I hope you get better. I have a problem taking the oxycotin. I just think I am a sleeze bucket sometimes for taking them.......but my doctor told me, I have a diease that is just as hard as diabetis. And just as they take insulin, I have to take a drug to help me live a productive life. I am not happy with the way I feel many days. But I have other problems as well. (fybriodmyalgia)(I think a lot of us do).........but anyway, at least its a working point for me and I am trying to do something about it Good luck...... The other Kristie
