Firstly Gins Charlii and Pink blossom thanks for thinking about me....sorry my banter is dented damaged and gone for the moment will not be posting until I feel better....the reason for the warning I started on Amitriptyline two weeks ago,after 5 days of feeling great I suddenly started feeling little weird things happening to my body, which I put down to adjusting to the Amitriptyline ..... Big mistake..... Crawled via taxi to my dr this morning, pain in my very lower back unbearable, I feel like I am trying to give birth to a small elephant through my back, turns out all those little weird feelings were the start of a bladder infection which because I didn't realise has gotten a lot worse by me leaving it so long ,any one else starting on new meds please don,t do what I did and ignore any little strange symptoms.....so I am on antibiotics pain killers and a hot pack as yet it's too early for any change but in the immortal words of the terminator .... I will be back, and twice as naugthy,,, have a lot of gins baiting to make up for, hope everyone is coping ok and health and happiness to you all

Hi VG I wondered where you were- sorry to hear you have been unwell and wishing you a speedy recovery- glad you have antibiotics - if it doesn't get better after the first 2 days please go back to the GP I really hope they kick it into touch.
You can enjoy some Christmas movies and don't have to venture out in the cold at least
Beat wishes, look after yourself and drink plenty to flush your system through!
Thank you to every one who posted, the antibiotics are kicking in the backache I think is more fibro linked as its settled right on one of the pressure points above my left buttock. But am feeling better already so theres some good stuff in the antibiotics
