I didn't realize there was a limit on post sizes and thread lengths. I guess I should edit down what I write. Or post less frequently....
Hi Hopefully you'll figure out a combination that works for you. I took dilaudid for BT pain after my surgery. In oral dosage it was effective for the pain, but didn't make me high. I will say I was...
Ugh new symptoms are awful. It's just like WHAT NOW? I'm dealing with something new. I hate it. Just leave me alone, stupid body. I need to sit my body down for a long talk about what it can and can...
Wow. I don't understand how companies can even get away with treating doctors and patients like that. Did they ever hear of customer service? Why yell at a doctor? Why not just calmly say no. I guess...
I'm new here and am not really sure what the Koffee Klatch stuff is, but I'm sure it's wonderful, or perhaps it's a trick to steal my soul, either way it's got to be better than whats on TV right now...
Welcome! Though we'd like to welcome you under better circumstances than chronic pain. If only this forum were for Awesome Circus Dance Party Support. I'm still working on the name. I hope you find...
Nope, no lower back issues. I've never (cross my fingers) had any back issues. And my amazing self diagnosis research did pull up mostly back issues related to this style of pain. Particularly an...
Thanks for the concerned replies. I'm hoping it's nothing. But hoping doesn't always work. I once hoped for a puppy as a kid and all I got for christmas was a motorized tank! Tanks don't save me from...
People will buy and use it. And then wonder why they have these weird sores in their mouths, or w/e nastiness happens. I should get a medical license online and then get a commercial saying I...
Sometimes I just want to take my body out back and kick it's butt. I have a sore and infection in my toe, which is problematic with my diabetes. So Ive been treating it with some antibiotic cream and...
Family can be a blessing and a curse. Ugh. My wife is very supportive, but the rest of the family just provides stress. Do what is best and healthy for you. Just keep in mind your own well being. And...
I'm new to this specific forum, but not the site. I've posted a few times in other forums since I have multiple health conditions, as many of you do. Just thought I'd introduce myself here (after...
I really really hope this works out for you. God I hate insurance companies. HATE them. ugh. I'm so sorry....
I'm going to echo what has been said already. I just find it's easier to go with the truth in all cases with my doctor. They've seen it all, don't be embarrassed or ashamed to tell them anything. But...
We have "plans". Which are to dump the kids on my mother in law for the night, wooohoo! Then watch The Hangover (saving it for new years), maybe watch a few other movies. My wife will have a drink or...
I hope your head cold and grumpiness passes quickly. Everyone has a right to their grump days. I hate sick on top of pain. Makes me extremely grumpy. I recently got over the flu and I was just...
Good luck! It's no easy task. At first I was a terrible diabetic. More in shock and thinking, why me? But with the support of my wife, family and current doctor, I have gotten serious about my...
New here as well. I live In the south western part of West Virginia. Born and raised outside of Philadelphia. Recently got married and landed out here! Nice to meet you all. Back to watching Grease....
I guess I could have been a little more detailed about myself and my condition. The pain is from neuropathy which is a complication of my diabetes. I originally sought medical attention in the fall...
I've considered oxycodone, or versions of it other than percocet with more of that annoying apap. For the time being I'm trying to control the pain with as low a dose of pain reliever as possible....
I'm frustrated with the ongoing ordeal of finding the right mix of medications to keep my pain and in particular my flare ups in check. On a bad day, I won't sleep until 7am when I finally pass out...
Thanks for all of the replies. I will definitely look into Cymbalta for the neuropathy. Currently I'm taking 300mg of lyrica at bedtime, 10/500 Lortab, 100mg of ultram and ibuprofen (for the...
Overweight? A bit, I'm about 20 pounds from my ideal weight. I seemed to put on the weight when i went on some of these drugs. I've gained that 20 pounds since being diagnosed diabetic. Previously I...
I was originally diagnosed with Diabetes almost exactly 3 years ago. I had sought out my doctor because of very bad foot pain. It resulted in a diagnosis of Diabetes and neuropathy. My doctor...
I'm on 300mg of Lyrica at bedtime, but it is not effective for me by itself. Currently my doctor has paired it with lortab and it works well enough for the pain. I had been on a very high dose of...
