Default Hello!

Hi folks,
I do believe I've finally found the place I've been looking for.

I'm Cliff, a recently retired Emergency Medical Technician in the NHS ambulance service. Gutted not to have made 30 years, just a mere 29 years, 9 months, 6 days, 7½ hours.

Medically retired due to post thrombotic syndrome and peripheral neuropathy.

The latter by far the greater problem.

I have no or very little sensation from mid-shin down on both legs, apart that is, from pain.

I take 10mg amitriptyline at night with 2 x 30/500mg cocodamol.

For a short time, I took 20mg amitriptyline but the dreams became nightmares, quite horrific at times so I reverted back to 10mg.

My gait and balance are badly affected and the pain during the day is awful.

I'm hoping I might benefit from advice from you good people and possibly help others out in the process.
Cheers!
