What's going on with me?

Hi!
I've been on loads of different drugs but too long a list to tell you why I'm not on them now :shock:

At the moment the drugs I'm on are:
Losec 20mg in morning
Etodolac 600mg daily
Amytriptilline 25mg at night. Painkillers-on 2! I take 2 paracetamol in the morning and afternoon (while working/driving) then I take 2 tabs of co-dydramol evening and bed-time. It's not reallly hitting the pain for me but I take them cos I'm scared to think what I'd be like if I wasn't :?
I do have visible signs of inflammation-especially in hands and fingers but still no raised ESR or CRP. My fingers and toes are affected also. Even with OA in jaw-still no-one thinks there's anything really wrong with me!

You asked how I cope. Sometimes I do but mostly I don't. These days, because the pains are worse, I'm not coping well at all and this only leads to me being very frustrated and upset. I'm off work at the moment (due back 5th March) but scared. I find I cry alot.
I also don't like how it's dominating my life just now and my family life suffers cos I don't have any energy.

We should set up our own club

I'll let you know how things go with me and hope you let me know how you're getting on.
Honestly, if my CCP test comes back positive-I'm having a party!
Take care,
