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
