GOOD VIDEO COLIN sorry to hear that you're always in pain though - i guess just stick with the amitryptiline that seems safe to take long term doesn't it and obviously you think about vitamins and stuff like that which is good. Turmeric lol that's meant to be good isn't it and its cheap. I think now though mental health issues can definitely cause physical issues or even pain - didnt used to but back in 2016 i started having muscle twitching all over my body and went into a mad panic over an entire summer and most of an autumn fearing the worst - had lots of tests all were negative and during those went on amitriptyline too just 20mg a day i think. Anyway that ended up helping a lot with the symptoms i stayed on it until 2019 reluctantly came off and the muscle twitches were 95% gone and havent troubled me since. Weirdly 19 days ago though i started getting stabbing pains in my stomach - have no other symptoms and so stuff like IBS seems unlikely and again im fearing the worst and have been very anxious about it all -had a doctors last monday he couldnt do much going back in a week hooefully ill be able to get a scan if its still there cause it'll have been almost a month. Anyway im thinking now it could be my anxiety and depression showing itself in a physical way as the twitches likely were. Hmm. My sister too gets migraines when stressed and a weird thing that makes her legs and arms floppy and she struggles to swallow (similar to MS she also was extremely worried until they ruled that out) anyway her diagnosis was just a neurological non serious thing ..her life is a lot harder work than mine though with a family and mortgage lots of 12 hour shifts thankfully she is alright most of the time. Anyway sorry long rambling comment but basically can relate a bit though thankfully until this stomach thing which im hoping isn't gonna be a years long / forever issue i am not generally in physical pain. Hmm. I heard on radio 4 the other week some woman who was taking little doses of ketamin to help her depression and she said it was the only thing in 15 years that had helped. Dont know how avaliable that is on the nhs though not very at all from what they were saying on the radio but maybe something worth considering for you in future if that would affect pain? Idk anyway GOOD LUCK 🕊️ hopefully 2025 will be a good and positive year for us all
There are people who are aware of this cohort of serious illnesses, fortunately. In 1991 my employer (a famous luxury store) put on a fashion show, made up of our male customers , to raise money to establish a research program. We raised $250,000.00 in one afternoon.
Have they/you looked into things like Lyme Disease? I know it can basically affect your entire system and you have tons of the symptoms. Sometimes it's misdiagnosed as CFS
I'm aware of it, I don't remember a specific mention regarding my diagnostics. It can feel pathetic to try suggesting what my affliction might be to a medical professional. Amusingly I'm from Newcastle-under-Lyme.
@csurname yeah, I understand. Haha wouldn't it be crazy if you did have it though, and all this time you've been "under lyme"... I know that I don't know you, but I really hate that you go through this shit. You don't deserve any of it ❤️ Wish we didn't live in different countries I'd love to come chill and hang out with you, your chronic debilitating illness doesn't scare me in the least

My heart goes out to you. Hope you get some relief. xx
You shouldnt have sympathy for him. His illness comes from his accent which is attention seeking
