Fatigue, Hot Flashes And Whole Body Tingles. Taken Necessary Tests, All Clear. Had Weaned Off Amitriptaline
I am a 69 year old female. I began experiencing all over body tingling 7 months ago. It is accompanied by a constant all over chilly feeling, extreme fatigue and even some hot flashes at night. I have done all the Blood tests, Diabetes, Thyroid, MRI, vitamin deficiencies, Neurological tests, etc and have passed all of them. Have been to chiropractor, massage therapist, nutritionist, and nothing has eased the tingling. I weaned myself off Amitriptaline anti-depressant about 4 months ago after taking it for 17 years. However, the tingling started at least three months before I stopped taking it. I am at my wits end, have lost interest in everything and am depressed. Can you please help, or advise me as to what else I can do?
I might also add that I pulled 12 ticks off myself back in the spring, but did not get a rash, nor exhibit any of the symptoms that seem to be associated with Lyme Disease.
Thank you,
Wendy

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem let me tell you one thing that you were on antidepressant and you stop it now, so in my opinion it is better to start the same drug again, you will definitely feel better with this and if does not respond then you need to see the psychiatrist, but I am sure the Amitriptyline will help you try it once again, have nice day.
