I stopped taking my usual dose of Gabapentin to see if I can get some better sleep without it. I can still sleep but not as good and restful like what Gabapentin does. So I just decided to take some again. It is just a third of the tablet is enough for me to last until my next dialysis.
Since I am a dialysis patient the drug just circulates in my body which explains the long-lasting effect in my body. I have used Gabapentin to treat my then restless legs syndrome (RLS) which it cured completely.
Sadly the nurses and my doctor just doesn't know about it and ignores me when I would kick my legs because it is tensioned for some reason. I was the one who tried to research what is that body disorder and have found out that the cure was a Gabapentin.
Gabapentin is not recommended or prescribed by my nephrologist but she prescribes "Pregabalin" for patients that have trouble in sleeping. So I decided not to talk about it from my doctor and I fashioned myself a prescription and let my father buy it for me.
The first time I took it was a one tablet of 600 mg then after a few minutes I was able to sleep because of its relaxing effect plus my RLS disappeared just like that. I felt a little high because of the large dose so I just am taking now a third of the 600 mg Gabapentin tablet which is just enough to last me a few days.
It really helps my mind and body and if it wasn't for my due diligence and persistence of trying to find a cure for my peculiar condition or complication I just managed to relieve myself of the debilitating RLS syndrome. I think that it is caused by a toxic substance like uric acid but I am not sure.
My mother has it as well when she was a little younger. I used to be called by her to massage her lower legs because at that time she eats a lot of string beans. Her legs would kick from time to time when I was massaging it and I told her not to eat string beans anymore. It worked because she hadn't got that RLS anymore.
So if anyone of you would or are suffering from "restless Legs Syndrome just take Gabapentin and it will be gone like magic. Now I am just using it to relax my aching body and to give my sleep some improvement and enhancement.
