Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi Shirley Personally I am taking pain meds now...just started taking Oxycontin 10mg...I know its a strong med but I unfortunately have alot of pain. It sounds like you must too! I've always found it difficult to ask my doctor for meds, but I got over that after suffering without them. I do feel guilty often, especially when someone who is uninformed makes a judgement about me because of the meds I am on. but thats my issue not yours! The only thing I can say is that there are all different types of pain meds from Tylenol to anti-inflammatories like Vioxx and Bextra to narcotics like Vicodin and stuff like I am taking. It comes down to the severity of your pain, your tolerance for meds and your specific medical problems and sensitivities (some people with liver and kidney probs shoul;dnt take certain meds) Anyway, please dont be afraid to ask for what you need. You have a legitimate illness (plural for you), which can cause all kinds of pain. I hope this helps Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
