Hi Debbie,

the old arthritis, huh? bummer. Quite a while back I took the same thing (it's nortriptyline)... called something different (brand name)...nah, didn't notice any difference except I had a very, very dry mouth - I was on it for maybe 4 months till my lips fell of - I think you've got to give it a few weeks to feel any benefit; it's used as an antidepressant too, so might cheer you up, if nothing else...

Thanks for asking about the cable thing - they've found other routings for the connections, technically no they haven't mended the cables yet - 6 monster things way out in the ocean off Taiwan; say it'll take till at least end of Feb. But seems fine now!

Take care,
all the best
