Hi,
I am sorry that you are struggling ... you
have been through hell to have non-hodgkins
on top of everything else. I understand what
you say about the pain meds - you can't take
them because they make you feel funny or not
at the top of your game and that's not good
when you have kids. But if I can ask - what
kind of pain meds have you tried?
Have you tried the durgesic patch (fentnyl)?
You can start with 25micrograms - its a patch
you put on your upper arm or shoulder and the
medicine goes through your skin - and change
the patch every 2-3 days.What's most helpful
about this medicine is that it provides a
continuous layer of pain control under the
surface, and you can utilize breakthrough pain
meds whenever you need to. I also recommend
roxicodone, which is essentially percocet without
the tylenol.
For a long period of time I was taking 2 perc
every 4 hours four times a day. My hands were
getting numb and tingling a lot and the only
thing I could think was that I was taking too
much tylenol.
Now that I take the one without tylenol I
don't have any numbness or tingling.
Just some thoughts...this disease is too
much to handle pain-wise to go completely
without any medicines.
Best wishes and don't give up.
Dt
