Hi. it's me again. I have a question. I do like my doctor but at times he can be hard to get across to and considering the ones we have, he is one of the best.
I thought I could get off the ms contin I am on but realize, even with it, I am in pain. I had told you that I was taking ultram with it for awhile and then he cut me off of that and said they are too strong to be combined together.
Bottom line, I hate the idea of taking meds as it is, but if I am miserable, it doesn't make sense to do nothing. I envy the people who can deal with pain.
I don't want to wait to get off the mscontin to try something else. If the ms contin isn't always helping isn't that a sign for a change? I can't stand the thought of another detox, isn't there a way to ease off or combine (which I din't really want to do)? I know someone here just switched. My question is can you switch without out detoxing?
I just want relief. My husband is sick and he had to rub my legs yesterday b/c they felt so sore.
Any ideas? I feel foolish. I did want to get off but I can see, even taking the amount prescribed, I am not always comfortable. I'm not terrible but I would hope for more. I see people getting break-through pills all the time. I am not looking for more pills, just relief.
Thanks.
