BREAKTHROUGH PAIN

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I hope this letter finds all doing well (as can be expected).!!! I just

wanted to drop a few lines to convey my conversation with my new chronic

pain Doctor. I was feeling very apprehensive as this was the first visit with

my new Doctor.I have also been more depressed than ever lately to the point

of how I was going to plan my death!! Although Oxycontin had greatly enhanced

my quality of life over the last two years, I've been having alot of

breakthrough pain and simply did not want to start all over on a new Doctor

and meds!!!!!!!!

I was greatly relieved to find that the " new " Doctor actually was the head of

the pain mgt. clinic That I go to 8 years prior to myself becoming a

patient.( Ive been going for two years).I truly believe God knew my soul was

crying and desperately needed some new encouragement.

Here is what my new Doctor had to say:

Instead of putting me on a new pain med for breakthrough pain she increased

my daily Oxycontin dosage on a permanet basis (for now). Heres is why the

way she explained it to me.. If I were to have breakthrough pain - take a new

pill to relieve it.....pain/pill...pain/pill..pain/pill, basic animal

instinct deep in our brains could eventually tell our body pill/pill. I dont

think I really did her explaination justice however this is what she

meant!!!>>>>>> If she provides my body with adequate and continual pain

relief even if that means high doses more frequently I will be more healthy

,physically,mentally and spirtually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!

TODAY FEELS ALOT BRIGHTER THAN YESTERDAY!!!!
