Pain

I know exactly how you feel on that.  I am tired of having to take pain meds.  Good luck with the new gyn.  

Thank you much!  It's exhausting, isn't it?

It is exhausting.  Hang in there hun - we're pulling for you.

DAC - youhavn't said much except for having the flu - Good luck with the new doc - we both are seeing new people soon -

It will go away.  Are you walking or have a mild evercise routine - I am not one to talk lately - but know that may help me.

The 800mgs are for OB problem?  Watch your stomach ... it is rough on it with those doses ...

What is going on with Venora ---- I'm concerned.

Yes, ma'am, I am. ;-)  Make sure I take them with plenty of food and if they start to bother me at all I'll be back on the Prilosec.

Well my Diagnose is Ankylosing Spondylitis, after all this time I now know whats wrong I guess. He prescribed me Enbrel, Pharmacy said it is 1,400 WOW! It is injection to slow down my Immune system, now looking into my insurance as they have a mail program where I can get meds alot cheaper, so I hope this is on there list. I am in so much pain it is crazy and I think everyone around me thinks I am nuts but they just can't feel what I do, also I am getting the SI Injection done 4-18 if not sooner. Thanks for the support and prayers.

The gym will help. It works for me, you'll feel better once you're loosened up. Start slow, walking is fine, you don't have to bench press anytime soon.
Best Wishes,

I am new here and I wanted to tell ya'll about a breakthrough pain medicine. Its called Suboxone. It does not produce euphoria and is not abuseable.  The side effects are minimal like drowsiness and of course with any narcotic, constipation. I have been on it for 2 years now and I am a recovering alcohloic and drug addict. I have bad back problems and when I started taking it I could not really feel the pain anymore. Its a miracle drug! It is prescribed origionally for opiate abusers to stop withdrawl syndrome and cravings but I have found that it stops pain incredibly as well. I do not know if the FDA has approved it for pain yet but if your hurting and fear possible addiction and side effects of normal pain pills like Hydrocodone or Oxycodone this drug is a great alternative. In order to get it prescribed though you have to go to Dr.s that have been certified to prescribe it. It is still brand new and is being researched so it is not only a state controlled substance but also a federally controlled substance as well. Why it is I honestly don't know because it does not even produce a high like you would get from Vicodin. Damn I sound like a salesman huh?lol. If you have any questions you can contact me at ***@****.
