I had a bad case of Shingles. Given Amitriptyline and Co Codemol. I was a constipated zombie who couldn’t get out of bed and in a lot of pain. Used to sleep about 5 minutes in the hour.
Stopped the Co codemol after 3 weeks the pain was exactly the same.
The amitrptyline ran out after 4weeks, apart from one night when I wanted to be shot, the pain was exactly the same without them.
A few days later the pain was still the same but I was functioning again, doing things and going for short walks.
Three years later I’ve still occasional pain and can’t sleep with the rhs of my head touching the pillow but I’ll just live with it thank you. No more drugs!
