dawn,
thanks for your kind words. have you seen a pain dr? or are you dealing
with your gynocologist or pcp?im glad the doc at the er has the
compassion to treat you. im currently taking 60 mg a day methadone from
my pcp but shes not comfortable about it because she wont give me
breakthrough meds so i run out before im supposed to. she is trying to
find me another doc.the methadone works pretty good but tolerance is
inevitable and after a while i need to increase and thats when i get
dumped. i know its so frustrating to have this kind of pain.especially
when you cant point to it and say " right there, thats where it hurts"
its more like " it hurts inside all the time. its not worse when i do
this, its not better when i do that"
at least we are not alone. thanks for being there.
