    When I first experienced the pain of this thing my Dr put me on amitriptyline, which helped with my depression and anxiety but did nothing for the pain, which she thought would help. However she took me off amitrip and put me on gabapentin which again was to help with the pain but it made me nauseous and very anxious and panicy. So I have returned to amitrip. Has anyone had the same outcome?

    Basic Information

    updated his basic information Mar 07, 2012

    As you've probably guessed by profile pic Iam a follower of Jesus Christ my faith is important to me and has helped in my struggle with my recent health issues. Have been feeling pain in varying degrees and different parts of my body and I just thought I was getting older which I was but I injured my back at work a year past last November and the pain has been getting worse ever since. Have seen rheumatologist but all he said was I had no arthritic problem which I had realised but I asked him about the pain and he said this needs further investigation but he did send me for a xray of my back. So that is as far along the road Iam at the moment. Peace

    As I have said the pain I experience varys and at times is excruciating and pain killers don't do much. My Doc thinks I might be suffering from Fibromyaliga which means nothing to me but have done some research and found there is little understanding, help or support in this part of the world (Aberdeen, Scotland) so feel a bit isolated and no one understands!
