She is going to be on .125mg/night. I think that is as low as it can go. She is being treated by a pedi neuro as well as a pedi pulmo/sleep. I just took her for a second opinon last week (before we knew increased doses of Neurontin were a disaster). The other neuro (who has no experience with kids o...

Thanks for the info. Her neuro says there is a very short list of what could cause her symptoms. Unfortunately the list includes MS (1 in 3million 6yo will get it...that would be a comfort, but she has had a type of cancer that only 4 kids in the country have had) and RLS. When she has these tinglin...
