Does Amitriptyline cause bloating, swelling, increase in weight? And is there an alternative for someone who has epilepsy and reflux?
Hi, I recently increased Amitriptyline by 5mg and after 2 weeks found my feet were swelling worse and not going down after a nights rest with them raised. I have not been able to get back to my doctor about this but it has made me wonder whether my extra weight could also be down to this med? I am

Amitriptyline doesn't seem to be helping my headaches anymore !!! PLEASE HELP !!
I've been taking amitriptyline for about 3/4 months now and the first two months I was on 10mg and it did relieve the headaches, I felt like a new person ! But then they stopped being as effective so they put me up to 25mg and the same is happening again, If anything my headaches are back to how they

Has anyone had gastritis,acid reflux problems from taking ibubrofen or NSAIDS for endo pain? Scared of becoming dependent on omeprazole
I had a laparoscopy at the beginning of March to remove a chocolate cyst and free up adhesions. I then took ibubrofen for 3 weeks every day 3 times a day with food for postoperative pain. I had taken it on and off before for pain but it is not my regular pain killer. I usually take co-codamol so am

The Best Pain Relief?
So far I've been given co-codamol 30/500 for pain relief, which annoys my endometriosis (makes me constipated and spaced out) but helps a little but with the joints aches. I wondered what tablets everyone else was on? My shoulder is so sore today, it hurts lifting my mug! :(

2 months down the line :-)
I thought I'd add an update on no confirmed diagnosis as yet, we're now another 2 months done the line and still no where near a diagnosis, apparently I'm a bit of a conundrum - well my Mother always said "Born bloody awkward, still bloody awkward" - and Addenbrooke's is talking about a grumbling vasculitis

Co drydamol??
I am taking co codamol 30/500mg four times per day depending on rate of pain, sometimes only three times. They do not seem to give as much pain relief as they used to. My daughter has suggested I ask my GP for co drydamol as they are much stronger. I have done a little research and it states they are

The vagueness intensifies!
I had another visit to the Rheumy today. I could hardly walk due to severe pain and stiffness in my knees and felt dreadful too - you know when your RA is bad and you feel like you have flu and want to hurl etc? Yeah that. Anyway he had a prod at my joints and told me I must still stay off the Humira

What (If any) pain medication works for you?
I take co-codamol and Naproxyn, I think the Naproxyn makes a slight difference but I still have lots of stiffness and pain, I want to see my GP to ask her to look at prescribing something more effective.....but what? So What works for you?

Any tips for when applying for DLA?
I have applied for DLA before and got rejected. I didn't appeal because I didn't see the point. According to them I'm not disabled. Since then I have been seen by a pain management team, a cognitive behavioural therapist and an occupational therapist. Here's a list of my health problems.. Endo (non-active

Positive at last!
Hi Everyone. Just an update and some positive news. Some of you might remember from previous posts that I've seriously struggled for many years and had an absolutely awful time last year, I went to see the Prof D'cRUZ at St Thomas. After a nasty flare last year I never felt as if I fully recovered
