Please someone respond to this message.
I have constant thoughts of dying to get out of
this pain. I (stupidly) had a cosmetic
procedure done 3 years ago to remove a lot of
loose skin rolls around my lower back, from years
of an eating disorder, which was finally in
control. Now I have adhesions covering my entire
torso front and back. It feels like meat
hooks pulling, stinging, tearing, biting, terrible.
I take amytryptilene to sleep at night (it works)
but I am like a zomby during the day, struglling
to be alert. I have to continue to work
full time and i am a college teacher, so I have
to act like I know what I am doing. during the
day i take advil, tylenol, aspirin but all they
do is make me more sedated with no pain
relief. I want to try a TENS (trans epidural
nerve stimulator. I am going to be seen at a
pain clinic. My questions: 1) does anyone
out there in adhesion sufferers land have pain
control without sedation?????? 2)I have been
reading the board for a while. When people say,
"Have a pian free day", I wonder is that
possible?????2)3) those of you taking
strong meds like methadone and oxycntin, are you
alert enough to function mentally? 4) I identify
with the people who say, "I used to do so much
and now my life is nothing." Just barely
hanging on. PLEASE PLEASE P{LEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME.
