Good story Swordz and I am hoping it gets even better.

Are you willing to share some details of the cost ($$$) with us?

This thread is almost two years old ...
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

what is so GOOD about it? You guys need to look at the date of some of these threads because you guys are taking this thread out of context because the dental device did NOT resolve his problems either,

viewtopic.php?t=22070

Because on July 13, 2007 in the above thread he wrote:
Swordz wrote:After struggling to find the reason for my still present fatigue, my Dr. is wanting me to try neurontin for mild PLMD. From my PSG last October, I had ~25 movements/hr, but none that lead to major arrousals. My Dr. spoke with me about how the electrodes placed on your scalp can only measure electric disturbances so close to them, and that PLMD's can cause happenings deeper in the brain not caught by the sensors.

I am currently undergoing PT for mild scoliosis with a curve of 22%. I found my curve has gotten worse over the last few yrs, but i haven't noticed that my sleep is any better on nights that my back pain is less severe.

Does anyone have comments, opinions, success stories with neurontin? I'm assuming that neurontin is like other medications in that it might not work for everyone, and that PLMD treatment is completely subjective.

And this goes back to what I've said before:

You can have OSA and have it well under control and still end up fatigued and tired during the day. Same thing with a dental device, before you go wasting your money on that you better make SURE you know all the issues about your sleep before you run off wasting your money on alternative therapies.

Because you will end up just like Swordz back to square one and a lot less money in your wallet. All he did was substitute cpap for a dental device and got no where.
