The only thing is I was taking the medicine just like he perscribed them. I told him that and he said just because I say it's okay to take that many does'nt mean you have to if you don't need them. That's where he does'nt understand, I need that many plus some. No one understands what it is to live with chronic pain unless they have done it themselves.
I go back to my new doctor tomorrow. She has the results to 3 MRI's I had taken last week, and also a chest x-ray. I'm anxious to find out what she says. My last MRI's was 2 years ago. If it is MS I'm sure it has changes because I've gotten alot worse in the last 2 years. After my appointment with her I am having an EEG test ran. I've never had one before, so I'm not sure what to expect. She also talked about getting a medicine pump put in. I don't have a clue what that is all about. She said we would talk about
that more tomorrow. She also thinks I may need a self-catheter (?) I have almost no bladder control at all. Most of the time when I go to the restroom I'm already wet. That is so embarassing. At least the diapers help most of the time.
How have you been feeling? What are your doctors telling you? Let me know what kind of test and stuff you are going through. Are you in much pain?
Wish me luck at the doctor tomorrow. Also tell me more about yourself.
Thanks,
Carol

Do be careful, though. You don't want to become tolerant of too high
a dosage because then it may not take the pain away anymore. I've
found that whenever I have prescription stuff, you have to wait so
long between doses that it doesn't do anything for the pain! I went
back to OTC Motrin. At least I can take it every 3 or 4 hours if I
have to. I'm lucky because the antidepressants I'm on seem to take
the pain away for long periods of time. I take it at bedtime, and
usually I am in excruciating pain by then. When I wake up in the
morning, I can take a couple Motrins and I'm "ok" -- not great, but
ok. I was poppin' Motrins like candy for a while there. Now, I
sometimes don't even have to take Motrin every day. My pain bounces
around. One minute it's in my feet, next it's my neck, etc. Is
yours like that too, or is it all in your legs and feet?

taking to many meds. I told him that if he would give me the proper
amounts for my pain I would'nt have to. He has no clue to how much
pain I am in.
