Dear Alchemist 10 Thanks for the hug which was my first so good to receive. Our daughter now lives in Hartlepool which is near Newcastle upon Tyne. It's a small world. Hope someone can help you help your friend with a docitor in Florida. Yours WendyEE

I am not sure what medicines I will be on because I take vicodine for break through pain right now. I am on oxycodone 15 mg ( the long lasting one) twice a day, and I try not to take it everyday so I won't get addicted to them. It seems it is an endless cycle though, I can go usually about 1 1/2 weeks without the pain meds and then I will need all of them , So I don't know if I am doing something right or not. My doctor said it is not a large amount of pain meds and not to worry but I still do.

Get Well Soon!
I just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers, I don't have what you are talking about, I on the other hand have a high white blood count which they dx as CLL it is in remission right now. I am taking medicine to bring down my auto immune system which could cause my white blood count to go down, but it hasn't yet. Just wanting to wish you well and let you know I'll be praying for you.

Close Pancreatitis
I was first diagnosed with Acute pancreatitis in July of 2007. It has developed into chronic pancreatitis. Have been in the Hospital a lot but the gall bladder removal may have helped if it wasn't for that pesky pseudocyst!!
Treatments
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- Wow just updated this as I realised I was way out of date. I am on the Fentynl patch 75mcg and 5mg oxycodone 4 times a day as needed. This has been my dosage for months now and it seems to be working!
Close Chronic Pain
Treatments
- Fentanyl Working / Worked
- On the 75 mcg patch and it works along with the oxycodone for breakthrough! Not sure if the Lyrica does anything!
- Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
- on 100mg 3 times a day and with other meds it seems to help!
- Nerve Blocks Not Working
- Tried this recently and it made the pain worse :(
- Neurontin Not Working
- Didn't work at all and made me majorly depressed
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- This helps with the breakthrough pain.
