Its Mon p.m. and just reading your posts. Somebody threw a wrench in my life(or whatever it is normal people say!) and 'my withdrawal took a backseat' this last week. I'm not yet fully recovered from the devastation.
Holly ... I too d.c.'d all meds w/ the aid of a very good detox unit, but when I went to classes and had to hold my head still for 'like an hour' I'd get terrible pain breakthrough and had to get back on the meds. I don't have a pain doc. I've seen about five of them and they just send me back to my PCP for meds. My PCP knows 'NAUGHT' about withdrawal symptom treatment. I tried to call his office a bit ago, but he won't talk to me; have to go in.
I'm having another IRL issue occurring which is causing havoc and making concentrating on caring for myself impossible.
Thanks much for sharing Holly. No surgery? I have wished for surgery, but no doc has yet said I'm a candidate. (I've been told they're waiting for it to get worse.) I don't get it Holly ... how ... RU w/ someone that can help you? I'm all for it, whatever it is you do. I'm alone, and considering what I've been through, want to remain that way for quite a while. I'd appreciate it if you'd babble me when have time. (Click on my name above)
Scott, I thought about tapering down to Darvocet too; no more doc appt way across town just to p/u written scrip, plus my body was functioning much better back when on it. Pain got worse at some point 3-4yrs back and that's when I started the oxycodone.
Re: Lyrica ... I've got 75s and 25s to 'play with' from a URO-GYN (Yeah...really; she can't do surgery until I have better colon health.) and think I'll double the 75mg tonight. I felt 'a smidge of a good mental tweak' recently; thought it might be due to the Lyrica. Initally took 75 h.s., last eve 100 h.s., but think try 150 h.s. tonight. There are five or more refills on both bottles.
URO-GYN is a very popular field of medicine right now since many baby booming women had hysterectomies or delivered large babies vaginally, and now 'need to be repaired'. I 'was repaired' once, but it failed. Anyway, she's a good doc that looks at all aspects of your health and comes up with better ideas.
I DON'T HAVE A PCP OR PAIN MANAGEMENT DOC TO TRULY CARE HOW I FEEL OR WHAT I DO ABOUT IT.
(Just wanted to throw that in here; get more sympathy or somethin' ... :{ poorme }:
Pls babble me further, if time, Holly.
tyvmuch, cf
