It's 5:13 am here, and I am sitting here in tears because for the very first time in YEARS I DONT FEEL PAIN. I cant believe it. I am afraid to believe it. Yesterday I went to the pain doc and we discussed going back on the oxycontin or the duragesic patch. He said we'd do a trial run of the patch for one month and see how I do, with the norco for backup. Well I was given enough norco to last 9 days, and he rewrote the RX yesterday. I went to get it filled with the patches and the insurance co said they wouldnt pay for it because it hadnt been a month. I went all day yesterday with nothing for pain but the patches that didnt kick in til I woke up at about 245 this morning. I slept on the couch because I was in so much pain I couldnt lay still and was bothering my husband. I cant even begin to explain how horrible I've felt, and yesterday, I almost fainted in the gas station, almost passed out again in the dr's office.....managed to get the patches, and put TWO on out of complte desperation. I know I can only use one at a time, but I'll have the norco then.

I am simply amazed......I feel like God or something, somebody, or maybe just a wonderful doctor has taken me out of my life in h*llish pain and given me a taste of who Sandy is again.

OMG I;'m crtying so hard. I dont want to get my hopes up, but for right now, for this very minute, I will take this feeling of being able to walk with no pain, no sweating then freezing, ........I'm almost hysterical. I have lived in pain so long, and this is working.......is it too good to be true????????????

Just thank you GOD is all I can say

(((((((((((((((((((Sandy)))))))))))))))))

This is Awesome news!!! I told you the Patch was good.. I wish I could have used it... There is something out there for all of us, we just have to figure out what the right combination is :) Have you experienced any itching yet? Are you on the 25mgs for now?

My doc upped my dosage on wed and I felt good enough yesterday to paint my house! lol - so I guess mine is working well too...

::doing the Happy Dance for us::

Just remember what I posted earlier about the Patch, Don't put it below the belly and don't put it on too tight. My friend put hers on too tight and it caused her arm to burn.

Wishing you continued pain-free days! ((((((((((Sandy)))))))
