my doc to increase it. What mg are you on? but without it I would be a

bigger mess than I already am. ~HUGS~~

I think that my GP while waiting for the rheumatologist appt was

hoping I COULD take hydrocodone, but I'm highly allergic to it. So

they gave me robaxin and darvocet, I usually try to take the darvocet

at night or in the late afternoon and then before bedtime only. I

also tried the salon pas that someone mentioned in a previous post

and liked the effect. I am counting the days til the 17th, even

though I may STILL not get a dx on that particular day!

I was thinking that the hydrocodone wasn't working until back in Aug. the

dr. took me off of it and put me on ultram, then I learned that it had been

working better than I thought. I would give almost anything to be back on it.

The dr. has me on 300 mg. of ultram and it is like taking baby aspirin!

Love and gentle hugs,
