Hi Chrissie,

I'm glad you're feeling better than you were before Christmas. You

couldn't think of going back to work then, could you? You'll have to

take it easy. I know exactly what you mean about pain being so

distracting when you're trying to concentrate on your job. I don't

know about pain meds. What have you taken in the past? I always take

codeine, in different strengths depending on the pain. However, over

the last couple of years (before I had this good spell which goes

back now to mid-October), it wasn't enough to deal with the pain at

its worse. I had always taken 2 x 8mgs codeine/500mgs paracetamol.

That simply stopped dealing with the worst pain although still fine

for mild attacks. The GP prescribed 30mgs codeine/500mgs paracetamol

when I had very bad pain in September. I was really only supposed to

take one if I would be driving. It did help more, of course, but not

enough. On one occasion I took two, ie 60mgs codeine. I felt as

though I'd been hit over the head with a large mallet. I wouldn't

have wanted to drive. Since then I haven't had bad pain, for some

unknown reason.

I'm sure you must know a lot more than I do about pain killers and I

hope you find something satisfactory. Are you worrying about going

back to work? I can see that you want to. That's exactly how I feel.

I dread the pain stopping me working as well as the pain itself of

course.

Take care. Good luck with the pain meds.

Fliss
