Is it possible please to change your user name?

Someone has picked up on my 'name' and is using it on a forum that i used to belong to.

I have looked at my profile etc in control panel and cannot see how to change it.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply Dave. The nortriptyline does seem to be taking effect - it seems to thud the nerves. I also have some gabapentin to use in combination and have now added that back in and will take it up to 900mg per day which i have been told is the first effective level. Now need to give e...

Hi Clare i also have the feeling of something in the right side of my vagina - it is not nice is it and i wish it would go away. I went to see Dr Greenslade privately last May at the Nuffield in Clifton Bristol - he charged £250 - I asked my GP to refer me as i felt that i had a nerve problem. Dr Gr...

Thank you for your reply Greeneyes - i do appreciate it. I did start a post in pain management yesterday to ask you the question - and others - sorry.

Will this increased dose take a while to take effect ? and have you found that it works ? Greeney...

Hi VAgirl My nerve problems are in the vulva too. I had been taking amitriptyline but this has now been changed to Nortriptyline which has less side effects - i have also tried gabapentin. I have also bought a Tens machine and a physio has advised me as to where best to put the electrode pads and th...

Hi Dragonsong I am in the UK and saw Dr Greenslade (from the list of Drs on here) privately this year - he is at the Nuffield in Clifton, Bristol or at Frenchay Hospital NHS . He charges £250 for an initial consultation. He is a lovely man and may be able to help you. I typed a letter and took it to...

Hi Violet

It is good to read that you are better - also that you still post on this forum - often when someone is better they no longer post.

As you say my own circumstances come into play here.

Thank you

Thank you for your kind welcome Carolynm. Hi again Helen Sorry to read that you are having trouble with your GP regarding referral. I am going to go to my GP after Easter and see if she will refer me to a nerve specialist or preferably Dr Greenslade. Noone as yet has replied that this nerve can heal...
