I kind of missed out on the info on Prilosec,as I had surgery last week to replace my morphine pump. I also have a question for everybody. My body temperature has been over a 100 for over a month. Yeasterday it went up to 103 degrees. I can't take antiobotics-they make me deathly ill. I don't feel ill,just the usual rsd pain which has been very bad. Could these high fevers be caused by the rsd.If they are what can I do to get my temp down?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Barb, Temperature elevations can be associated with increased pain levels. The reverse can happen as well. Tylenol is good to reduce fever. If that does not work try, try a motrin product. If all else fails, naprosyn. By all means please be sure to see the doctor and let him know what is going on. There may be an underlying infection with the replacement of your morphine pump. Sincerely, Glenn Gorleski, L. P. N. (GlennCFORSD@...)

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Temperature elevations can be associated with increased pain levels Hi Glenn, This is the exact thing my family doctor said on Friday! I have been running low grade fevers mostly at nights for several months (at least) also during a trip to AZ on the plane, my pain level increased quite a bit and there was no way I could move around much. The day we were leaving to come back I caught my uncles stomach virus and was sick before we left for the airport and all the way home. My aunt had packed some crackers for me as they do not give meals on the flights anymore. We had the same "afternoon snack" on the way back as they called the "breakfast snack" on the way out! YUCK!!! No way could I have eaten it. My family doctor is still looking for a pain management doctor for me but since I have been thru such horror with w/c doctors, I will not see any doctor who will not work with my family doctor. We have had him for more than 20 years and trust him totally, he has never been wrong and if he is unsure of something he will keep digging until he finds what is wrong. He has done his own research on RSD to be able to help me the best he can but feels that I need more than he can give me and he said there was a new pain management doctor appointed to the staff at the hospital he is associated with. Tomorrow I will call and find out the doctor's name and phone number and my family doctor will call and speak directly to the pain management doctor and decide if this is the direction he wants to have me pursue, however, I told him that the doctor MUST be willing to keep him posted at all times and he understands that as we have been thru so much together. He has pulled me through some rough times that w/c doctors put me thru including additicton (physical dependence) on Oxycontin and then stopping it and trying to give me a 9 day methadone program that was not enough to get me thru. Then when we tried to contact the w/c doctor he was 'unavailable', went to family doctor and have never heard him yell before but he sure did that day trying to get thru to the w/c doctor, who by the way never did answer either of our messages. My family doc wanted me hospitalized but couldn't do it, the w/c doctor had to admit me. It was a long weekend and he stayed in touch with my mother and my husband every few hours from Friday thru Sunday and I saw him again on Monday. He is the best and the only doctor who I have any trust in at all.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Just a question about the Tylenol. I was told that if you are taking certain pain medicines that has ancetamine in it, you can't take Tylenol because of the chance to overdose is too great. Is this true? I have Darvocet, which I'm almost out of, and I am taking Tylenol Allergy/Sinus/Headache because my allergies and sinuses are a mess! There is 500mg Ancetamine in the sinus meds, and I My Darvocet is 100-650Tab. Should I take motrin IB instead? I have to take 4 of those at a time to get any effects from that already, and regular tylenol I don't bother with cause it doesn't do nothing any more for me. And I'm allergic to asprin.
