hello and ty to all that read n replied!!! I guess adding a little history that lead up to my being on sub's may help! I have chronic back pain, have had all ink procedures that they are willing to do and surgeons turned me away for fear of how many surgeries I would have to go thru just to 'hope' it would help. I have been on high (24 30mg roxis/day) plus 4 80mg oxys/day. With that said, my body couldn't take anymore and jus gave up.
I spent a week in hospital followed by a month in inpatient rehab. Both of which did help, but only for 4 months before I wound up with excruciating pain and another problem happening where I needed surgery on my foot!! Then the pills started again.
One big vicious cycle, so much that I knew that I myself, could not be trusted holding my own meds. I turned over every script filled n only was given 1 day at a time. Yes it was sometimes a hassle for us both but I enjoyed living too much n when u have ur whole bottle, its so easy to just take another cuz u hurt.
that went on for another 2 years, getting my scripts weekly. Then everything came crashing down!!! The very morning of my apt, to get my meds that I was out of, the drs office calledbn told me that my problems were better handled by a specialist!!!!! R u kidding me?????
So the search begins.... phone book, laptop, any sources I found I called. Turned away from all.
I was at wits end. Didn't know who else to try so I called back a sub office that I left msg for n they answered!!! I didn't even have answers yet but still felt relieved!!! I was scared, crying, begging for help.
They saw me the very next day!!!!!! So they started me on sub's n discussed switching over to the Butrans patch for the pain!!!
I truly feel being on these, help my pain greatly, and the addiction!!!
Now, with the backfire about my ins, kinda makes me feel that it was a waste!! I know its not but that's how I felt!!! I finally got back as normal a life as I could n I love it, my kids, family friends are all happy to have ME back!!!
Thanks for reading!!!
