I finally found the right medicines that are working for now at least, and allow me to function. Hopefully you can find the cause and begin treatment to feel better...this forum has given me so much information that has been extremely useful. The supplements suggested here have made a difference for me as well. Thanks to Mrs. D and many other posters here you can find answers that your Drs. may be unaware of. Keep us posted.
Hi Lukesmom,

Curious as to what works for you med wise? I have only had 3 days of the Amitirptyline at a low dose (12.5) and I am groggy. Also, it has not put a dent in the pain, especially the hands/forearms. It's a great pill as a sleep aid but not sure for more than that....
