I, too, used and loved Fentanyl patches and used one, then up to three at a time for the worst of the burns. I just backed them off and went on my happy way. I was definitely not high because of them, but they sure zapped pain that had me going into shock without them. Once they took full effect, I did not need anything else for pain. Amy, this might be all that John needs, as they sure took care of truly terrible burn pain like it was nothing.
