Hi Sweet Dawn! ") What on earth is wrong with the medical profession these days? I'm so sorry that you only have a few vicodin pills to "get you by" and that your PCP is telling you to take a medication that just doesn't touch our kind of pain. Shame on him! I remember trying Aleve and it was a joke. Not a funny one of course for me, but my devil pain was laughing very hard at the Aleve. As if the devil pain was saying to the Aleve pill, ya buddy - you think you're going to get rid of me? I think not you tiny do nothing pill. Ah, the joy of being able to vent here huh? You vent anytime you'd like sweetness, anytime! What's your next step? Have you chatted with your PCP about pain medication that will help you with your devil pain? If anything I can do for you, I'm right here - holding out my hand. With love and hugs and all the support in the world, ~Chrissie xo's
