Hi Guys,
I am sitting here just crying all the time. The short version is that I was on heavy meds--Oxycontin, Percoset anything that helped. I have a great doctor who is really smart and very compassionate. About 4 months ago the pain started to lessen and for the first ime in about 10 years I felt as if I was going into remission. Stopping the pain meds was a long involved process and at times not very pleasant but again I was so lucky to have a doc walk me through it. About a month ago it started from exposure to mold again I think, but I only had to take something once in awhile.. When it started to get really bad I did not take what I should have taken to get ahead of the pain and the pain took on a life of its own. Now my bladder is somewhat better but I have the most horrible, intolerable pain in my back/side that seems a little low for the kidney. I do have kidney stones and have passed about 5 in the past 15 years. The pain will radiate around to the front and down to my pubic bone. I do not want to become habituated again--it was heaven being off the meds--no pain, no constipation and I do not want the ordeal of getting off again. I am kind of scared b/c this pain is different. I took a sample to my uro but no traces of blood and I am on antibiotic for possible infection. I know I am rambling and I am so sorry but the true sadness I feel is overwhelming. I know its hard for us all so thanks for letting me just kind of let it all out. Sending you all hugs---Malone
