Hahahhaa I haven't exactly don't that, but I have done putting my managers charger in my bag and then finding it literally a few days later after denying I had seen it !! I honestly don't even remember seeing it. Forgetting that I had a pan on the stove and almost burnt down the house, walked out of a shop with an unpaid for item in my hand, lolololol.

I honestly can't say if that Amitriptylene worked as I wasn't on it for long enough to know.

I take Amytriptolean and it does help to relax me. Sometimes I sleep but sometimes I get no sleep st all. They are also useful for my anxiety and panic attacks. I also take Gabapentin and it eases the pain slightly.

That sounds pretty much how the rheumatologist diagnosed me. He gave me a steroid injection and said of it made no difference to the pain it was probably fibro and did some other blood tests to rule other things out. He also have me a booklet and gave me a prescription for amitriptyline to start taking when the 2 weeks was up and said to phone his secretary and let her know whether or not the injection worked (it didn't) Never saw him again after that as the next two appointments were with specialist nurses and then I was discharged. Never actually got a written diagnosis. First letter from rheumatology said 'probable fibromyalgia' and vitamin D deficiency but never got another letter confirming it.
