Darn It, the Amitriptyline Was Working

Yes, the amitriptyline seems to have been working. I did not take it last night, and my pain was worse again today. Not as horrible as it was, but definitely worse. I wish I could have tolerated the amitriptyline side effects. Hopefully the new medication, desipramine, works. I took it tonight.

No issues with my Avonex shot. It hurt today though. :(

Absolutely no dizziness or vertigo today. Interesting that this has improved in tandem with my vision. Related?

And today I am once again feeling hungry and full. Back to normal. So... was that the amitriptyline? Or some belated effect of steroids (seems less likely).
