Re: Long painfull day followed by long painfull sleepless night..

January 28, 2008

I am sorry you had such a rough time yesterday. I couldn't sleep either was up

and down all nite. I am going through a flare right now so I understand the

pain. I try and think of other things and I think God had this planned with my

daughter getting married and a new grandbaby on the way. Neither is giving me

much time to be in pain. And I have to be strong for my family and not let them

down. These events are once in a life time events. I know I am going to pay in

painful days and nites but I think it may be worth it. If I miss any of it I

would be devasted to no end so I am deciding to bite the bullet till all settles

down again. Everything happens for a reason. But sometimes you wonder, huh?

Why me,and why now? Try and get some rest today and I hope you fell better as

the day goes by.

50I went to Church yesterday and prior to going I took 150mg. Lyrica, 750mg.

Robaxin and 15mg. Hydrocodone and within and hour of simply sitting I was in

severe pain so I went out to my truck and took 10 more mg. Hydro. and did get

some relief. That's alota Hydrocodone but I NEVER felt HIGH

nor did I get nausiated so it's more than obvious that the 5mgs. twice a day is

another cruel joke to play on someone in moderate to severe irritractable pain

to say the least. Later that night I took 300mg. Lyrica. 750mg. Robaxinn and

3mg. Lunesta @ betime and woke up 2-1/2 hours in pain @2:30AM

and then I took 4mg.Klonopin another 750mg. Robaxin, 3 benadryl and some

melatonin only to wake up @ 5:00AM in pain. So much for the trigger point

injections. Now I'm willing to pay cash to a Dr. that doesn't accept my

insurance hoping to get a pain contract and apprpriate RX to deal w/my PAIN.

It just isn't fair to have been DXed for so long and still not have found or

recieved the care I truely need. This is the life of a typical FM sufferer is it

not?

The light chores I did preceding Suday did me in. This isn't a life it is mere

existence!!!

, so sorry to hear about the pain. I know you had hopes when you finally

found a doc that would prescribe the hydrocodone. I just don't think they get

it. The dose you are on MIGHT help a toothache. They just do not understand

the magnitude of pain we are in.

They need to learn to rate this kind of pain. It seems that even the people

who know fibro is real still tend to think it is some " minor inconvenience "

instead of the life changing monster it is.

love ya,
