Hi everyone,
It sure has been such a long time since I have been here. I have been in soooo much pain and working and yadda yadda yadda you get what I mean.
How are you all?? I have been reading just not posted. Anyway I wanted to share with you that my Dr finally talked me into using the Fentanyl pain patch. Well he gave me too much 100micrograms and I ended up in hospital being really sick. My Dr felt so bad he works there (hospital) and he though given the meds I already take for the pain that my body would cope with that. Well my body had better ideas.
I visited him again last Wednesday and he talked me into and reassured me to use the lowest strength patch. I am sure glad I listend to him as I have been pain free and I now use the 25microgram patch. I have to let you know that I have more energy, I have been going for walks and feel I have my quality of life back, for the first time in eight years.
I wanted to share although I know it may not work for everybody if it is offered by your DR then consider
My joints are still swollen the only side effect I have is a headache on waking in the morning other than that I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!!!!!!!
I sure hope this lasts:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
LOVE to All
Kerry

Hi Kerry

I'm so glad to hear that you have found something to help relieve that pain and I do really understand what you mean about feeling you have your life back.

Things finally seem (touch wood) to be coming together for me treatment wise too and I do so know what you mean.

Long may the pain free days and stability last!!!

Thanks Zoi,
I really need to thank my husband as he did not give up and kept encouraging me to use them again so without him I would not have tried them so quickly.
Thanks again
Kerry
