Tawnia/PT

[Guest guest]

Hi, Just wondering if Tawnia is still on the list and

how the PT was working. She sounded hopeful that it

was doing good and I was just wondering. I recently

switched to amitriptyline from desipramine and take

30mg/@ night. I feel much more burning now than when I

took the desip. but asked the dr to change the

prescription after that notice that was posted a few

months ago that associated certain pills w/breast

cancer & since I've had it already I wanted to switch

even though the dr said he didn't believe that study.

I recently started a PT/job that has turned into more

of a FT/job since people don't show up but I have to

take the time & make an appt. w/a PT to see if my

problem could be helped. I do have lower back pain at

times, especially in the a.m. in bed- I usually get up

because my back is hurting so PT might help there too

as well. My problem came on suddenly when I started

going into menopause so doesn't that seem hormonal? I

can't take estrogen because of the bc and I'm dragging

my feet not knowing if it's food allergies or pudental

nerve problems. My problem seems to be different than

some of you in that I don't hurt from touch, but have

very tender red bumps near the bartholin glands that

give me the most pain. I think I read that some

vulvodynia is characterized by red bumps, etc. The gyn

said to try PT w/Dr Glazer but he's only in Boston l

Saturday a month and I'd rather go to someone during

the week.(I work Saturdays and I would think you'd go

weekly for awhile.) The Great Smokies Lab also sounds

interesting but I don't know of a place around Mass.

Tawnia,if you're there check in w/us. Kathy
