Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 a, you are so right about cat's being theraputic. I will say that my rheumy has a no tolerance for pain, so he gives me the 25 mg duragesic patch. That has made a huge differance for me pain wise for about 6 months. I have been having a great deal of pain this week from pancreatitus and it doesn't cover that, so he gives me other things for occasional break through pain. Different dr's have different oppinions on pain meds, but I will tell you this. I dont have lupus, only fibromyalgia and I was suicidal before I got the pain patch. They are supposed to be addicting, but I have never had a druggy effect from them and I take care of our baby every day just fine. So if this is addicted,, I'll take it! Life is so much better most of the time now! a c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
