Hello, I have had severe fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which put me in the bed for about four years. My pain was so severe, I was put on morphine. They were ready to put the morphine pump in when I just rebelled and put my foot down. I was tired of everyone ruling my life. I was like a zombie but was still in severe pain. When I pulled off the medication, it left me with neuropathy in my feet. I asked the doctor to put me on Neurontin for that. I had no idea how it was going to effect my fibromyalgia. The very first pill I took, I was scared to take it because I am so hyper sensitive. It eased my entire body down and it felt so good. For the first time in such a long time, I had the best nights rest. i had been sleep deprived for years. Since then, the doctor has eased my dose up and I am presently on 1200 mg a day. I am starting to excercise my muscles for the first time lifting cans of soup. I know that sounds funny but I have come from my death bed. I am concentrating so much better. I am working on a home study course and being able to get up very early and go to bed at a good time. I again stress that I sleep so well. The only thing I can see that has happened differently is that my vision has gotten worse. I don't know if it is from that. My pupils are not equal either as someone else has mentioned. I also have had some ringing in my ears but I am taking other medications too and can't say that it is just neurontin that is causing it. I have hope now where I didn't have before in my life. I can't say enough good about what Neurontin has done for me. You have to start out very low on it and gradually go up. Carole
