Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi Tee- My name is Keri. Ask your Doc about a Durgensic Patch or Oxycodone, those work for my pain. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I think we all feel your pain and understand what you are going through. Don't give up on finding the right cocktail for you. Keep asking your Docs to try something else if your current drugs aren't working. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take Care. Love & Support, Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Good Morning, Tee. I can't believe you can do the " poke " so well. I do mine on Monday's and Thursday's and yesterday's took me three tries. My poor tummy looks like a dart board! Is that where you do your " poke " ? Can't beat those fat rolls to hang on to! Five minutes, huh? I was thinking of you yesterday as I sat and withdrew the solution into the syringe and looked at all the bubbles. I push some out also and a lot of the fizzy ones spurt out. I sure wish they would make it in pill form. Have you ever wondered how, when you take a bunch of pills together, how each pill knows where to go in your tummy and that the tummy acid doesn't dilute them? I think I shall ask my Rheumatologist next month if it would not be more advantageous to take them one at a time, every half hour or something like that. That's where I think the injections win over the pills. I'm so happy for you getting the SS. And, yes, I don't think people realize how much pain we are in every day. We just keep it to ourselves as who wants to be by a complainer all the time. Sometimes it hurts so much just to get out of a chair that I think that I will gather all my " get out of the chair " times into two a day. ) I don't understand the difference in medication prices either. Enbrel...WOW.....Prednisone is a few dollars. I'm sure it's the research but how long does research go on? We're going to see Harry Potter at the early show today so I must get my morning duties taken care of. My doggies are looking at me with hungry eyes. Take care. xxoo Ca.
