Hi everyone,

Starting Monday night, I increased my new medication, nortriptyline, to 20 mg at bedtime after a week at 10 mg. The first morning I felt really groggy, but since then my pain has reduced and last night I was actually in a good mood! I do have itchy legs, which started when fibro began, so I am working on that as well as trying to get better sleep. (my first goal) But I am encouraged.

I know the meds don't work forever, but at this point I will take whatever the meds Gods and Goddesses will provide :)

Yes. Now I need to be careful not to overdo if I have a good day.

So glad to hear you're getting a bit of better sleep. And if it works out for you, I'm optimistic it will continue to for many years to come. It's not a miracle, taking away all the pain, but oh boy, does better sleep make things more bearable. My fingers and toes will be crossed for you.

Glad your feeling some better. I learned a valuable tool here. Do things in moderation. It really has helped me. I know on my good days I just want to do more things.
