, HCV is associated with many extra-hepatic disorders, Fibromyalgia

and type II diabetes are just a few. There seems to be more " discovered "

every month. Maybe RSD will be next! Nothing would surprise me any more!

I take amitriptyline also, and it is as safe as anything can be, and not

nearly as bad as others. In fact, new Internist doc wouldn't prescribe

anything until she checked it out first, and my new GI doc seemed to think

it was ok too. I still always look up any drug myself before taking it

though. I don't think there is a drug listed that doesn't have a warning

about the liver, and watching LFT's, even interferon! After all the mfgs.

must cover their behinds!

The Big Sis is on Zoloft. On days when she forgets to take it (damn

that Brain Fog!), she is weepy, weepy, weepy. Haven't asked her about

her interest in sex, though. The thought of that ole broad standing on

the street corner (in her WonderBra, no less) is more than I can bear!

By any chance did you get Fibromyalgia also? I

I am so so so sorry that you have Fibromyalgia, Connie. It's not too

many steps removed from the RSD that

Anne has. I often wonder whether eventually a link will be found

with Fibro (and/or RSD -- lots in the RSD group have Fibro as well) and

HCV . . . and diabetes. For some reason, the diabetic issue keeps

popping up in the RSD (and/or Fibro) area. Can't help but wonder.

Is the Elavil okay with your liver, Connie?

The Sis doesn't have problems getting to sleep at night, but she does

wake up in the middle of the night. For silly reasons I don't even want

to get into now, when she wakes up, I do as well. I'm sorry that she

wakes up during the night, but at times sorrier that I do as well (after

all, I'm supporting this whole FamDamnIly).

So -- in an attempt to allow BOTH of us some sleep, what recommendations

are there for sleeping meds -- for the Big Sis (not me)???

Well, I use Melatonin 3mg. But, still have problems

with sleeping as ypu could tell the other night when

we first talked. I also have bad Nightmares wake

myself up from crying or scared. I have scripts for

Valium and Dalmane. But, I don't take them either,

well once in a great while I will take a Valium,

script is for 120 10 mgs a month I am suppose to take

40 mgs a day. I think once I move from here things

will be better. I won't be the one having to carry

all my responsibilities and my lazy older sister who

will not work. She keeps me stressed. I have to pay

everything and my Daughter, Scarlett and I have to do

the cleaning. She is being hateful to me at this

moment because she needs cigarretes. I am just biding

my time till I move. I am at my deceased Parents

place right now had no where to go. She thinks she

owns the place but each of us own 1/4 of place. She

can have it is my feelings, did not want to come here

in first place too many memories. Well enough with

the whining. I have to make the best of it. I have

had no sign of Diabetes. The fibro gets better

sometimes which is nice but has not since around the

end of December.......Connie
