Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 brandy i found that when you take a narcotic for pain, when the pain goes away, you don't need the narcotic anymore it happened to me with the herniated disk, i was worried about the codiene being addictive, but after the surgery, i didn't need it anymore Pink Joyce (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: Re: A Message for To: Breathe-Support Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 4:32 PM Jane, Thank you! Before being diagnosed with IPF I always tried not to complain about how badly I felt or how much pain I was in. I was afraid of being labeled a hypocondriac. I had even started to think it was all in my head. In some ways finally getting a diagnosis was very freeing. I don't feel like I need to hide my pain or fear anymore. I still get the fevers you mentioned. They usually happen later in the day. I take medicine for the allergies. I still break out in hives and itch with some unknown allergies. As for the depression: I don't think I would still be here if I hadn't got help. I had hit rock bottom emotionally and physically. I started with counseling and later asked for medication to help. I've been on Cymbalta since. It's been a great help because it deals with depression and pain too. I can only imagine how the past few weeks could have been had I not been taking Cymbalta. It all has become a way of life for me but sometimes, as I'm sure you know, I just want a break from it all.Thanks again, 33 FLIPF dx 1/06>> > ,> > I am so sorry that you are having too much pain!> > Years ago when I was young (age 25) doctors thought that I had an> autoimmune disease.
