is not positive about what I have. The tests have shown a minute amount of neuropathy. Is it okay to travel for fun to places like Africa with this condition? I am ok most of the time but wonder if I should go out of the United States, expecially to third world countries??. I I am fit and 67 female, my weight is 140# and I am 5"5" and have moderate hypertension controlled with Diovan. I walk and hike about four times a week for and hour each time. Work full time in an office at a computer
I also often have low back pain, helped by Yoga and or stretching and sometimes physical therapy. I take vitamins, and fish oil. Thank you. My blood tests are always normal. I have Osteoporosis but no breaks or symptoms.
