Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I WISH I COULD TELL U THAT THERE IS A CURE, BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE ISN'T, THOUGH I KNOW OF LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT THING TO GIVE THEM THE FEELING THEY DON'T EVEN REALLY GET BOTHERED WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE R/A I HAVE FIBRO AND SOME OTHER TYPE OF ARTRITIS A RARE TYPE. BUT I KNOW I HAVE BECOME DEPENDENT WHICH IS DIFFERENT THEN ADDICTED TO MY VICODIN WHICH IS HYDROCODONE, OXCYCODONE IS PERCOCET, A STRONGER NARCOTIC. BUT AT THIS POINT AS LONG AS I HAVE LIVED DAILY WITH PAIN AND HAD BEEN ABLE TO STRUGGLE THROUGH I NO LONGER CAN, AND IF I DID NOT TAKE PAIN MEDS THERE WOULD BE MANY MORE DAYS I COULD NOT GET OUT OF BED, AND MAKE IT THROUGH A DAY, AS IT IS I AM NOW PRETTY TIED TO SITTING IN A TUB, ON COVERED IN ICE PACKS, AND HEATING PAD AROUND THE CLOCK, AND FORGET THE 15MINS ON 15MINS OFF. I DO WHAT I HAVE TO NOW TO STOP ME FROM GOING CRAZY. I HAVE HAD MY SPELLS WHERE I JUST BREAK DOWN, THROUGH A FIT FOR NO REASON EXCEPT I AM JUST ON OVERLOAD ON NO PAIN LET UP THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN THE MEDS, I CAN'T EVEN VACUMN ONE ROOM STEADY OR I PAY DEARLY FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER. SO I SAY WHAT THE HECK IF WE BECOME DEPENDENT ON THE PAIN MED. BETTER THEN THOUGHTS OF JUMPING FROM THE CLOSEST ROOF TOP, HURT THE FIRST PERSON WHO LOOKS AT U FUNNY, OR JUST STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SCREAMING AT THE WHOLE WORLD AND GETTING LOCKED UP..... HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR CONCERNS. SHARON Petry <mapetry0177@...> wrote: I am new to this and am on prednisone and salphasalasine. My symptoms have improved alot but still have some trouble.
