  What's MS contin, friend? I just came back from dr. who is my primary, and I just got a refill for the endocet. The time just wasn't right to start a long discussion, he looked so tired that I felt bad for him. I was his last patient and he seemed very preoccupied with the finances of his practice: the medical arts building he was in is up for grabs and he is worried about this bill passing for health care, he said medicare patients will end up having to go to clinics and he will lose 40% of his patients. I think the poor guy needed something tonight. We have a lot in common as he did his residency where I worked for 12 years. I felt as if he needed some pearls of wisdom and I am out of the loop now that I am retired on SSD and loving it! Just call me a bleeding heart lol. How are you doing tonight? I'm sorry to hear you have MS, do you have to take those shots everyday? I know an EMT friend of my husband who was diagnosed years ago and she dreaded the shots. I used to give myself crude liver injections for awhile, it was no big deal in the thigh, I think I could handle that if I had to. We all have our cross to bear, huh? What are you doing for Thanksgiving? I am cooking and I am also getting cold feet fast: I'll just take meds and grin and bear it!

  What are dilaudid and opana? I have an app;'t later today and need a game plan: right now I need 2 of the 10/325 oxycontin to do the chasing of the pain. This causes me to run out as I am almost through my 4 limit by the time noon rolls around. If I don't knock the pain out early, it starts a syndrome with builds to the point of pain WITH a god awful migraine. Without pain meds, I have constant migraine which quickly turns into nausea. In short, I lose an entire day of my life every day without help from medications for pain. Hope you have some ideas for me so I can tackle this problem before the holidays! I also hope you have a great Thanksgiving day, GOBBLE, GOBBLE!

  I'd like to try acupuncture. Thank you for your posting. My medical aid (South African) pays a limited annual amount for alternative medicines & treatments. I'll google for a South African acupunturist, unless someone on this site can recommend one.

  You just made my day! Please, can you send me a link or the title of that journal/research paper that said it cures cortisol deficiency? I need this to finally prove that fungal toxins can cause lowering of cortisol and that opiates are the only treatment..! Oh my gosh, thank you so much! Keep in touch!

  I am so sorry to hear that you have the flu! Best thing I know is to push fluids and take you favorite pain reliever/fever reducer. Take care and let us know how you are doing.

  You made my day! I have about 7 infusions before coming up on the 2 year mark and wonder if you could steer me toward the new drugs that are coming out soon. I do not plan to going past the 24 month mark with Tysabri and hope something is available after 7 months. I have been very weary the last month and have not kept up with the news, so please give me a hint.... I am so sleepy I hope I can read it.
