Was looking around a little, might want to make sure your not taking to much tylenol just a thought....
Actually I got really bad headaches when I was taking it to, a few hours later. I never looked into it, I would just drink some coffee and chalk it up to everything going on. But now that it was the...
Mindy, I truly understand the feelings that flowed through you when you wrote your post. We seem to have a very similar history, everything started with my hysterectomy and adhesion's and ohh you...
Will keep up the good thoughts and prayers for a comfortable stay, recovery. As will my family. Theresa :)...
I am on a drug holiday, and for some reason my chronic pain did not get the same memo. And because I looked for mental health help because of the intense depression, my primary and PM are miffed....
Ugh! I understand your vent, psstt give me their phone number and I will issue a complaint. *giggles*...
Sherrine, Thank you for the laugh and the small cry. Number 2 and 7, gave me a belly laugh. I feel like printing yours and cogito's out and mass mailing to my local offices, but I will resist and...
I am sorry for your loss, it takes time to cope with it, little memories here and there will make you remember with a smile, and eventually more good memories. Not to say that you still wont miss...
I spend most days lately between 7 and 8, my ten was waking up after surgery number 5, left colectomy with little to no pain relief for three days, it was a fog of screaming and delirium. On day...
I look at those pain scales every visit and I have to decide if I should be 1 fine to 10 uncontrolled crying. I disagree 1.. thank you for a moment to breath and laugh with my family 2... can someone...
Raider was the mom that had been hit by a drunk driver, and could not get her medications because of, shortages? I would assume. Has a little girl, and recently lost her husband. Her post is...
No withdrawals that I can tell, and I have had experience once with serious withdrawal a few years ago when my PM got arrested, a very sad story. He was hiding the fact that he had parkinsons and...
After many phone calls, my PM has decided that he can not help my level of pain. He had decided this when he took me off all meds for 30 days and said he would see me on the 25th. Why, my primary was...
Have not heard anything and am worrying about you. I hope everything worked out....
Angelina, I almost cried when you talked about how we are often treated. I still am afraid of saying I am not ok when I see my PM because I have had those types of experiences everywhere. I try not...
After reading all this I am beginning to wonder if I have lost a large portion of my memory or the equipment at our hospital is actually just a box with an MRI label and some random person standing...
Screaming Eagle said it all best. I can add that I had a difficult diagnosis and went to one of our teaching hospitals here in Michigan and had very good results. I am truly sorry you are going...
My primary wanted me assessed for being a danger to myself. I am home now. The professional that did my assessment conferred with the Dr in the ER, and I am comfortable for the night. Tomorrow part...
Have hope, did someone up in the posts suggest a neurologist? Probably. I wish you the best of luck in your search. I would not consider this something awkward, but important and something you should...
Its a temporary state, I have been on pain meds for years starting at the age of 28. I trust that he is doing this to give my body a type of rest and to see just what state my pain is currently in....
Motrin is 800, have had everyone remove meds from my possession. But then I could do one and a half of the Motrin. On the 25th my PM will put me on something, he suggested one of the new 7 day...
Long story but quick version, goes, 60 mg of methadone a day, made more pain than it relieved, exhaustion, I thought feeling like I had the flu was just a new great part of my chronic pain. And yes,...
Metamucil is a great thing to take maintenance dose. I eat a bowl of shredded wheat everyday when I can eat, Mirilax, its been helpful to many people. This is how constipation works in the body as...
You read my mind, to bad the tens is not water proof, thank you....
ten more days of this "It will be good for you" medication vacation and I am barely clinging to whatever strength I started with. Got a UTI from all the baths, no break from the pain, TENS unit on...
It seems like a very confusing medication, good for some, not for others. The only person that can tell you about switching back is the Dr that put you on it. It seems like there are ways to, but...
Congratulations on your impending bundle, Flower. Who posted the cheerio fruit loop potty training, still laughing, that is great. Good luck on your huge move Heather, wow, I want to go to!!!! I...
Have you changed meds? Had any surgeries past or recent? Advice can be difficult and potentially dangerous because it really depends on why your suddenly bound up. Do you have a fever? Are you...
Danielle, I am sure as many or all on this forum will be watching for you. My email is listed, fluids, hot baths, deep breathing, do you have anyone to help with your daughter? Only happy movies or...
Are you ready, here comes the info *grins* no just kidding. Sort of. Suboxone has a cap, anything you take after that is just a waste, or can as I understand it toss you into withdrawls because...
I am getting a mild smirk out of some of the newer "letters saying this was a planned shut down to make the plant safer" Be safe, my prayers are with everyone that is affected and hopes that the...

Hi Scotch, Good luck! I do not know much about pain pumps, mu knowledge ends. that I know they are out there. But I truly hope you find some relief and answers....
Most offices have an administration or a patient advocate for just such these things. It might help to call them. I can not make sense of many things. I have to wait until Jan 25th. i have found some...
Every company has its own little mix of inactive ingredients, some work better for others. Have you asked for a different brand? Perhaps look up the variety your taking and see what the inactive...

Thank you for the suggestions. My PM tapered me down. I quit on Christmas day. The withdrawals are far over. I am now working through 14 more days of narcotic vacation. My PM gave me the big pep...

Don't forget that it can take up to a year for your body to get over surgery and back to normal. Its a big deal for it, and a lot of stress. Keep up with a well balanced diet and every day you should...
One of the most frustrating things is having pain that can not be diagnosed easily. I hope you find the cause of yours soon. MRI or CT scan? Good luck Leeanne....
One more day and I will have been off methadone for two weeks. The first time I took it, it was truly relief that I never thought I would have. My PM was arrested, it is a very sad story, he had...
