I'm on oxycontin.. I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia.. I'm still in horrid pain...? |
I was diagnosed with Lupus(SLE) this year and Fibromyalgia a few years ago, but believe it all started after a bout of very serious(hospitalized because of spleen and liver) mono when I was 17yrs old. I have been on percocet 10/325 every 4-6 hour max 4 day for the last 4 YEARS.. recently it got switched to 20 mg of oxycontin twice a day with oxycontin IR 5mg also twice a day... problem is it's still not working and I'm sitting here typing with tears running down my cheeks... I put a call into my doctor..no call back yet... It's full body agony.. I can't take this anymore...I don't know how to tell my doc I need more meds or different, or something... I have tried yoga, nerve blocks, operations, therapy, etc... in the past few years... nothing works, I have three children who need me and all I want to do is curl up in a ball and die... I don't know what to do anymore... Can anyone advise? Here's some all-natural supplements that are very helpful when managing both lupus and fibromyalgia. GLA Complex: nature's steroid; insulates the fibrous sheath of the nerve bundles - very important for lupus Vita-C: strengthens the integrity of connective tissue; antioxidant; anti-inflammatory NutriFeron: strengthens the immune system OsteoMatrix: muscle relaxant Zinc Complex: protects skin & organs; promotes healing Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions. Bonzai Betty you are completely clueless !!! Just because someone requires Oxycontin or other opioid pin medication does not make them drug abusers or addcits. People like you make me very angry !! You need to educate yourself !!! If the day ever come that you suffer from severe unrelenting pain then you too will understand the need for these medicines. I am so sorry to hear that. My ex boyfriend has Lupus and he is on a steroid called prednazone(not sure if you spell it like that) and Lortab 10's. He says that of all the medication he has tried those two seem to ease up the pain a little more. I really hope that helps. I am so sorry to hear that and God bless you! Stay strong! Just hang in there. Your doctor should help you monitor pain levels to find the right mix of medications for you. I have fibromyalgia as well, but my pain is nothing like what you're describing. I've been trying to find a trained acupuncturist for pain management, but I live in a small town in the midwest so that's not easy. |
