Hope your pain clinic appointment will help you sort out the various causes of your pain and treat each level with that which will be appropriate. I know you don't like to feel groggy from standard pain meds, but sometimes we have to start out that way and as the days go by our bodies will get more used to the good effects of the meds and we can stop being so groggy. I hope you can get to the point where you can accept that you have had serious damage that may need more permanent pain control methods. Once the pain gets under good control, cutting back is a possibility, from my experience.

BTW, do you know about Dragon, Naturally Speaking? You can talk and it types what you say, so you don't have to spend so much time at the keyboard.

Lots of warm furry hugs sent your way.

I'm really hoping they will help tomorrow. There has to be some way of dealing with this pain so I can function. For the last week or so I've been taking the pain meds every 6 hours, as directed. I sleep almost all day, only waking up about an hour before I need to take them again, and then I'm in terrible pain until I can take them again (I've even started taking it a little early, because waiting a full 6 hours between gets my pain back up to a 9...and that takes forever to go back down. Screaming for an hour four times a day isn't doing anything for my health or anyone else's stress levels around here...stupid drugs...). :/ Even when they are 'working' I still can't get out of bed or sit up for more than a few minutes without really paying for it. There has to be some other way of dealing with this!

I looked up that naturally speaking software, wow...expensive! If we can't control my pain, though, I may have to do something like that. Good to know there is an option.

Thanks for the hugs!
