Re: I need your help and input

[Guest guest]

I am pressently taking morphine in my Medtronic pump, plus Dilauded for Break

through pain, Nerontin, paxil, Vicodin ES (alternative break through medicine),

Lodin,

Zanaflex (muscle relaxant), Valium (2mgs), atenelol (BLOOD PRESSURE) Prempro

(Hormones)and Baclafan (muscle relaxant. Gosh that's enough!

Hope this helps you, also I get stellate ganglion nerve blocks every other week

with Markain in it.

Hi Tracey,

I think I explained to you that in July, I stopped taking a majority of the

meds I was on.

At the time, I was on

Neurontin - 2700 mg. day

Hydrocodone 5/500 - 1-2 every six hours for breakthrough pain

Oyxcontin - 20 mgs. 3 x day **

Elavil - 150 mg. at bedtime **

Ambien - 5 mg at bedtime **

Clonidine - I do not recall the dose

**I am back on these medications now. I have an RX for Hydrocodone, but

prefer to just take Extra Strength Tylenol. I also take Extra Strength

Tylenol PM at night to help the pain so that I can sleep. It does work, with

the Elavil, Ambien, Oxycontin and Tylenol PM, I get about 4 hrs. solid sleep

per night.

The Dr. would also like me to take an anti-seizure medication, but I didn't

like the neurontin, as well as a muscle relaxor (mobic) now, but I'm at a

somewhat bearable stage and prefer not to add to my current meds until it

becomes unbearable again.

A reminder that it is proven that you cannot become addicted to pain killers

if you are in pain. It's when the pain ends, and you continue taking the

pain killers that addiction MAY occur. For those of us in pain, the chance

of addiction is very slight. I can tell you that most Physicians I've talked

to about this have told me unless they find a cure for RSD, the use of pain

killers in necessary. Whether you have one limb or all limbs affected, RSD

patients need to rely on pain meds to get them through the day.

Good luck, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I'll try and call you and

see how you are.

Hugs & Love,

Jo

Jai,

thanks for sending me your list of meds. I'm

hoping by printing these all out and showing this

doctor he'll get it through his head that the pain is

real with RSD and help me. Someone had better before

I go crazy in pain.

Hugs, Tracey

Bruce,

I hope you get somewhere with printing out the

meds everyone mailed. I sure didn't. But I do think

it's a good idea.
