Heidi's ....will it ever end?

[Guest guest]

Dear Heidi my heart & prayers go out to you......I can't believe that

they can't give you something to kill your pain.....what are u

taking? I've been complaining a lot lately of my increased pain &

this never ending coldness......which all doctors say is not from fat

malabsorption, but then from what? It's so bad I've taken to warming

myself in the oven after I've used it or hot water on my hands, hot

baths, not because I'm dirty, but because I'm cold!!!! Do you know

of anybody in this group that has had the fat malabsorption for over

20 years now? I would love to talk to them re what to do, the

essential fatty acid replacements just don't help! The hydrododone

used to make me warmer when it first gets in the body, but now it

does nothing for pain or warmth....I guess my body has become immune

to it, & I need to ask for something stronger when I see my

Internist......had to dump my other M.d......she had a problem with

my pain meds. Dah.....like we want to be on all this stuff! I did

recently read a good book that I would rec. to all my fellow

sufferers: The Truth About Chronic Pain, by Arthur Rosenfeld.....real

interesting from patients & doctors perspectives, but what they all

agree on, is there is never a reason why someone should suffer from

pain!! So hang in there Heidi, one day at a time & know we are all

rooting for you to get relief soon. LOL,
