Hi Bob, I thought it might be you! Hi everybody else. I'm 49, been a CH'er for 25 years. Epi for 21, chronic for the last 4. What fun!! Just had to change doc's, as mine old one just moved to Washington state. Lucky rascal. He was a good one. I think this other guy is gonna be ok, I deal with him all the time in my job{can't believe I still have a job !}. I'm on 80mg of Oxycontin a day, 150mg of Elivil at hs, percodan prn. It keeps the pain to a level where I can almost function. My wife worries about "addiction", but I tell her I'm physically dependent, like a diabetic and insulin. Don't much like it, hard to motivate myself to do anything other than sit at my desk and drool, but I couldn't live with the pain anymore, and it was a better choice than the other one. Anyway, glad to be here, and I look forward to becoming a member of this community. JoJo
