Guest guest Posted April 27, 1999 Report Share Posted April 27, 1999 Hi All, My doc has been relatively good about giving me pain meds. She has prescribed Lorcet and Tylenol 4s. However, she has stated that I probably shouldn't take the Lorcet since it will cut down on the endorphins in my brain. The T4s do work but I am not able to function on them so I only take them at night. I have fibro and the Lorcet also helps with the fibro fog. I would like to take them more but since she only gives me 30 for a two week period I have to keep them to two a day. I guess what I'm asking is will their effectiveness wear off if I keep taking them and so what if my brain keeps making less endorphins. By the way, I'm not sure if I'm using the right word. <G> Fibro fog you know. It doesn't feel to me like my brain is making any of that stuff anyway. It appears to me that I have a similar problem to Ray since my doc is also a very close friend (small area) but she only focuses on what SHE thinks is important not what I'm trying to tell her. Any suggestions? Also, I'm really not able to exercise very much since it's my lower back, knees and feet that bother me the most. Swimming is not an option cuz I'd have to drive an hour to a pool. By that time I would be too tired to even change into a suit. <G> Well, I hope this makes sense. Think I'll take a lorcet now. <grin> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
