Barbara You explain this very well. I am also on Neurontin and know when it is time for my dose by how I feel. I increased my dose by changing from every eight hours to every 6 hours. I just took one at 5.5 hrs because I felt the need. We aren't junkies. We could quit our meds if it wasn't for the pain. It's not easy to quit the narcotics. BTW it take 600mg Neurontin and 10mg Baclofen 4x daily.

My lesion was at T8-10, and this is the most painful from just above the waist to my toes. My torso from about my bra strap to my waist is generally warm, but not hot or freezing. Not anywhere near as sensitive as the rest of my lower half. The sensitivity to touch is from waist to toes, and sometimes worse than others. The Neurontin is my drug of choice for this and is extremely useful for it. It's really easy to tell when it's time for my next dose though, and it's horrible if I'm running late and until that next one kicks in. Gosh, I sound like a junkie, maybe I am and in denial. Not on a narcotic though, other than occassionally. Hugs, Barbara A ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
