margareth64

Saw my doctor today the only one in practise that I hadnt seen. She has given me Amptryline?? something I cant spellit!! And an anti inflammatry. She is getting bloods done on Tue when they reopen ,Bank holiday on Monday, then im getting some kind of injection into my hips to help with the Bursitis she does that herself. She mentioned refering me to Rhemy and said it sounds like I have Fibro as well but wants to rule out everything else. I felt like hugging her, Ive three docs in practise and she is very hard to get now I no why!! The anti inflammatry is called Etopan xl 600mg ive never heard of these??

Hi Margareth

Such a positive post from you. That is great, it makes such a difference when a doc listens, sympathises and is efficient with sending you for bloodtests and so on and giving scripts for meds. You may find that the amitriptyline will help you sleep at night if you have trouble with this. I am not sure what strength you have been started on but the dosage can be increased by the doc if it does not appear to be helping you.

Look after yourself,
