Title: Well I was doing better or so I thought.
Post by Mattrf on Feb 16^th, 2007, 12:35pm

(SUNCT)
Well after the Lidocaine IV drip had limited success the doctor put me on something called Mexitil 150Mg worked my way up to four a day and it really seemed to get the constant pain under control I was trying to cut back on my pain meds but kept getting sick, flue type sick and thought it was withdrawals since I have been on the pain meds for over a year now. I bumped the pain meds back up because I just got really tiered of puking all the time and it made no difference, you guessed it the Mexitil is the problem, same thing happened with the only other medication that helped with the pain. This sucks I was finally feeling better for the first time in fourteen months and I have to stop taking the medication, I was even ready to stop taking the main medication all together, now I am sitting here just waiting for my HA to ramp back up since I am off the medication, I might get a couple good days while it works its way out of my system and my stomach is starting to feel better now, still not too sure about eating anything but it is better than when I got up today and a far cry better than last night when I was hugging the porcelain.

I feel completely disarmed, I had been so depressed and just got myself out of that and now am going to have to fight to stay out of it with not much to fight with. I am going to fight as hard as I can not to slide backwards into depression again but you all know what a rough battle that can be so wish me luck, I go see the doctor on Monday so I guess I will see if he has any more tricks up his sleeve, he really is a great doctor so I still have hope.

I was just able to eat and it seems to be staying down, dam I hate being right some times. :P

I really would have rather this had been withdrawals and not the medication that really gave me relief. :(

I will keep up the good fight.
