Hi all! I'm new to the forum. I stumbled upon it whilst looking new ideas/interventions for the chronic nerve and kidney pain I've had for about
15 yrs or so.
I'm a 34 yr old SAHM to 2 little girls and wife to an extremely patient husband. As a very brief medical history...I have a kidney disease called renal tubular acidosis, I had my first kidney stone at 15 yrs old. Because of all of the surgical intervention on my right kidney, I have chronic pain along with pain due to passing stones. I'm the queen of renal colic.
I also have hypertension and anxiety issues.
I guess that I'm here for two reasons. I'm unhappy with my current pain control and am looking for options to take to my
open and understanding PCP (who also is my pain management prescriber). I would also like to bring my experience to the table with opiate pain options, dealing with withdrawal when changing pain meds (i.e. Going from ER to IR), pain contracts as well as chronic pain when pregnant, etc.
I'd like to pick your brains and have mine picked as well. I look forward to meeting everyone. Feel free to ask me whatever.
Take care,
Krycek
