Frustrated

[Guest guest]

Fr.Dave, Please tell me what Difclo is? My Rhuemy is tellin me the next step

in pain meds is an addition of morphine on top of everything else. I do not

like the sound of that! There has been talk between my doc's & myself about

going on disability( for about 6 months now ) but I am not ready to stop

working. I enjoy what I do and I have become very limited on what I can do

physically. My employer has been wonderful about working with me on this issue.

I'm

really worried and somewhat afraid about the prospect of having to depend on

stronger pain meds just to keep me going.Not to mention being limited by

disability income. I cant do my job if my mind is so clouded by drugs that I

cant

think straight. I'm becoming even more frustrated that my body will not

co-operate with my mind. The AS has now started attacking my neck as well.PsA

is

not letting up either, lately. I really don't know what to do or which way to

turn right now. I thought this would get better before now but it seems that

it's not. Any input from someone that's gone down this particular road

already. HELP!!!????? Marty
