What are the options for joint and muscle pain?
When I saw Dr K on Thursday, we spoke briefly about amitriptyline (which I tried years ago and gave me nightmares) and plaquenil. We didn't come to any conclusions, as he is going to ask my GP to refer me to him at St Thomas's for further investigation. I've got some sort of low grade connective tissue

So... This is my first blog. Not sure which way to turn anymore
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year after being sent to a rheumatologist. Felt like I was kind of given a label and discharged. I belong to a doctor's surgery so more often than not I see different doctors. I noticed last time I went I flashed up as a " frequent user" which made me feel like

anyone else get pain in their pelivc bones?
I had a lap to confirm and remove endo a year ago and everything was brilliant until October when I stated getting really bad period pains again. I'd been on ocp for about 10 years prior to surgery and stopped afterwards as my husband and I decided if we were going too try for a family we should do

Muscle Wasting Away :(
Hi All, Since my flare up kicked off in November my wrist has been in a wrist splint in the day due to it being so painful now as expected I cannot move my wrist hoping to get physio soon. However my wrist has got so skinny I can feel my bone so I'm guessing muscle is wasting away as I can't hold stuff

Adenomyosis ? Awaiting 4th Decapeptyl injection and hopefully an hysterectomy.
i am 41 and am lucky enough to have 2 children aged 5 to 8. I have always suffered with mood swings and have been in and out of therapy and on and off depressants since puberty. Periods up until pregnancy were heavy but not painful and i managed good work record. Problems really started with pregnancy

Painkillers?
Hi, I take paracetamol which barely touches the pain - tried Co-codamol and had bad reaction to them - need something for flares ups - what is the next step up for pain reduction. Thank you.

Chronic pain
Hi there to all of you and a sincere wish for you all to be well and happy. I wonder if you could give me some help? Since August of last year I have had left sided lower abdomen pain. I have had a colonoscopy (never again) which revealed Diverticular disease but the consultant dismissed this as not

Woke up middle of last night in absolute agony
And still have all the pain now, from my neck right down to my feet, and have mild numbness in my right arm/hand. I am still unable to get a docs appointment and no pharmacy will let me buy anything stronger than paracetamol without a prescription =( ( that includes over the counter co-codamol & ibuprofen

Medication is making me ill
A few weeks ago I was advised to increase my amitryptyline from 10mgs to 50mgs. For the last week my legs have been numb and walking almost impossible. It takes so much effort just to move my legs, it was like they were no longer part of my body. I couldn't even turn over in bed. I forgot to take

Taking Co- codamol with underactive Thyroid
I've been taking Levothyroxine for many years and my Dr. has just given me Co-codamol as I suffer real bad headaches, these are stronger than 'over the counter' ones you can buy. The paperwork that comes with them says not to be taken if you have an underactive thyroid problem. Just wondered what

Advice and ideas needed, please! What should I do about constantt pain, sickness and piles of medication?
I take gabapentin, tramadol and sertraline on a daily basis. With co-codamol 30/500 thrown in occasionally! I am still in pain and have started having problems with keeping food down and headaches (twice weekly). It is suspected I have damaged nerves or adhesions but no one has given me a definate
