Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 I wish you were in the bay area girl. I have a great rheumy here who is so sympathetic to pain issues, in fact he gives me about 200 vicodin every two weeks. No I do not even take that many, but I am stocking them up because I fear when I go to Idaho I will never find a Dr who will give me these. I take something called klonopin for sleep, I think it is still very addicting, but I have gone off them before and the withdrawl isn't too terrible, so it might be safer than the soma. It is a bezo though, so they do have some addictive qualities. I don't understand these Dr's that are so uptight about giveing pain meds to the people who realy need them when there are people who don't need them that they just hand them out too. My sisters ex husband dies of a drug overdose 2 days ago, he was on vicodin, soma, and zoloft. He had no pain issues, yet he had all those drugs given to him legally. It just makes no sense does it? Well, good luck to you. I hope you can find a rheumy who cares and is sympathetic to your issues. I know what you mean about the vicodin, they work so well for me also I try to only take 2 or 3 a day max, but they help tremendously with my brain fog and pain, so I think the brain fog is a by product of the chronic pain in my case, since when I have no pain, I have little or no brain fog. Thanks, good luck, carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
