My dr was sick yesterday and so my appointment was cancelled and scheduled for today. I chickened out on the weekend and didn't want to start the gabapentin without his advice. So I'm not on the gabapentin yet. I decreased nortriptyline to 40 and will go to 30 tonight.
I'm sick of this. I don't know how any of you are still here. I can't open a door without my hands hurting, I can't sit, lie down without my back neck and head hurting immensely ( on top of the regular hurting of every other body part)

Canagirl, if you really want some relief I think the gabapentin is the key thing for you to try. I know you are concerned about meds but I have tolerated it very well and usually react very badly to meds. I have hypersensitivity to many drugs but this has been absolutely fine.The only side effect has been drowsiness - this wore off after a few weeks. Although I'm not cured by any means, it has reduced the pain from constant agony to much more bearable. Please just consider starting it in order to gain some relief.
