Went back to the neuro on Wednesday, February 10th. Had been on 300mg of the Neurontin 3x per day, then that got bumped up to 400mg 4x per day. Tingling spells and electric jolts continued. Neuro wanted to do another visit. Did a blood draw to look for any vitamin deficiencies, and scheduled an MRI of the upper and mid spine. MRI on Friday showed nothing more. Blood work from Wednesday showed a Vitamin D3 deficiency. Supposed to be 30-80 units, and mine was at 11. The neuro thinks that might be the cause for the neuropathy, so now on a weekly regimen of one 50,000 unit of Vitamin D per week for ten weeks, and then see where we go from there. And continue the neurontin, just in case. Ungh. :-\ How much longer Lord?
