Re: Pain and narcotics....To Tigger

[Guest guest]

My goodness. My heart is with you. I want to cry for you. I just don't

understand their problem. They surely know you have this horrible pain. What

the hell? You could not help that situation with the Fentanyl. (I remember

what you told us before). It was not your fault that the medication built up in

your system. And I don't think it should mattter that you use to drink

alot..... you deserve pain medication. Period. It is BS to make someone pay

with pain just for some stuff in the past..(if that is what they are doing).

How inhumane. And your brother turning on you is nothing good to add to the

mix.

So sorry Tigger,

love ya,

Oh Tigger,

I am so very sorry. Honey, have you tried other doctors??? Damn I would just

keep going till I found one that would give me some pain relief. That is one

thing that doctors are really ignorant about and that is pain management. It

makes me so angry..what kind of a doctor would let you suffer when he could give

you some relief in the form of a little pill. He is an a$$hole in my opinion.

Maybe it would help if you kicked his a$$. I wish there was something I could do

for you. Do you have sleeping pills??? You are probably thrashing around because

of the pain! I am disgusted. Good luck and let us know.

Pain and narcotics.... hydrocodone/oxycontin ect..

Ok, I think that there may come a time with most of us that we have to take

narcotics for pain. I have been on hydrocodone now for about a year and

half. No, it does not do what it use to for the pain. BUT.... when I skip a

dose for too long, my body really tells me with fibro pain. The pain is

unbelievably worse. So, on that take, I guess it is helping me still.

I have the same fear expressed here by some. yeah, what happens when I am on

narcotic meds and have to keep stepping up the ladder to oxy or methadone?

Well, I fear that it will eventually quit working too. Then What? Or if I go

somewhere and don't have the hydrocodone or my doc discontinues it, then

what kind of withdrawals will I go through?

It is like being between a rock and a hard place.

BUT.... I do not think anyone should have to live with this crap without

proper pain control even if it means strong narcotics. I would not function

without it. Not because I am an addict, but because the fibro will rear his

ugly head 10 fold.

Do what you have to though. Do not suffer when there are medications that

were made for people IN PAIN. I know of all the bad rap about this. The

street pushers and people who use this medicine for a " high " . If it were not

for dumba$$es like that, we might not be looked at with such stigma. But we

take it for REAL PAIN. So, let it be so.

love and hugs,
