[TMIC] Amtriptyline
I met a woman at the gym also afflicted with TM. The pain she suffers is close to a ten and yet, she walks with a cane and can do Tai Chi (sp?). I tried, but my balance is so bad, I just cannot do it, and dropped out of that class. The point I'm making is how differently TMers function. My pain is a five and I seem to handle it without pain meds, just Neurontin. And I'm not even sure Neurontin really helps. But I need a walker when I'm out. Sometimes I wonder if I would be willing to trade her pain with going shopping without needing a walker, or holding on to somebody's arm. Maybe. Maybe not. She swears by this Amtriptyline. She says that she takes it at bedtime and has no problem sleeping. Her brother who is a orthopedic surgeon gives it to his patients for sleeping. Are you familiar with this medication? Wishing you well. R
Re: [TMIC] Amtriptyline
Amitriptyline is an antidepressant but is also used for chronic pain and for people with insomnia. I've added this one to my list of meds that have been tried and don't work with mebut again, that's meand we're all different. I didn't have any side effects from this either and there are quite a few side effects associated with itie: weight gain, dry mouth, changes in appetite, muscle stiffness, nausea, urinary retention and some others...

RE: [TMIC] Amtriptyline
I have never taken Amtriptyline, but some years ago my husband was prescribed it. It was a time he was under a lot of stress and was having trouble sleeping. He had a terrible reaction to it. Instead of helping him sleep he had hallucinations. Needless to say, he stopped taking them. However, my oldest daughter has taken it at various times, and had no problem. I guess we are all different and the only thing you can do is give it a try.

Re: [TMIC] question
I had a total left hip replaced in 1993. The butt was sore from all that cutting, etc, but the joint inside did and does function smoothly. It was during the rehab period when I popped my Achille's tendon, but that's another story.

[TMIC] OT: ways to give without it costing you
This is a very easy thing to do, and doesn't cost any of us any money. This video idea looks like fun, but if you don't want to do that, or don't have any little kidlets in your life, you can still vote if you want and do some good for others. It looks like you can make multiple votes, but not sure. From Rachael Ray show 12/13 with Angie Harmon: Advil is inviting parents to upload videos of their children singing a rewritten version of Fever” to http://relievemyfever.com for a video contest, and for each video submitted Advil will donate $5 donation to the hospital. Anyone can also go online and vote for your favorite video and the company will donate $1 for each vote. Angie encourages everyone to participate and share their gift-giving spirit with this campaign. “Christmas is giving!” The winning video will receive $15,000. The fundraising contest will benefit Children’s Miracle Hospital, which has over 170 children’s hospitals across the country. Also, www.Macys.com/believe if you have a child in your life, they can create and send a list for Santa and a $1 donation will be made to Make a Wish Foundation. This list can also be forwarded to an email list if you want. May seem like a small thing, but small things have a way of becoming big things. I challenge all of us to share any companies that we hear of who are making donations by us doing these types of simple gestures. Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
