I'm on a whole pharmacy list of meds but I'm on pregabalin/Lyrica and my doctor did consider gabapentin for awhile.
About the elderberry, how does everyone take it?

Not laughing because you had a pronounced side effect. Just the mental image of the Stay Puff man feeding chickens made me snarf iced tea

We either get the gummies, or we get the liquid and stir a teaspoon into a glass of water.

I gave up buying gummies for various supplements. I think I was putting on weight from all I ate!

I take iron and B12 already constantly now due to pernicious anemia. What's one more?
I could probably survive off all the vitamins and supplements.

My doctors don't seem to want to prescribe B12 injections any more. Not sure why.

I haven't got those yet. I'm praying they don't want to recheck my levels. I really don't want to see my doctor every week.

They won't teach you how to give your own shots? I got tired of giving myself methotrexate shots so I taught my husband how to give injections. I usually won't let a doctor within ten feet of me with a needle but for a retired eye doc he gives a slick shot. Now he gives our cat his insulin shots.

As for Elderberry, mine are capsules.

We have wild elderberry in our timber behind our house. Anybody know if the fresh fruit is better than the concentrate in capsules and tinctures? If they are I'll have to try to beat the birds to them this year.

No, not entirely sure why, it might be because I bleed a lot and they're wary of it. I should probably just woman up and ask.

I was wondering about wild elderberry as well, my grandpa wanted to go harvest some.
