I'm sorry for the confusion, I was trying to get a quick answer and I didn't explain very well. The bottom line is that I guess it's way too hard and time consuming to really give you my whole story....
The short story of all of this is that I've had horrific experiences w/ doctors for the past 4-5 years trying to figure out what was going on w/ me. I finally found a GP who listened and tried to...
A few things have seemingly helped me with talking to my doctors about things like this. -keep a detailed pain journal -include how your medication helps in the journal -describe how your pain...
I totally understand..... I'm 31 and was/sorta am a very active person. Before all of this fibro stuff I played soccer, ran, hiked, and did anything else that got me moving. I was struggling with...
I've had progressively worsening neck pain which my GP has prescribed a bunch of medications for. I've tried mobic, ultram, prednisone, clonazepam, norco, percocet, ms contin, and now hydromorphone....
So I just got out of oral surgery earlier today, around 1pm. I have been on 2 10mg norco's for the past 2 months and just started taking 2 30mg ms contins a day and then the norcos for breakthrough...
For relief I have tried hot compress, cold compress, massage, chiro, massage therapy, all kinds of supplements(fish oil, magnesium/cal/zinc, etc), daily stretches, hot baths, I exercise...
I am prescribed norco 10/325 and MS contin 30mg for a bunch of things going on right now, pain related obviously. It wasn't until just recently(past friday) that I was put on the MS contin. I was put...
First of all, I'm not getting scripts from both docs. Only from my GP. I don't think it's appropriate for me to ask both doctors for the same type of medication. Anyways, scheduled my surgery for...
Thanks for the advice. I guess I just worry more about the stigma than my rights sometimes. I take extended release forms of other psychiatric drugs, therefore I guess I just prefer the idea of...
So I have some nasty dental stuff going on as well as an undiagnosed autoimmune condition my GP believes may be Rheumatoid or Lupus. He referred me to see a Rheumy, which I'm seeing this week, and...
So my pain is weird. I keep a detailed medical journal and take 2 10/325 norcos as needed and 2 2.5/325 percocet at night. Somedays I can go without taking any pain meds for 8-10 hours and I'm fine....
I completely understand. I have some bad dental stuff going on right now and found out I have an autoimmune condition. Both of which cause horrible pain some days. My tooth is cracked, pulp exposed,...
I tried Kratom once when I had to wait for 4 days for my doc to call in a refill on my pain med(norco) and it kind of helped. It's a legal herb in most states in the U.S. and I've also heard Kava can...
I finally got a hold of him after calling at opening on Monday, then again at 5pm and was told he was gonna call me back very soon, didn't call me back, I had him paged at 9pm, called back 30 mins...
thanks for your response. And I try not to blame the doctors, I guess it's just frustration because I'm not trying to get high. I'm trying to maintain a normal lifestyle so I can do my homework, or...
Sorry for the rant but I'm fairly new to actually getting treated for my undiagnosed autoimmune disease and a horrible dental thing I have going on. Though, in my short time dealing with dentists and...
So I recently switched to a new GP, family friend whom I don't know why I didn't see in the first place, and the short of it is that he has me on prednisone and hydrocodone. I told him on my last...
Thanks randy, actually my GP was apprehensive to doing so but prescribed it after the high rheumatoid factor on my bloodtest, previous medical information, and having horrible neck and body wide...
First off, thanks so much to all of you who care enough to take time out of your day to give me advice. So, I've got health insurance just not dental. And to answer the questions above...... yes my...
So I'm 31 and have been going through one of the toughest times in my life so far. I've been suffering from body wide pain that's affected my schoolwork and my friendships. Luckily, I have my...
I'm a new member but have been diagnosed with AS about 6 months ago. I'm not totally sure if I believe that's what it really is that's bothering me but I was given Meloxicam, which didn't really do...
So I'm a 30 year old male. I play soccer 2 nights a week, work out regularly, take vitamins/supplements, eat healthy, don't drink, don't smoke, and I have been suffering with chronic pain for a few...
