Ed,
i'm sorry that i can't remember exactly- it was a small dose because my dr always starts with small doses. i think i even cut it in half because i was nervous, nervous what it would do to me because it's so hard to have parts.
About the pain med that i need for pain control- i'm shocked that this dr wrote to me. It puzzles me and i can't imagine why except that as an oncologist he knew how much pain i was in and could sense my desperation. He might have thought i was suicidal. i don't think he would change his mind after offering to treat me except if another dr called him to give a negative report about me. i've never had addiction problems but to some drs mental health disorders equals the same thing.
how can i ever persuade any dr to give me a certain med. - especially like oxycontin?- my parts don't co-operate with being a self advocate- it's a hundred times harder for me to do something like that than someone that doesn't have parts in conflict like i do.
i was able to function better with oxycontin than anything else that i tried yet.
The morphine is making me feel so sedated and depressed.It's my past experience that drs don't listen or care what i think especially if it concerns meds. as alwas i don't have a choice- there isn't a way to live with the pain.
take care,
kerria
