Meli,

We have been through it and know the discomfort, pain, and struggle it creates for you.

Pain meds you need to stay on top off. It seems you are taking both extended release and quicker acting forms which is fine but if you are feeling excess pain, it seems you need to check with your doctor to make adjustments.

I was able to keep the pain under control with MSContin, extended release morphine and hyrdocodone for breakthru pain. A number of patients needed fentanyl patches which are stronger. Maybe your doctor can evaluate that for you.

I created a blog that posted nearly every day of my treatment so there is lots of details in there but quite to slog through. I now post once a week and just a little update now.

Best luck, don
