Hi there. I take 30mg of Amitriptyline on a night before i go to bed. But during the day i will drink or try to plenty of water. I like to eat a lot of greens and berries, i still have constant pain but i guess i am use to it. I just bought a heated water foot spa which helps a bit and a revitive medic which also helps. Keeping warm heated cusions can make you comfortable. Hope that helps.
