I'm hoping someone here knows an answer to this situation. Because of my asthma and pulmonary hypertension I have a really tough time with pain meds. They suppress my breathing and also cause my heart to "mess up" (no other way for me to explain it). I had surgery last month and have had to rely on tylenol to get me through it. I'm also having more joint/muscle pain than I've ever had. NSAIDS are causing me the same problems. I call my rhuematologists office and try to explain it to his nurse, but I think the only message he gets is I want to try another pain med. So she will call back and say they called something else in. I have a narcotic pharmacy in my house right now and I can't use any of it. Are there any pain meds that don't cause drowsiness? Or maybe ya'll can't answer that because I believe tramadol isn't suppose to is it? And it's one of the worst for me.
I'm so tired of living in constant pain. Nothing ever lets up. I don't know how people live through this. I don't even know how to cope anymore. My family is avoiding me, my friends... well I don't even have those anymore. My boyfriend is even keeping a low profile. I just don't know how much more of this I can take.
