Re: Re: [FSG DEBRA I believe in it-- To Sharon

[Guest guest]

No. I am not going off my pain medication. I just wish it would help more than

it does. I really don't want to go to a more potent narcotic. I just wish I

had an answer. The never ending exhaustion on top of the pain is just too much

some days. It is unbelievable what we can go through that others cannot

possibly imagine. I have aged 10 years in the last 4 years. I guess it is the

constant tired feeling, pushing myself to go on, and the pain.

love and hugs,

P.S.--- I reread my post. I left out the 100mg of Tramadol I took along with

the hydrocodone, aleve, and aspirin and the muscle relaxer.

Just want to say I did almost the same, only no naproxen, goes right

to an ulcer for me, no asprin either, just did the oxcycodone last 15mg now out,

a muscle relaxer, and a diazapam, had the icy hot all over my legs and arms and

boy never again had me freezing and in no big relief. burnt my legs actually in

a.m. I feel wih you, it get;s so much and you just need to try and get some

relief. I know as you this should not be done always but sometimes it is just to

much and I take some extra, not like I am doing any overdose amt, and the

strentgh needs to be upped or they offered me a stronger pill anyway. I wish now

I could lay down and get my little sleep I get without waking in enormous pain

on my right lower side! and I don't even lay on that side, and once it starts no

stopping it the only way to back it off is to completly sit up. Anyway hope you

lighter days,and Debra have you done a second thought on stopping the pain med

now, as I believe we need them? Take

care Sharon

constant all over body pain today. It was bad. I finally got tired of it and

took a mixture of meds and it did work.... but it is too much I am sure.

Ok.... I took a total of 15mg of Hydrocodone, 440 mg of Naproxen, 650mg of

Aspirin, and a Robaxin muscle relaxer. ALL at once. It did it for a while. I was

able to move without pain finally, participate in life with my kids a little bit

instead of laying on the couch like a pile of lifeless matter, and I even bathed

my little boy and cleaned to kid's bathroom. I cleaned the toilet, the tub, the

sink, the counter and the floor and the mirror. That was alot for me.

Just saying, it seems it gets harder and harder to put symptoms at bay. I could

have chosen to not take all those meds and just lay on the couch. But just for

today, I took that amount because that is what it took to get me out of pain. I

took some tramadol last night and a couple of flexerils because I did not want

to take any more hydrocodone after work. I also put some icy hot all over my

legs, arms and neck and upper back after my mineral bath last night. I woke up

feeling just as crappy as I did before I went to bed. Well, so be it. I guess if

I have to concoct some formula of pills once in a while to feel half way

functional, then I will. I know that any one of those meds alone would not have

done a thing for me. But together, I got some results.

It is also not good to take naproxen and aspirin together as they are both anti

inflamatory drugs and also are anti platelet drugs can make you bleed. But, I

don't do that every day.

Well, Thanks for listening,

hugs,

Debra V.
