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.

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.

Thanks Tammy!

Thanks for empathizing! I'm sorry you got denied again, but hang in there.

I've heard 3 times is a charm, and I'm hoping that is the case with you.

Thanks again,

Caitlin

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.

Take care Connie

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...

Truly,

Janeene
