Don't know whether that might help anyone or not.

Another side note...I'm on a low dose of amitriptyline at night to help me get to sleep/sleep through nerve pain that I get in my legs. It has helped but I occasionally have nights of more severe pain that keeps me awake. I asked for something fast- and short-acting for those occasions but my rheumatologist prescribed a muscle relaxer instead, tinazidine to take nightly. I haven't started it yet but found reports of it being effective with nerve pain.
