Just taking a moment to give some appreciation for our long time employee (and family friend) Kim Ricketson Fenton As most of you know, Kim is relocating to Florida to be closer to her momma and other family members.
Kim has been with us for 25 years...it's definitely bittersweet, but we wish her all the BEST!!
During these years, she helped with the boys whenever needed and always made them their favorite dessert...Dirt Pudding. A few weeks ago, we took her to dinner and recalled some of those memories❤️
This is her last week in our office...if you want to say goodbye, please stop in Tues afternoon, Weds morning or Fri afternoon.

🧠 Nerve Pain Drug Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
A new large-scale study has uncovered a concerning link between long-term use of gabapentin—a widely prescribed drug for nerve pain—and a heightened risk of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

🔬 Researchers analyzed medical records from over 26,000 patients and found that those who had six or more prescriptions of gabapentin were:

- 29% more likely to develop dementia

- 85% more likely to experience MCI within 10 years

Strikingly, the highest risk was observed in adults aged 35 to 49, prompting experts to urge closer monitoring of patients’ cognitive health when prescribing gabapentin for extended periods.

💊 Marketed under names like Neurontin, gabapentin has become a popular alternative to opioids for managing chronic nerve pain. But its mode of action—suppressing neural activity—may inadvertently interfere with brain circuits crucial for memory and thinking.

📚 While previous research yielded mixed results, this new study offers stronger evidence due to its robust sample size. Scientists caution that more research is needed to determine if gabapentin directly causes cognitive decline or if it's linked to other underlying factors in chronic pain sufferers.

➡️ If you or someone you know uses gabapentin long-term, talk to your healthcare provider about potential cognitive effects. Regular cognitive assessments may help detect early changes.
