Hi Patty,

I think that there are medications that might be able to help you more than the Vioxx. Several of us have had the most success with time-release medications such as Oxycontin or MSContin. I take Oxycontin and then there are sevral other things I do to help keep the pain and digesive symptoms at a dull roar.

Acceptance is huge, and by that I mean that we have a condition for which there is no easy answer. It is always a struggle, by by learning what we can and cannot change, we can learn to have a good quality of life in spite of all the rest.

Some of the key things besides getting on a more effective pain med would be massage therapy, acupuncture, yoga, meditation and a milder softer diet. There are many foods I have chosen to eliminate to keep myself more comfortable. And probably most important is plenty of rest.

We are here always when you need to vent. I'm glad you found us.

Hugs,

Janet
