I CAN'T DRINK ALCOHOL

Why oh why does a drunken person make so much mess? As if the hangover the following morning isn't bad enough, waking up to World War III in your house is just the icing on the cake.

For some reason every time I drink, I get 'tingles' in my back that jolt me awake so that I can't sleep and I get major anxiety. Last night, of course, was one of those nights but to be fair the night was soooo worth it. I don't drink anymore because of the tingles so it was nice to get out and consume a bottle of wine to myself plus a few glasses of Prosecco and Champers... Maybe a bit much for someone who doesn't drink much haha?

As much as I would love to be a normal 22 year old, I must have done something SUPER bad in my past life because God is dealing me a harsh set of cards and I can't remember the last day that I was pain/sick free. But I am super grateful for what I DO have don't get me wrong.

If only I could figure out what's causing my tingles that would be the best thing so I could go out with my friends and family more but the thought of staying awake all night super anxious, itchy and in pain just doesn't justify it.

I'm on Gabapentin for the tingles (the docs gave me them for "nerve damage" so does that mean they take responsibility for that?) and I'm on 300mg 3 times a day and they do work because I really suffer if I accidentally forget to take them.

If anyone has advice PLEASE comment below - thank you!!
