breakthrough meds

[Guest guest]

Steve

The doctor that prescribes for me is a pain management specialist and yes, he

should know better. It seems that over the past few years, at least for me, I

can get most of the medications, just not breakthrough.

Way back in the day, I was on Duragesic 75 mcgs(48hr), Percocet 10mgs, Soma,

Restoril 15mgs, Midrin, Lidoderm, Neurontin 1600 mgs; now on Methadone 90 mgs

(3x's a day), Codiene 30 mgs (4 x's a day for short bowel syndrome) and that is

it. Quite a difference, but first doc was in Florida and now I am in Michigan,

so quite a few changes over the years.

By the way I am back in Michigan having had a grand summer in Yellowstone!! I

got home yesterday late afternoon, so I have stuff I have to do now. I can't

wait for next summer. I've been asked back, but there are other national parks

I would like to see, but next summer is a ways off, so we shall see what happens

then.

Both and I are in great shape. Since I was always busy I found that I

was not suffering as much due to the constant diversion. There were some nights

that were uncomfortable, but boy what a difference a state or 2 make. Well I

have to do laundry and go shopping as I have nothing but cereal.

Sent some articles along that were in my email, which I found interesting, so I

hope you all do as well. Welcome New Peeps!!
