Hi everyone! Well, it's finally over! It's hard to put this whole ordeal into words. As everyone had promised, it was pretty brutal. I thought I was doing pretty well for the most part. The pain was manageable. Then the nauseu set it. The muceous was so thick it was causing me to gag.I was vomiting so often I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep anything down. Finally, with a combination of drugs and mouth rinses the vomitting subsided, but I feel like I'm always on the verge. But, the pain is so bad now. I started with a .25mg patch 3 weeks ago, but soon that wasn't enough and increased it to .50mg. But, then the nauseau came back so my Dr. wanted me to back the patch down to .25mg. I'm adding liquid oxycodon every 4 hours, which helps a little also magic mouthwash helps a little. I am just getting over thrush too, which only made the pain worse. I feel like I'm in a funk.
So, I'm 2 days out now and certainly feel worse, just like I heard I would.
I'm sure that light at the end of the tunnel is out there-somewhere.
