Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi Caitlin - I'm glad to hear that you've found an empathetic doctor - I've come to believe they're truly rare and real gems when we can find them - and I hope and pray this surgery will give you the relief you need and deserve.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I know what it is like to have uncaring doctors that don't have a clue what we actually go through day to day. I empathize with you there. I just wanted to wish you well in your upcoming surgery and I truly hope that the Fibro doesn't cause you too much added pain as you recuperate. Let us know how you are doing, when you can and I am sure the majority of the group will be thinking about and praying for your quick recovery! Don't let your boss or anyone else try to " speed " you through your recovery - you will know when you are ready. Tammy S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 It really sounds like you been to hell and back. Got the t-shirt and everything else. I am really sorry your in so much pain. I can't imagine how it must be for you. Sounds like they really did a number on you. Were you in a car accident or something? I no about Medicaid to. I am always getting we don't cover this or that from them. How could they stop you cold turkey off oxycodin? I been there threw those withdraws. Its no fun. I can relate to how you feel. Somedays I just want to say the heck with it to but I keep going. I really hope your insurances gets off your back. And I really wish there was something I could do to help.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hi Kris, I am new to this group and have not posted anything about myself but have been reading many of the messages that others have left and yours makes my heart break!! First of all I want to say that I am so sorry you are going through so much and that you feel like there will be no end. BUT...do not give in to the thoughts of killing yourself!!! I too was on a high dose of oxy...160mg plus 10mg every 4 hours along with a TON of other meds to help my pain. None of it seemed to work! At the time I had 2 ruptured discs in my neck C5-C6-C7 with 95% impingment on my spinal cord, and 2 broad based disc buldges in my lumbar L4-L5-S1 with siatica in my left leg and foot. I had just had a baby and prior to that was in the hopital for a week (while pregnant) on morphine because of the pressure of her head on my lumbar/siatic area and was unable to even MOVE without pain!! I had her the day after they discharged me from hospital...ANYWAY...I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into when I started taking the oxy! It robbed me of what ever type of " life " I had. It changed who I was and still allowed the pain to " break through " and no matter what I told the doctors, they wouldn't listen. They just kept adding more and more meds to my daily " diet " . At one point I was taking 9 different scripts all for " pain relief/therapy " . The only thing I had left was sleep. It was the only place I could be that didn't hurt. I missed the first year of my daughters life as well as my other 2 girls. And sometimes my dreams were filled with pain so that was no escape. After a visit to the ER and a hospital stay (were the OD'd me on morphine) I just couldn't take it any more...I'm sure they thought I was a " drug seeker " when in fact I was seeking someone to truly help me, not just mask over the evident problems! Long story short, I flushed EVERYTHING down the toilet and went through the withdrawls at home! I felt I would rather TRULY feel my pain than to feel the way I did trying NOT to feel it! It took 3 days to get through the worst of it and then a week of rest and nurishment and by 2 weeks I couldn't believe the difference. Even though my BODY WAS HURTING BAD from my issues, I was in a better frame of mind! I found a doctor to listen to me and he was impressed with my actions and was dumbfounded that my " ex-doctor " allowed my condition continue with out other options. I have since had many surgeries to try to help resolve my spinal issues and am doing " just ok " . Still in pain, still on pain meds (vicodin and soma) still searching for that PAIN FREE day in life BUT......NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I TAKE THAT HORRIBLE MEDICATION BY THE NAME OF OXY-CONTIN/CODONE OR ANY FORM OF IT!! I actually find better pain relief from the ones I am on. Still a narcotic, still something that I put in my system but hasn't stolen what bit of a life I have away from me and my family. Even through the pain, I smile more, I have a better outlook and I am able to think clearer. What I am trying to say is...try getting off the oxy...try a different pain reliever...you will be amazed at the difference I am sure. Talk to your doctor please...I can tell by your post that the the tribulations of the insurance company and possibly the medication is taxing what strenght you have left. I am not trying to preach to you and you don't even have to listen to me but I know from experience how much of this is true. I am here to listen and/or talk...
