I’ve been getting some of that painful restless twitching that I thought was behind me.
Could it be a weather/climate heat thing?
At least it isn’t continuous, appearing when I’ve been laid down or sat for a while.
(I’d accept a holiday break any time)
Sorry to hear that Bobbi, mine is brain generated and my arm and shoulder hurts with internal cold pain.
The pain relief is causing more adverse reactions than it cures so I’m backing it off until there is none and I can make van honest decision based on no drig related symptoms clouding my normal state.
Could be the reduction of the neuronpathidrug is making these bouts of. Old pain worse.
Time will tell but it he gabapentine creates pain in 5%of patients using it so I need to know what life without it is like.

I’ve always avoided offers of pain relief. I have heard similar that these drugs can inflame and be a cause of pain.
In hospital I was offered, sleeping medication, pain drugs, stuff to make you go to the toilet and so on, they must have thought I was ungrateful but my attitude was that these things would, given time, right themselves.
It was my choice and I don’t believe I should inflict my choices on others. I think we should each pick our own way. After stroke there is certainly a lot of picking and choosing to be done.
I’m not sure that there are wrong ways or right, but there is a mountain of uncertainty.
I hope you find directions that bring you to a brighter future.
