ibromyalgia
"Gabapentin has saved my life.  I am able to function now.  Dealing with  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia for the past 20 years has been a challenge, not to mention the pain. I felt like I was a guinea pig, trying all the medicines out there and being allergic to most of them while the others didn't come close to working.  But with the gabapentin, I was so tired but after a while that went away. I wanted to up the dosage but my doctor did it very slowly.  Even though I am not 100% pain free at this time, I can function and be happy.  I will always have this medicine with me so I will never miss a dose."
