Re: Myotonia + Fibromyalgia anyone?

...and then there's me. I did try the guaifenesin, as my doc recommended, and you seconded... but for me, nada. Nothing happened, and since I hate taking extra stuff, I stopped. I also tried gabapentin for a couple of weeks (the neurologist just did leg EMG's and I have peripheral neuropathy, and a lumbar MRI showed lumbar-sacral spondylolisthesis, an unstable and shifted vertebra that pinches the nerve roots) - I felt stoned in the mornings, and like I couldn't be easily roused at night - but my symptoms didn't change, so I stopped that, too. I want all my symptoms to be "my own", not side effects of some pill or other. I'm now trying to figure out how to get off the Aciphex, for my hiatal hernia/reflux.

Type of Myotonia: MC- Becker's type

Country: USA
