Happy New Year's Eve to everyone! Best wishes from England
GP prescribed me amitriptyline 10mg and nefopam as an analgesic. Took some of the nefopam to deal with my usual 1pm increase in pain and seems to have worked quite well as I had a nap and now I feel quite good, if a little drowsy and faint. Won't take the amitriptyline today as they recommend taking it 12 hours before you want to wake up, but I don't want to be falling asleep halfway through new year celebrations! So will try tomorrow and see how it helps. Will try the other things too to improve my condition, apart from diet, which is very healthy anyway and can't really change because of the diabetes.

Thank you for all the suggestions!
