As all of you are aware, I have had negligible results with the

Fentanyl patch and have only had relief at about a level of 8 since a

year ago last August. After going to Vegas on a short holiday, this

was made more clear to me that this was just not working as it should

and put me into a spiral of depression and greater pain as I was

recovering from the trip.

Well, my doctor had to be Mr. Smarty Pants and tell me that maybe I

don't fit the model for those who can use narcotics for pain relief

and offered no other alternative. Well, this led me to consider

greatly the use of the organization " Final Exit " so that I could end

my life as there was certainly to be no real quality of life if such

were the case.

He countered my argument that we were only chasing the " upper end " of

my pain in our course of pain management and that, were I to get a

greater dose, then I would be able to reach a level of pain that

would be lower, maybe a 5 or so (which I felt that I could live

with). Well, we were BOTH wrong. He was completely wrong and I was

wrong because my pain level is about a 2 or so. WOO HOO!! I am

happier than a hippo in cat's pajamas (especially one that's been on

one hell of a diet, LOL).

I feel that I can now look forward to a better life and will be able

to get a few things done around here that i have wanted to do. I

still do not get around too well due to the vertigo and overall

weakness but I can live with that.

Finally some relief after over 10 years!!!!!!!

Anyse,

This is fantastic news, and must be such a relief for you. What

dosage did you go to that's working so well? Being able to get on

with life and resume some sort of a " normal " existence makes such a

difference, both physically and mentally. I'm so happy for you.

With love, hope and prayers,
