Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Heidi and Sue, thanks for the info. I really thought the duragesic patches were not for intermittent use but I spoke with a lady that goes to my church who has cp. She says she uses the duragesic patches only when she has a bad attack and that they have kept her out of the ER. She says she saves them only for her worst days and I think she said hers were 50 mg and she could use up to three at a time if she needed to. I might have the dose wrong but she told me she takes other pain med on a daily basis (she didn't say what). glad you guys set me straight on the patches though. I think I will nix that idea! I'm having a second celiac plexus block on Monday in hopes that it will help with the pain. The first one seemed to make a little bit of a difference for a few days, so I'm willing to give it a try again. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patches are measured in MCG (micrograms) NOT MGS (milligrams). Just an FYI. > > I'm having a second celiac plexus block on Monday in hopes that it will help > with the pain.
