Re: A very bleak mood...
Well, they let me out while they did a few tests, spoke with a shrink, other professionals etc.I fell on Saturday and have got a case of Carpal tunnel syndrome- got the meds for that, too but boy, is it painful, just anything touching my hands is agony. I did manage a few hours sleep after seeing my GP early this morning.
Thanks for all your good wishes - they have really cheered me up.

Well done Ffosse. That is good news.

Re: A very bleak mood...
It is really good to hear that you are home, so well done!
I can sympathize with your pain because my wrist is still very painful.... but I am sure we will both recover in time.
Some of us use the forum over Christmas, so I hope you will join us and we can have some fun. You will even be able to exchange PMs with us, if you want to.

My GP prescribed a low dose of amitryptyline meant to target neuropathy disorders plus some zopiclone as I couldn't sleep.

Re: A very bleak mood...
My friend has this, and he works for himself so was really struggling to carry on with jobs.He had both hands/wrists operated on in the end, and recovered really well, and remarkably quickly. Is now back at work perfectly pain free.
Have a look at this from Arthritis Research Ffosse:

Re: A very bleak mood...
Thanks for the link.Well, my GP thinks it will clear up within a few days - I do hope she's right as this is the worst pain (aside from cancer) that I've ever had.
I'm finding that buttoning up a shirt is painful and taking around 3 times as long - same as preparing food (although I've not been cooking, just had sandwiches and a ready meal).
