Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 My doctor diagnosed that I do have fibromyalgia. He perscribed AMITRIPTYLINE 10MG TABLETS and warm water excercise. Is anyone else on this drug? It is an antidepressant (I don't have depression)but it is also used for chronic pain and to help with sleeping. I am glad to have a diagnosis. I hope the fibro doesn't get any worse. Right now I can work because I have a desk job. Anything that involves standing for even a short length of time or walking would not work for me. I do get shoulder pain from using the computer but it is not bad enough to not be able to do it. One unfortunate thing is I am going to resign from my chorus. Standing on the risers for 3 and a half to 4 hours is impossible and I don't feel right sitting out in front of the group during the rehearsals. It isn't fair to the other members and I don't think I can do shows and competitions anyway. That requires being on your feet literally all day. I know I just have to take it easy and do what I can and forego what I can't. Gentle Hugs Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
