  1. Losing Hope for Recovery

    I never drive while taking the pain killers. My husband is retired and has been taking me everywhere, which is mostly to doctors trying to find some help. I don't have a sponsor right now, but I am hoping to get one and get off the Opiates as soon ...

    lol You know me so well-that's exactly what it was- a fight with my husband! Krisssy
  3. Losing Hope for Recovery

    Yes I believe you, and thank you. One more question-did you find that stress made the pain much worse? Something very stressful has been going on the last two days, and the pain has become almost unbearable even with the narcotics.
  4. Losing Hope for Recovery

    I am confused. If the Percoset causes the pain, why did I have it for 6 months without any narcotics? Why did you have your pain before you started the narcotics? Krisssy
  5. Losing Hope for Recovery

    Hi Southernbee Girl and Everyone else, Yes I have tried many other means of dealing with the IC since I got it in Aug. 2008. I have actually tried everything my specialist (actually a famous IC specialist) gave me which was Valium, which worked for ...
  6. Losing Hope for Recovery

    I think, because of how I worded this, you misunderstood what I said. I meant that I was HAPPY that the Oxytcontin did NOT make me high like the Percoset did, BUT I am upset, because here I find a medication which does not make me high, but it does ...

  8. Dilaudid question - Personal Opinion

    I am a nurse, and I have been a patient. Once a nurse refused to give me pain meds for an intestinal obstruction. She was dismissed by me as my nurse and reported to the Director of Nursing. Of course my doctor ignored her. BUT, if he didn't, he ...

    Thank you Jack. Yes, if you could find me additional information, I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to know how to find an addictionologist/pain Dr. That would be perfect for me. I recently went to a pain Dr. who prescribed long acting ...
  10. Drug addicted nurses

    I greatly appreciate what you have written, and I agree completely. It's about time the moral stigmas get lifted, and addicts get the help they need to treat their disease like anyone else with any disease. It is just another form of prejudice in m...
  11. Losing Hope for Recovery

    Oh thank you so much for your support. Nobody from my support group calls me anymore. It feels like they all just don't know what to do to help me. I went to a pain dr. and told him the whole story. He said that it would be better to take Oxycon...

    That's interesting. Why would tylenol cause one to get high? Krisssy
  13. Dilaudid question - Personal Opinion

    I have been suffering from chronic severe pain from Interstitial Cystitis. I have tried Torodol, Lyrica, Elavil, NSAIDs etc. for the last 9 months. Nothing has worked, and I have been debilitated for 9 months. I have finally been put on Oxycontin ...
  14. Dilaudid question - Personal Opinion

    I had an experience as a patient that this post makes me think of. I had an intestinal obstruction requiring surgery. I had been in the ER all day receiving morphine IV for pain. When they transferred me to a floor, they stopped the pain medicatio...
