Christina, have you ever taken Skelactin? It's a muscle relaxer. I take it for the pain from statins, & there is a generic. It doesn't always help ... but on the occasions when it does, it really does.

Amitriptyline is cheap, few side affects, & I used to take it for anxiety preventing sleep. Just digging up some old FYI stuff that has worked for me ... for what it may be worth.

I got a dog today! About time, right? If not now ... griminies, when??! He's a Lhaso Apso/Poodle cross, 3-yrs-old, 17 lbs--supposed to be cat-friendly, but for 10 hrs he's been chasing Charlie. Charlie seems determined that this is going to work out--he's fascinated with Dillon & keeps coming quietly back. My money's on Charlie, & I'm doing my part to.

Much love & best healing thoughts.
