Feeling exhausted, washed out etc because of the labythinritis (thank you everyone who posted - and @mikeyB thanks for the warning about alcohol but I don't even if want any at the moment).
Went onto GP online system today because I knew the pelvis/lumbar spin x-ray reports would be on there. In my heart I'd hoped that the results would be normal but both x-ray reports were marked as abnormal. Mild to moderate degeneration, evidence of sceloris (which I think means bone hardening), mild to moderate facet joint damage and some space in my right hip joint and something else I can't remember. So, if I've got this right I've got back and hip arthritis but not sure if the scleroris means more than that. Still in my 40's but feel about 80. GP has written "no action" but I assume that is because I am seeing the rheumatologist in eight weeks. The amitriptylene was helping things but I've stopped it because of the effects on my BG levels/gastroparesis. The advice for each of my health conditions that I have is contradictory. At this precise moment I feel beaten by yet something else but I will fight back because I know that I'm in a lot better position than a lot of other people. Any hugs will be gratefully received 🙂
