Saw my dr today. Things are not good but I'll post about that later. Want to try to get a handle on things before writing a potentially long whiney post:)

I know that many of us have problems with pain patches. I tend to break out and get crazy reactions around the site. Dr said that Flonase can be used on the skin where the patch will be placed. After it dries, the patch should stick and the medication in the Flonase will help prevent a reaction. Of course-all this needs to be done with a prescription, but thought I'd share.

So very sorry your having a hard time of it, hope things improve for you soon.
Now stop worrying about a long whinney post, we all need to vent as it helps get it out and to feel better, so post away anytime. Think of it as theraputic, and we do understand. Many prayers, blessings and well wishes....hope your doing better soon.

So sorry to hear things aren't looking too good. Don't worry about long Whitney posts. As Chart says, just let it come out, don't even worry if it makes sense. It can be good just to get it all out. Lots of love and good wishes coming your way, hope things improve soon.

Rocky, the Product Info (PI) on fentanyl is very adamant about applying anything to the patch site before application of patch. Not even soap and water-so I am concerned about the Flonase which might interfere with the transdermal function. I used the patches for 4 years or more and found that alternating the patch site between 4 diff spots and putting Benadryl creme on the former sites took care of the rash within 2-3 days.
I seriously doubt that you are a whiner, you probably just need a good healthy vent. When you feel up to it, give us both barrels, this team can take it . . . Q
