Hi Taz
Thanks for the info.
Sis was given anti depressants but she hatsd the effect they had on her. Made her even more tired during the day than she already is. She also has chrinic fatigue syndrome so it is difficult to relate the symptoms to each condition.
Her sleep at night is very disturbed, especially when her arthritis is giving her pain.
Poor love has such a lot to cope with, but she is a jolly little sole

Yes, CLKD, very true saying

Wish you all a peaceful night. PN x x

I'm still up!

Purplenanny - if she was given amitryptiline then these make you feel really drowsy in the day for the first few weeks but then it evens out. I was diagnosed with CFS first and then it was changed to fibro. The neurologist I saw said that it was usually one or the other not both but thoughts on this may have changed since then.

Yes Taz, I believe they said that to her also. Apparently the symptoms are very much the same
Do you manage to keep yours under control?
Guess I should start a different thread , sorry everyone

It took me a long time to accept that I had to pace myself. Like a lot of people with fibro and/or CFS I felt that it could be beaten and that you shouldn't give in to it - WRONG! You can't beat it into submission you just have to go with what your body is telling you. For instance if I was going shopping one day then I knew I couldn't do anything else on that day and the next day would have to be easy. I was lucky in that I could drop my work down to a few half days a week although I did still have children at home then. I used to find that I could do around thirty minutes of activity and then have to rest for about twenty. I also found that sitting with my feet up (felt like a right old woman!) was better to just sitting down. I do think that Co-enzyme Q10 helped me at the time - it certainly seemed to help me think less foggily.

It is a really difficult illness as you look fine. Yes, start another thread although I think we did have a fibro one going a while ago?

Me! I'm still up! Just making sarnies for lunch tomorrow and checking on here and calling in two cats who are playing hide and seek around the gardens!

Yes I whistle them in. Governed by their bellies. Each time I give them their favourite treat which is chicken slices I whistle and so now, when they hear the whistle, they think "CHICKEN" and come running.

I rattle a treat box and my dog appears, or mention a cup of tea.....she appears then too, or simply rattle a knife  :D
She also seems to know when I get a tin of beans out of the cupboard or frozen peas out of the freezer.
She is a dog of eclectic taste.  ;D

She gets about four  ;D

Don't want a smelly dog. She loves pasta too. We have done the huge length of spaghetti with me holding one end and the other going down her throat.  ::)

Was that the cause of her early morning vomiting?  :-\

No, she hasn't had anything different for a long while as she is an old lady. I think she must have sniffed or munched something in the garden dropped by a bird. Or there have been cats around.
Who knows what her nose and tongue have been up to under a tree.

Her diet is strict now as I know there are so many things she can't digest....so it's plain fare these days. Dog meal with a little chicken is the norm.
