Sorry about this. Most people cannot get their heads around the pain we can suffer. If you have seen some of my other posts recently my current pain has kept me awake since Monday even after Tramadol and Co-proximol. I passed out last night because I was so tired. To-day feeling better, but slowly the pain level will begin to increase. I managed to get into Docs yesterday, but also have to wait until Tuesday before he will do anything.

Dicloflex (??) I've not heard of that, its not Diclofenac is it? Is it a pain killer or anti-inflamatory? What other pain killers are you taking, if any? I would not bother with Paracetemol, I dont find them any good for the pain I get, and too many will just upset your tummy.

If you are in UK and things get bad over this weekend, try NHS Direct, at least you will get to talk to a nurse and discuss what is taking place. If they say go to A&E, then go.

Hi Dee style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/foryou.gif

sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with the pain, bed sounds like the best place for you. If you need to bew admitted to hospital then maybe that will be the best thing and they can get you sorted, I know that is not a pleasant thought but in the long run it could bejust what you need to get on the right drugs to make you feel better.

Thinking of you and wishing you well style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hugbetter.gif

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wavey.gif Hi , I am so sorry for all that you are going thru right now. You
seem to haave a lot on your plate. If your hubby called the dr. and was told
to double the dose for you , then try that out, and see if it works. I am like
you, I wouldn't want to go into the hospital unless I had to, they just put you
into a room and then seem to ignore you, but do what you think is best.
Please take care. You will make it thru this, you have made it thru worse.



Be well and keep posting. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

Sorry to hear you are suffering so badly. Rest is the best thing for you now. I hate hospitals too, but if it gets too bad that is the only place help will be on this holiday weekend. Hugs to you.

Take care,
