Sorry I'm not the Cheryl you once knew.  I am confused.  What is MS Contin?
Is that the same thing as nuerontin or something different?  I am taking 900mg
of nuerontin daily and haven't noticed any relief.  I also take Lortab daily and
do get minimal relief from that.  If I take too many I tend to get all itchy.
Do you experience any side effects from the nuerontin?
To everyone, I wish you all a very happy and pain-free holiday weekend!!
