I currently take hydrocodone which i get compounded because it would be too much tylenol otherwise. We recently found out that Zohydro is now covered by our insurance and although the price wont be...
OOooops, I messed up. this was meant to be in response to Red Lightening....
As some of the others have said 4 months is pretty soon to ask for an increase. But I also had developed a tolerance quickly to oxycodone and needed more to get the same relief. I could not believe...
You will be surprised just how much pain you can take. One time I was having a real bad time with the chronic pain after doing some physical work. I figured out then that it had been 4 years of pain...
I have constant back spasms so a while back I bought some magnesium oil from an ancient seabed. After using it for about a week or so I had the opposite of constipation. So I stopped using it except...
I got pulled over for speeding on Saturday. Had just driven into the edge of small town where the limit was 30 mph and I was probably closer to 40. He looked at my license and then asked where we...
Thank You Karen. I have looked into this before a little but have not really talked about it with this doctor. A psychiatrist I was seeing years ago who specialized in chronic pain explained how our...
Anxiety is still bad, seems worse when I wake up at night, and instantly feel heart rate and BP rise. Then I lay there awake and all amped up. I weighed myself yesterday, down to 134 lbs., I try to...
My thyroid test came back in the normal range so on to the next step now, uhoh....

They are going to remove "everything"? That sounds a tad excessive. :smhair: Hope you don't mind my silly attempt at humor to lighten your mood. Good luck and good thoughts coming your way....
Hey Abilene, howzit going? Angel, I figured there was a some kind of forum here but didn't realize it would be so specific. Will definitely do some reading over there. nvrthesame, For now the doctor...
Hey, haven't been her much lately, mostly due to me being spazzed out. :idea: I have been getting anxiety or panic attacks lately that go on for days. I only had one in my life before this and within...
It is now 19 years of chronic pain for me. I know it's around this time because I was getting ready to watch a football playoff game when I fell. Wife got to watch part of the 2nd game at the ER....
My wife had problems with her supervisor that kept on getting worse until after about 4 years she quit. She did not tell the big boss it was because of her crazy lady supervisor. They begged her to...
I don't understand why they think that someone would fake a seizure to get pain meds. Is that the normal treatment for seizures?...
I had 2 false negative urine tests when I was taking oxycodone. After the 2nd one the doctor sent me immediately to the lab next door and a blood test proved that I did have my prescribed painkillers...
I get what feels like jolts of electricity in various spots which I think has to be from the spinal cord or nerves but no one knows for sure. The most common spot is my knee and when that happens I...
It seems when companies/government get too large then they lose their humanity and cannot make a logical decision. It's all about the bottom line. Probably none of this will stop the bad guys anyway...
When my eyeballs hurt I usually blame it on a sinus infection.........but about 3 years after I wrecked my back I was trying to keep my muscles active so I was doing a little weight lifting after...
Medical marijuana if you are allowed works great for nausea and lack of appetite....
First, are you absolutely certain that no one had access to the pills after you got them? If you are sure of that you may want to mention it to the pharmacy if there is someone there you know and...
Straydog, I guess gardening is about the one hobby I have left. My wife has a black thumb but I let her pull weeds. :tongue: Abilene, I do have to pretty knocked out to get to sleep although the main...
For some reason my back really doses not like the cold breeze of air-conditioning on it. Some say to use ice on the back but I like warm much better. I use a heating pad about 9 months of the year. I...
Hey Abilene, Yes it is much warmer which does help some., but as soon as the snow melted the bugs came out. We still go walking anyway and hoping to find some good mushrooms soon. When I was first...
When I was refused for Disability there was a sentence that went something like, "Your claim for Disability based on chronic pain, chronic muscles spasms and chronic nausea has been rejected." When I...
Still lurking............. Been up and down, mostly down. Had another severe pain attack in the tailbone a couple days ago, hitting #9 on the pain scale for about 1/2 hour. Did manage to do a few...
New doctor: "You're not in that much pain." Me: "You didn't even look at my xrays." Doctor: "I don't have to look at your xrays!"...
Hey, I am still here. Weekend was a mix, mostly crappy as usual. Was hoping to try Zohydro soon because I have been on plain compounded Hydrocodone for the last 6 years or so. Figured it would save...
When the pain is freaking me out I try doing breathing exercises. I learned various techniques long ago from martial arts and yoga classes. If you don't know any I bet we could find some instructions...
All pain contracts are not created equal, there are different ones out there. Despite what they try to imply that it's to help you they are not for your protection, they are only to protect the...
Man, I wish I could work. I am a long way from that right now. Most of my jobs didn't involve much physical labor though. Have been having a really rough time lately and don't know why. A couple...
I had two negative urine tests. Then they did a blood test which turned out positive. I think it still affected that doctors thinking on me. It's a shame that we and others can have so much riding on...
Do you feel like you are going to jump out of your skin of blast off to the moon but you just don't have the energy? Tired during the day but then can't sleep at night? It could be adrenaline is the...
Thanks nvrthesame, I was hoping i didn't break the rules and get banned with just 3 posts! Merrida, I am the standing man, i have been basically standing all day long for about 10 years now. I stand...
Thank you for all the welcomes. Good, I see my sig line is working now. Alcie, is it warming up in PA yet? We had freezing rain for hours this AM but now it is just rain. A few years ago we had an...
Sorry I have not responded until now but for some reason when I tried to log in after I first posted it said I had been locked out by an admin..? Looks like it is fixed now, I will try to come back...
Yes, I have that weird feeling sometimes like I am going to break in half. I try to convince myself that it is not logical. I have also had problems with nausea for a long time, caused by the pain...
Hello all, I am new to the forum but not to chronic pain. I finally did my sig line so I figured I could introduce myself now. I live in upstate NY and we are still buried in snow and the polar...
It looks like the Medical Marijuana law is pretty new in Conn. The one site I looked at about the rules did not list Chronic Pain as one of the reasons you can receive MM for. They did include...
Hey, I am new here too and I will talk to you. As you can see from my name I also have a compression fracture to t-9 plus I messed up my tailbone when I fell about 18 years ago. Just in case you...
