Hi All! (Ling's Checking in....)

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Hope this email finds all of us feeling great, pain-free, or at least, as best as we can be... Just want to let everyone know that although I post very little these days, it does not mean I have disappeared. A big Welcome to the new members too! Just really burdened with work lately, and I am just back from a few days' stay at the hospital again, as usual, pain flare-up. ;-(

Now on the ultimate morphine SR 24 hrs, plus liquid morphine for breakthru pain.... A little discouraged sometimes actually, since this is one of the few meds(or perhaps last med) that I can take now, while being able to balance pain relief and the side effects brought about by the meds. Methodone does not work so well for me now... My pain doc keeps bugging me to try out the cognitive therapies at the same time (the imaginery, progressive relaxation,etc - as if I did not, but they dun help much and I feel my own pain remedies are better, hehe) Nevertheless, I will hang on...

That's all for now and thanks for listening,

Ling

Ling,

Thanks for checking in, I was wondering about you. Have they found any sign of a cause for your headaches? I'm grateful that you find relief in some form, and still have at least one thing that helps. Have they thought of a pain pump for you?

Hugs,
