Lupus, sarcoidosis pain

Posted by Graciela

Hi, my name is Graciela, I live with pain every day, and I can't sleep. I am using fentanyl, oxicodone, gabapentin, morphine. I just don't know if these medication are helping. I am getting crazy because of it. I don't want to live like this. I can't stand it any more.Relative and close friends ask me to be strong, but they don't understand my reality. I started with the symptoms on 2002, since then I just want to die. I just wan't to get a long, long, long sleep.

i went to 2 different pain mgmt places, one kept giving me more meds, the other one said i was on too many, stopped cold turkey, got injection in spine, left his practice not soon enough. My primary care Dr. understands that i'm not an addict, but a Chronic pain sufferer. you know your body better than anyone, if these meds aren't working, i'm so sorry. it seems the most effective pain mgmt i've found is the fentanyl patch because of it's constant dosing level. i'll pray for you...Vaya con Dios
