Brian, you r a lovely man. You too have been through a lot - I know that it isn't always easy but you always come through for other. Thank you. I am not an addict but I am dependant on my meds and not just for pain - the wd feeling is scary to e because it reminds me that my pain relief comes at a price. Dependance. I don't get any sort of 'high' from my meds, I did when I was given tramal but that became seretonin syndrome. Scary stuff and enough to scare me off. I've tried most things - fentanyl and oxy work best. I think fentanyl only comes in patch though? And they give me a terrible rash - norspan (buprenophine) patches left me with a scar. We do use fentanyl if I'm in hospital though. I wish that there was something without the ups and downs.
Another question, what do others consider to be acceptable pain? I usually sit around a 6. I class a 10 as when my nerve pain is so bad I can't see and my ribcage spasms - luckily not often! Sometimes I wonder if a 6 is too high? I have trouble concentating on conversatons or sitting still. Just wondering what others think.
Thanks again, I probably shouldn't have said advice 'required', it sounds bossy!
