Kathryn, I have not used the patches yet (new to pain management and they gave me a choice of Morphine ER or patches and I chose the former). But I can tell you, you need not take so much Tylenol....
Thank you Tina! Susie, I was on Neurontin 300mg 4x's daily. She increased it to 600mg 3x's daily. Trust me, if I had to choose, that'd be a heck of a predicament! I cannot deal with the neuropathy...
Thanks guys! The reason I said my coworkers was because someone has to fill my scripts. I work at a chain and it requires I fill within the company, no other pharmacy. I am going to go to my store,...
Hey guys! I'm not usually in this forum when I post but my pain is getting worse and a new appointment is coming up. I'm afraid of going to it because.. Percocet. Yes. I know that doesn't make a lot...
I'm a little late with this reply, Maggie.. I do think you're awesome. But maybe I'm biased. Like I said, you remind me of my mom. And we are all works in progress! 1) I am intelligent (not to toot...
I'm sorry about your ex. It's hard to deal with that kind of stuff when we are already having issues with depression. It'll take time, but it'll get better. I'm glad you had a good time with your...
I'm so sorry you're going through that. I understand a little better about the triptans not worrying you as much. My mother has temporal arteritis. If they hadn't caught it in time, she'd have had...
I'm sorry I've been persistent about this. I'm just concerned about your use of the triptans. But I do understand the pain and would rather pay the consequences later to take away the pain now. I...
Well I will be going actual counseling by an.LCSW by January. I go to a psychologist right now. He asked me "so, how does it make you feel to think that you will be married to this man in..5 years?"...
Being alone is no fun, but being with a man you've tried, with no success, to love as a husband, isn't so fun either. I go to counseling. He doesn't want to go....
I've been married for almost 4 years (March 15, 2008). No the irony was not lost on us and please don't choose that date. Beware the Ides of March, for real. No, the actual day was wonderful and I...
I'm glad to see you'll give them a try. I'm also on Lamictal as a stabilizer. I am not bipolar, but the medication I'm trying to wean off of makes me feel like I am. I get sudden mood swings as if my...
Did they ever check your hormone levels? There's something wrong with mine, which is why mine developed when they did. But you've had them your whole life.. have they gotten worse,recently? The NSAID...
It does have more to do with sunlight. But depression and anxiety can't always be cured with open windows. Especially with those of us who are dealing with issues that have caused us to become...
I'm sorry you suffer from them. My brother has suffered from them his entire life, as well, and though he had ct scans and mris done as a child, he won't go to the doctor because he's convinced he...
Don't be embarrassed. My dad is what I like to call a "holy roller." Don't get me wrong, I believe in God and his wisdom and guidance. But my dad once told me psychology was a fake profession. "You...
I'm sorry you feel this way. Ending it is not the answer. You may not know what your purpose is now, but we are all here for a reason. I don't know why you feel you're not worth it, but I assure you,...
I'm just a little clueless as to who to go to. I mean, of course my pcp would have to refer me to whomever it would be. But how long should I wait, if this pain continues for more than another 2 days...
That's what I'd read, about the process of elimination. At least 3 months of widespread pain.. hoping its just my body being exhausted from being sick. Like I need anything else? Thanks Jim!...
How did you guys get diagnosed?...
I agree with everyone Court!...
Yeah its actually pretty much all over at this point. If I touch my sides, they feel bruised. If I touch my shoulder, leg, hip, it all feels like one big bruise. But the real pain is mostly from my...
Thanks Maggie. Idk why. If it continues, I'm definitely gonna go to the doctor....
Hi Sam.. I'm fairly new so I don't know you yet. But I feel awful about your unfortunate accident. I will be praying for you and a quick recovery. And remember to use that morphine drip. I sure do...
I know some of you guys here also suffer or are also on the chronic pain forum. I have the feeling that my entire back is bruised. But it isn't. I haven't run in to anything. I haven't been beaten..I...
Cell, I really think you should talk to your doctor about the frequency of which you're taking your triptans. If you're taking them more than 3 times a week, its too much. Far too much. The...
Thanks Michelle! I try to be as humorous as possible. It keeps me from cracking up and makes me feel good to make others laugh! Tty soon!...
Karen, maybe you should take half of what is suggested of the trazadone? I was taken off of lexapro for Viibryd. I sincerely hope it works for you. I think the first few weeks are the hardest because...
Welcome Jim!! I look forward to talking to you!...
Thanks Karen. HUGS BACK!! If nothing else, we have each other to rely on to get us through the stress of the season. I hope we can all remember we have ppl here who truly do care for our well being....
Love you guys! Maggie you're an awesome lady. 1. I am a nice person (at heart, though I may not always feel that way) 2. I will continue posting and reading Healingwell posts this week. It gets me...
I was looking for ya Michelle. I was wondering where you'd gone off to! I feel that way a lot. But then I try to remember who I am and who I want to be. And realize where I fit. Hi again....
Karen, I am also taking Viibryd. I experienced some things differently. I have been having fits of crying from day one. I know others who've taken it and say its a God send. Keep on it, it may just...
I feel like a little girl right now. I feel like stomping my feet and screaming. I don't wanna go to work!!!! Grumble grumble. Necessary evil. Please lend me words of encouragement, friends. Maybe...

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Though not as long as yours, but I think I can understand a tiny bit of what you're feeling. I hate to admit it, but I have cheated on my husband. I mean.. we...
If I don't take my anxiety pill before work, I get nauseated and tend to go off on everyone. I'm glad it helped you. Maybe you can try half for a couple more days, then switch to the whole one on...
Jamie, don't ever feel inept. I know I haven't been here for long but your words of encouragement, no matter how brief, are appreciated. I think new meds might help. Remember to ask about Remeron...
Did you enjoy being with a man more than a woman? I'm not trying to be crude. I'm just trying to understand if you are in fact gay, or bi. Your confusion over that may cause the feeling of not having...
I'm so sorry Jamie. I wish there was something I could do to heal your pain and anger. Do your best and I am here for you as well!...
Thanks Karen! I bet you have made some good friends, you are so sweet!...
OMG! I get so ghetto-fied when I'm mad! lol...
I understand you don't want him in a permanent care facility. You should speak with him about at least being allowed to have access to his medical information (it's just a form he signs that says you...
Hahaa! IBS sucks. But it's nice to be able to tell people and them be like oh yeah, I got issues with my bowels too lol! I do write how I talk, I don't really want to take the time to type out...
Melanie, I finally got to see it!!!!!!!!! I love the LSU colors lol ;) But it is completely awesome and original!...
Aw, Maggie! That sounds great!...
So I am feeling much better. I had "sinusitis.." yeah whatever, it's what they call it when I have something and they don't know exactly what it is. And I have this staph infection in a very unusual...
Do you mind if I email you, Courtney? We can't put our email out in here, but mine is in my profile if you'd like to be penpals? typepals? lol.. If not, it's okay! I don't want you to think I'm a...
Good to hear, Jamie. And Maggie: LMBO!! Gosh, you and my mom should live together too! Your DH and my dad and you and my mom. I promise she said the same thing two days ago. Except she said that dumb...
Stillme, Hang in there!!! We've all either been through it or going through it. I have faith in you. Have faith in you too :) I hope your day gets better!...
