OUCH - Everything hurts AGAIN

[Guest guest]

Hi guys:

Thanks all who answered me. Breakthru pain all weekend, feeling really blue,

angry, then I laugh. Just when I thought I was going into remish - POW - BANG -

Back to pain...

Called pain doc. She says I need something for breakthru pain, cause Fentanyl

patches take HOURS to start working, so she gives me LEVO-DROMORAN?? (anybody

take that?. Not sure what it is, but I am going to try it. Its supposed to

come today. Hate narcs, pills, thats why I opted for patches, but they take a

longgg time to absorb into your body. At least a pill will hit you within 20

mins-1 hour.

Refusing to take prednisone still. There must be a better way than long-term

steriod use.

I was happy the Enbrel was working, I am much better, but I am hurting, I dred

the coming cold winter (its cold a little bit already here in NY).

With the RA its not one spot that hurts, its all over, everywhere I have a bone

and a joint, even my jaw hurts. I want to curse at the disease, but it wont

listen - L0L:)). I know, I know RA is incurable. Even the word Incurable makes

me mad.

Laughing helps though.....whistling/singing " Always look on the bright side of

life " by Monty Python........

the only bone in my body thats not aching is the one I am sitting on!

OKD
