Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Tracie, I had this very talk with my GP last week... I have never had a drug addiction anything similar but I am taking Lortab 7.5 and I am finding I need it everyday.. at least once...This is what my GP said to me.... are you having pain? I answered yes very much so... but I don't want to become dependent on a drug... He answered a person that is having pain "physical pain" will not become addicted to pain medication...especially if they take it as prescribed and not just to get a buzz or high...I myself don't know... I hate the fact that we have to consider this.. but I have seen people so desperate for narcotic that they would do anything, like steal from their families and friends to get their fix...But Tracie, living in the kinda of pain that this dieasese causes is unbareable at times... and NOBODY deserves to live like that.... Love ya,. -- Help Ok, Tracie has landed. For a short while anyhow. I've come to realize that i can't continue on as I have been, so today and I are going to see my GP to talk to her about pain medication. I hope that the specialists in Sacramento at UCD have sent her the information and suggestions as to how to proceed.I have to admit that I am scared to allow myself to take anything for pain, and that I am truly feeling like I am betraying a promise to myself, a promise to my family, and even a promise to my god. I made a contract never to use again. September 29, 2003 would be 13 years clean and sober. This is a biggie guys, I don't know if I can go thru with this-- even if it means that I'm taking better care of myself by allowing the Pain of the NS to be less enabling. I'm not even sure if that makes sense.I have done all the self-talk of "Tracie, you owe it to yourself to take as good a care of yourself as you can. Even if that means painmeds." I have told myself that if my body is "as one with god, or your body is your temple- so you must take the route of accepting responsibilty for your wellness" . . . As you can see, this is a struggle on more than a physical level, it is my spirit/spiritual battle also. I've always expected myself to honor myself and my god and my commitment to both, both with my actions and with my deeds. ~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~The Neurosarcoidosis CommunityLive Group Chat:-Mondays & Fridays 10pm EST USAhttp://www.elderwyn.com/neurosarcoidosis/chat.phpMessage Archives and Digest Attachment Pictures:-http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/messagesMembers Database:-Listings of locations, phone numbers, and instant messengers.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/database Bookmarks:-Add a website URL you have found useful.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/linksPersonal Complaints or problems:-Please email the moderatorsmailto:Neurosarcoidosis-owner Subscription Details:-1) Individual email - means that every email sent to the list you receive.2) Daily Digest - sends you 25 messages in one single email for you to browse.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Dear Tracie, Hon, I understand what you are saying about being dependent on the pain killers, but I don't think we are expected to live in pain.....I really think that if you use it for the pain only and not abuse it, you will be ok. No one deserves to live in severe pain and I don't really think our God expects you to. It is bad enough to live with the rest of this disease without having to fight the pain....... Hang in there and know that there are many here who will be pulling for you. Love, hugs, and lots of prayers, Darlene > Ok, Tracie has landed. For a short while anyhow.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Tracie, I'm so sorry that I did not see this message sooner. I am a recovering addict. I have been in the program since March 2000 and have been sober 9 months. My last relapse was with the Duragesic fentanyl patches.. I used them as prescribed at first then found a way to abuse them. I was in severe pain believe me. But the alcoholic addict took over. You have to be very careful. Be sure you are doing this for the right reasons and have exhausted all other non-narcotic pain med alternatives. Now I'm not talking to you sarcs who are not addicts. You wouldn’t understand. Tracie, if you decide to take the narc pain meds let someone else be responsible for it and dispense it to you. Take it only as rx and tell your physician you are a recovering addict. Be honest in all you do. Go to meetings everyday (especially while taking pain meds). Pray and meditate, Ask God to keep you sober every morning.
