no thyroid probs. Been checked. Wife tkes synthroid though. Tried teh neutontin some time back. Put me on my knees, when I wasn't flat on my back. I had rather operate in pain than to try to operate on stupid all day. I couldn't even drive I was so sleepy.

I took a left over amitriptilene last night..........went to speep at 840 and got up at 620. Couldn't hold my head up for long so I got in the recliner and have snoozed most of the day away. Won't take another one.

I've gone on just about a "starvation diet" to loose some weight and take some pressure off my back and knees. Have lost 21 pound in 12 days. Hope to get back down to 200-210 by mid summer.

thanks for the info.
