Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 I'm with you ... or should I say I've been there...I'm not very good at handling pain, and tend to get a little carried away with my medications, and after running out a couple of times, I now have my husband help me with it. We are currently running a little test to see if it's time to increase again. I usually only use too much, when my pain gets worse. If that is the case, I need to be calling the doctor right away, and not trying to medicate myself. So, after this little experiment, I might be re-visiting my pain doctor. I'm not sure what you mean by, ....Drs. appt @ 12:30 pst, I hope it means you have an appointment soon. I have a heating pad I never leave home without that helps with the pain. I also soak in a hot tub. I know it sounds trite when you have the kind of pain we get from cp, but also it helps to not focus so much on the pain, try guided imagery, relaxation techniques, anything you know to relax. Also resting and/or sleeping helps the time go by faster! Hang in there...hope you get some relief soon!
