Thank you again. :)

Yes. I was prescribed amitriptyline by oncology, 10mg at night. Had to double it last year, but does help.

My doctors opted to slowly work though the lsrge array of drugs on offer. The 'overview and management section' of this nhs page might be useful to you and your GP:

Thank you.  Was it for tremors in  hand? 

My GP is referring me to a neurologist, I think it's to rule our Parkinson's, etc. 

Hi Maggie!

I've got peripheral neuropathy from having Oxilaplatin.  When I was on the treatment, I got it in my fingers but since I finished treatment, I've got it in my feet!

It doesn't hurt but they are constantly tingling and when I'm out walking and it makes me feel like that I am skidding!  I've been using a walking stick when I go out as I've got arthritis in my left knee and even with that, still struggle to cross the road and get on and off the bus!

Sorry I'm not being very helpful.

Hi there.

Sorry to hear about your arthritis, very painful.

Touch wood, I haven't got it in my feet, it's just my hands and fingers.  

Did your GP refer you to a neurologist? 

You are being very helpful, thank you.
