my legs

They HURT!  I decreased my neurontin like mr know it all (remember Mr Know It All on Bullwinkle?) wanted me to and my legs are really giving me trouble.  

Most of it is in my thighs.

Hi Wobbly,
It was that putzy neuro I am switching from who gave me the neurontin and then decided to take it away.  So I have no neuro right now.

The neurontin works at the higher dose.  I have NO clue why he wanted me to go off of it other than it was his opinion that my clinical symptoms were psychosomatic and not MS related.

I have tried going down on my dose but it is just not working.  He also wanted me off Balcofen!  That is one of the main medications that has given me a great deal of relief.

I am hoping to get into the new neuro very soon.
