Hi Blueboat,

Those don't sound like MS problems to me unless some of the changes in sensation might be. MS symptoms tend to be more severe and to involve more than one part of the body (eye problems plus bladder problems, for instance).

Muscle twitching can be a side effect of the amitryptiline you're taking. Could you reduce the dose of it or cut it out entirely to see if that cuts down on some of your symptoms? Check with your doctor of course but note that muscle twitching is one of the side effects you should contact your doctor immediately about--according to this from Drugs.com:


Amitriptyline Side Effects: Common, Severe, Long Term - Drugs.com

Hi agate.

I can't remember if the muscle twitching before or after I started taking amitriptyline. But I've been taking that for the pain in my arms. I know I had it last time I went through a phase 7 years ago.

It feels severe. I've not been the same since it all started in August.

Not sure what you mean by "a phase 7." I realize there's a movie with that title but unfortunately I haven't seen it.

Sorry I meant I went through a phase, about 7 years ago

Thanks for explaining! I'm sorry to say I need new glasses. That's my excuse.

The new glasses aren't here yet but they're in the works.
