Just an update for my millions of loyal readers...I had to go into a long-term outpatient Suboxone treatment program because the length of time I've had to wait to get into the various non-drug therapies I've been looking at has just been too long. Still waiting, in fact. My back was so bad for awhile that I couldn't move hardly any muscle anywhere on my body without getting unbelievably intense stabbing pains that made me cry out involuntarily. My legs weren't working right either, due to neuropathy, and I had the pleasure of falling down a time or two. That was NO fun, believe me. After a couple weeks of that I went to the Suboxone program. Suboxone isn't as effective on pain as some of the other meds I've been on, but it doesn't have as many side effects either. I've only been in the program a few weeks and we're still trying to find the right dosage and get me stabilized. The doc who runs the program says I will need Suboxone maintenance for probably 3-4 months, then we'll decide what to do from there. I know Suboxone is addictive, just like the other opiates, but it is supposedly not as addictive and easier to titrate off. We'll see what happens...
