Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Dear Angie, I have a fantastic pain doc he is a God send. He has me on 80mg of oxycontin four times a day and two percocette every four hours as needed for pain. Needless to say I slept a lot in the beginning until I got use to them. I do have trouble sleeping at night though. Thank you for all your kind thoughts. Lots of Love, Janet Combs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Janet, I had trouble sleeping also until my pain doc put me on the duragesic patches. I don't have the highs and lows as I did with the oxycontin. I feel alot better on the patch also. The oxycontin gave me horrible headaches. It didn't last long on me either. I would take it and then within 2 hours my pain was back. I have had gastric bypass surgery though so I don't absorb things the same way. I think that had something to do with it. I hope you are feeling better today. And I agree with you about pain docs! I think mine is a God send too! I wish I had gone to one 2 years ago. I was hardheaded and didn't want to take anything stronger than darvocet because I thought that I would be an addict. How wrong I was. This group made me understand how different life could be. Take care, Angie in S C " The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way.
