Guest guest Posted April 22, 2000 Report Share Posted April 22, 2000 a, I appreciated you point of view regarding pain meds. Right now I am taking one that can be addicting and I have been concerned and not taking it as much as I could. Your point puts things in a new perspective. I will be seeing the doctor on Tuesday - we are going to have to do something with the pain. My jaw and shoulder are really causing me a lot of pain and this makes it hard to sleep. I am also asking him to evaluate me for Fibromaliga. When I first went to him, that is what my regular doctor thought I had. then I was diagnosed with Ra. I suspect I have both, along with sojourns. With everything that I'm dealing with and then all of my daughters medical problems, I'm getting to be a regular walking medical book!! My sister, who is a nurse, can't believe all of the things I know. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Hi Everyone: I was diagnosed a few months ago and am on the usual meds: Prednisone (5 mg), Methotrexate, Plaquenil and Neoral (cyclosporine). I take Darvocet everyday, but I still have terrific pain. I've tried Vicodin and Ultram, both of which don't really help the pain, but do put me to sleep. Has anyone tried anything else they can recommend? Thanks gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
