I find that taking 30mg of Gabapentin 3x/day has given me considerable relief

Welcome GeneLidenboom! I tried the Gabapentin & did not even phase my PN and LSC, UGH!

Oh, I so hear ya Tasha as I have tried everything as being treated w/all the 8 so-called skin specialists, & 1 Allergist in my area to be used as their lab rats just to use their band-aids as I had read this is rare disease has been one of the most understudied and overlooked diseases. One Derma evidently thought it was all in my head which physically it is & suggested Psychotherapy, & I wanted to suggest to her that maybe she should do more studying & research!! In the beginning my husband suggested I just get my hair shaved off, & for a fossil right now my hair is still quite thick w/several small bald spots from damaging my hair roots & would actually do it if I thought it would work, but your desire to be scalped I am sure would take the PN and LSC away or decapitation! It is just so very frustrating and depressing as my Quality of Life is about zilch!😱

I meant to say 300mg 3x/day on the Gabapentin. Definitely helps me.

I take Gabapentin at night to help with the itch. I can manage during the day. It does help particularly with sleep.
