Thank you for all of your support and input. I'm trying to keep my pain under control and right now, that involves lots of sleeping. I tried taking my last round of meds with the MM and it helped a bit. Christine, even the liquid Roxicet sticks to the raw mucosa at the back of my throat. I tried to gargle with it as far back in my throat as possible, but the directions say to spit it out. I do end up swallowing a bit of it, though.
