scalp tenderness
I reduced my pred from 4mg to 3mg on 26th December. I am suffering from scalp tenderness and slight pain at the bottom of my skull. It does seem to ease slightly after taking 10mg amitriptyline. I have not received my next appointment with rheumatologist. Just wondering if I need to speak to my GP

Update - Not Polymyalgia?
Update - First had Polymyalgia 2018 tapered off successfully 2020 CRP10 ESR 26. Diagnosed again July 2023 CRP4 ESR 26. Symptoms completely different (all neck, shoulders, arms) Put back on 20mg steroids. I wasn’t convinced on 2nd diagnosis so GP agreed I should taper off. Began taper, had blood tests

Duloxetine - cold turkey and afterwards?
One of my tasks in the New Year (after discussing with GP) was to decrease Duloxetine and possibly try something else as the hyperhidrosis side effects were becoming so problematical for me and, after working well for nigh-on 3 years they also now had reduced effectiveness at controlling my pain despite

dr diagnosed me with fibromyalgia today along with vitamin D deficiency. She prescribed amitriptyline, I’m hoping this will help . I hate feeling in pain all the time and not being able to sleep.

internal shingles
hi, I’ve been diagnosed with internal shingles and it’s the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I’m on my last day of Aciclovir, I’m taking paracetamol and codeine during the day and 3 amitriptyline at night, this has been going on for over a week. Is this normal? Any advice gladly accepted

Severe back pain

Hey all, mums chirosis continues to cause us fun each day. I’m now pretty much at the stage of forcing her to eat little and often as she is never hungry, and is never thirsty despite all of her lips cracking and her tounge swelling.

Ahhhh well, I guess it could be worse!
A while back, I was seen by a lady at the pain clinic, who said that I have ‘Scoliosis convex to the right with minor anterior vertebral body height loss at T12, L3 and L4. Disc space narrowing at the lumbosacral level with hypertrophy of the lower lumbar facet joints’. The pain is really intense,

Amitriptyline
Hi I have started taking low dose (10mg) Amitriptyline each evening(about a month now) but as i've just had one of the worst bouts ever wondered if it is just making matters worse by creating more constipation, has anyone else out there with IBSm or IBSc has had success with it or has it just made

amitriptyline?
Doctors have me on this to treat my ibs, I’m worried as it’s an antidepressant? I’ve upper right quadrant pains for 20 years same place, same pain all the time, feel tired for days after a flare up. This may help some people, but I manage it by placing a firm object into my back below my ribs and lying

Aimovig
I've been fortunate to be given Aimovig to try, does anyone know if you continue with your preventative tablets, i.e amitriptyline and propanolol or come off them altogether? Thanks

FM/a blood test
Having suffered from fibro since 2001.A new gp said today he wants to do a fm/a blood test. Has anyone had this or any experience with it? I feel he doesn't believe. I left crying I'm so upset. He talked about changing and reducing some of my meds when another gp there upped my amitriptyline a few months
