Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi Jan! I empathize with you completely! I cannot seem to get out of a pain flare. Last night, I had the heating pad on high on my knees then moved it to ankle area. I take the Ultram ER which stays in your system 24 hours so its working better for me than the Tramadol did. I took one of those, but was a little nervous doing it. Each night before bed, I take my second dose of Plaquenil, my second dose of Sulfasalazine, my Flexeril, my atenolol, and my Lunesta. I was worried about combining a pain med in that close to my sleeping med, but I had to do it! I woke up just a little stiff. Took my sheltie down the block for a very slow walk and now its back..so I will be resting on the chaise again today..I hope your flare passes soon too! I just keep telling myself " pain is weakness leaving the body " and " this too shall pass " Jan S <sweetprairie1@...> wrote: Good Morning, I am Jan S with fibro and osteo arthritis. I am hurting so very badly today. My feet and legs are worse and I feel like I have fallen a whole flight of steps. There is not one spot on me neither bone, muscle or connective tissue that is not screaming. I am on tramadol and lyrica, celebrex and cymbalta. It is only taking the edge off. I have made one batch of yeast dough and am doing laundry. I feel like screaming, but what will that accomplish. Thanks for listening! Jan S NEW E-MAIL ADDY sweetprairie1@...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Too bad you are in a bad flare now, too. I really can understand about your pain since I have fibro and OA also. My pain meds are tramadol, Darvocet N, and Neurontin which don't help my pain much either. Hope you feel better soon and can rest for awhile. hugs, Debbie L > > Good Morning, > I am Jan S with fibro and osteo arthritis. I am hurting so very badly > today.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I too am sorry for your pain. I am on Neurontin and Celebrex. Still trying to find the meds. The Neurontin seemed to work the first week, and for some reason they have stopped. If I stop the Celebrex I get to stiff to move. Sorry, I got off on my own pain when I really just wanted to say, I hope you get to feel better. And yeast, you make your own bread...I love to cook, its my passion. Not much of a baker but love to grill !! I wish all of you a pain free day ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
