Svenn,

I know exactly what you're going through. I also can't take triptans...the only advice I can give you is to take the Morph about 1/2 hour before a cluster that comes at the same time every day. It probably won't do much if you wait until  the pain is extreme.

It stinks but like I always tell myself..."better pain, then dead".


Good Luck,

Jimmy

There are a few of us that have had luck with the duragesic patch (fentanyl).  We have had sucess at different levels of the drug from 25 mcg to 100mcg.  It is a narcotic but it doesn't leave you feeling druged up and out of it.  You are 100% functional.

Svenn, also, please thank your Doc for all of us who care for you! He is trying to find something  in between the trex and your heart which will help you to fight.........
your heart is important too..........
sending you vibage, prayers, coping spirit, good juju...and a kiss to Bente, coz I know this is all hard for her too.....
Cathi....ohh, and big hugs for you both!

Title: Re: Going to kill the doc
Post by Jeepgun on Dec 17th, 2004, 1:03pm
Ditto Cathi's remarks, Svenn. You just gotta stick around because we have villages to plunder and burn, small northern European countries to terrorize, oceans to sail, and all that other cool Viking stuff!  [smiley=laugh.gif]

Seriously, please keep an eye on your blood pressure and be especially good to yourself. Lots of love to you and Bente.

Man, morphine is really nasty.  Did't do shit for me the 1 time I got a shot.  You need to find something else.  Prolonged morphine use can't be good for your mind either. My brother was on it for weeks after some intense back surgery and he couldn't take it - made him go crazy.  Stick with O2 and try some other stuff, try the shrooms?

Dammit Svenn, now you KNOW you wouldn't look good in stripes!!!!   Kill the doc, YEAH RIGHT     ;)

Sorry it's so rough for you right now pal. Hang in there, you know we all care a GREAT deal for you. And even though you fuss at me, I'm still worried. That blood pressure is no good.

Glad you came to us to vent. That's what we're here for. I miss you, so take care of yourself!!!!!!  That's an order!!

Give Bente a hug for me and tell them boys to behave themselves too. (I know how they can be...hehehehehe)

catch up to you soon,
hugs,
EDNA

I know how you feel Svenn but this sounds pretty nasty.

Keep on top of this thing or his head if need be until he gets it that you aren't crazy about this choice. It seems very odd.  http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/slap.gif

Bente needs you around too as well as all the braindamaged loons from the board.

Careful friend.

Damnit, my friend, I hate that they took the trex away from you!  That SUX!!!  I know how much you depended on it!!

Well, let's not cry over what is past.  Let's look to the future, and YES, you do have a future!  What can be done to get you thru your hits?  I know O2 helps.  Maybe you will have to depend on that more than you have in the past.  As you know, that is the only option that I have had for over a year and a half.  It has kept me alive, even with my bad heart.  And you are a STRONGER person than I am.  If I can do it, damnit, you can too!

Don't cry over spilled milk.  It is spilled and nothing can be done about it.  Look to what CAN be done.

You are a hero and inspiration to many of us.  We KNOW you can beat this glitch.  I have faith in you.  The family has faith in you.  

Kick ass, my friend, and don't let this get the best of you.  You CAN survive this!

There has to be something else that can be done. o2 doesn't work at all?
I know it seems pointless to keep riding out wave after wave of attacks. But PLEASE hang in there man. This HAS to break soon. There HAS to be a light at the end of the tunnel soon.
Keeping you in prayer and sending all the vibes I can possibly muster up. You hang tight my friend. We're in this together.

Peace,

Svenn, I just sent you what strength I could muster to send.  I know you're exhausted, and I do so wish I could take a few for you.  I'm sorry that I don't have any comforting words to give to you, as I know words are meaningless when you're suffering so.

Svenn,
    You and everyone here knows how against any Narcotic drugs I was before I tried Oxycontin, I use to go in about every 4 to 10 years and get 100mg of Morphine to knock me out so I could get a few hours sleep, but the Oxy worked for me, really worked, no dizzy, buzzed  out feeling like Morphine and it worked for a long time. I quit thinkng there might be a connection between my other health problems, but Brother, it works, I don't care what anyone tells you about it,  You can be called an Oxy head and cut down by all the better than thou's but I average 7 a day and at 10 t0 15 a day the Oxy was the only thing that kept me from ending it all together. Just my Humble Opinion
but with 35 years of documentation and having tried every other drug out there it was a miracle for me!
