No, I lost weight because of ALL the meds I am on and because of the IBD and GERD, plus then my mother passed away and I have been very depressed since, but mostly because of my stomach problems and the meds. Methotrexate was the big one to take my appetite away. I just kept dropping everyday without trying. I had no appetite and everything I ate gave me pain and loose stools. I worried about it because I thought I had Lyphoma but my docotrs didn't seem concern and they just applauded me for losing the weight. Now I still have stomach problems but I have my appetite back but I'm scared to eat because it still causes me pain when I put something in my stomach. Good to hear of your weight loss, congrads to you. I still want to get to 150 so I eat very small portions.

just wanted to let you know that i appreciated your reply back in April. I am a little slow to reply i know....but i have been off of the painpills since April 23 exept for a quarter of a suboxone i had leftover that the psych doc gave me to stop withdrawels..took suboxone for 9 days in april. Your reply was appreciated and i feel way better now but i have a long way to go with the mental stuff ...anxiety depression etc. I am sorry for your very real pain problems and hope you can find a functional answer to dealing with them...God bless and stay strong

Just a quick note. Good to hear from u. Our hope is to leave for FL the end of November. We still don't have the house on the market. We are still preparing it for sale! If it doesn't sell we will still go to FL for the winter but would rent something and return to WI in the late spring.....until the house does sell.
Sorry you are having problems with the patch, Have you talked to Mollyrae? She has great info on the Patch, Hope you aer doing better.
Blessings,
Tuck

I am not still using the patch I had a very bad reaction after using it for 7 months. I went from 50 to 75 mcg every 72 hours then 75 mcg every 48 hours and I still felt horrible. Withdrawl every couple of days and very little pain relief at the end at all. It turns out my body was absorbing the medicine rapidly in the end for some reason so I'd get all the meds on the first day then go through like mini withdrawl the next day and by the time the 48 hours was iup and I could ues another patch I was playing catch up, It was horrible. But trust me when I tell you I am ALWAYS the exception to the rule . Anyway, as long as it is working for you , I say go for it. . Hopefully they will work amazing for you for a long long time, Take Care

Just a quick note to say hi,
I understand completly. There is one member here who misreads post and causes problems on a regular basis so I know exactly what you mean.
I just think there are MUCH better options than this and MUCH safer too.
Thanks for the post, it was great!

Just a quick note to say hi! Hi Nick has been banned again. He was sticking up for himself and got the boot. I'm really discouraged with Mh at the moment.

It sounds like you need to go up on the patch/ However beginning at a smaller dose will at least allow you system to adjust to the fentanyl. Hang in there and hope you are soon feeling much better.Tuck

Hope you are feeling better and that you are working on a good solution for pain control!

You deserve a big gentle bear hug! You should never feel bad about not sending me a PM or responding to one that I might send you. You have a huge struggle in your life right now and that's where you concentration and attention needs to be. When you feel up to it, when you can find time than please let me know how you are doing. Be well my friend and catch me when you can. ((HUGS)) Tuck

Just a quick note to say hi! Oh the blah stage..but I'm being brave and going on my first date in over a year! I think that has gotten me out of the blah stage for a minute. I hear that in the end that opiates seem to make pain get even worse because your brain stops making its own endorphins to fight pain. So at first pain is going to be an issue, but you just find ways to deal with it naturally. My friend swears by her 800mg motrin, she thinks it works better than anything else she's been on. then of course there is yoga and stretching and not so fun things like taking a pill. I don't have to deal with cronic pain, just the stuff in my head...one day at a time..can't imagine dealing with pain on top of being an addict.. you rock!
