Can Fibromyalgia Cause Pain Despite Of Taking Gabapentin?
HelloI have Fibromyalgia and am in the middle of a bad flare-up. Our weather here at the moment (NZ) is hot and humid and I have a lot of pain and feel weird. My BP is actually quite low for me 108/70 with a heart rate of about 70. My BP has fluctuated and last time I felt ill it was 160+/110 and has been as low as 98/70. I am on 500mg of Gabapentin daily and Paracetamol as required (at least 4 per day). Could this be caused by my Fibro and can Gabapentin stop working? I have been on it for approx 3 years. Thanks Judy
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, Fibromyalgia is not the pathological disease as matter of fact and it is nothing to take anything with region where you live neither related with the blood pressure but highly related on your thinking and thoughts so better to control your thought you may continue the medicine given for this, hope this information helps.
