Thank you so much, Larry. You are the only person to give me an exact answer. i'm so very relieved that i know now and i know that i didn't take too much. The kadian was spoiled i think so i had a bad reaction.
The avinza works really well, despite being expired in 2005 and i was able to get by with a lot less morphine than the equilavent somehow. i took one 90mg and three 60mg (270mg) and it worked for 24 hrs. As it was wearing off this morning i was able to get to drs and pharmacy to have oxycontin again.
i know now that the pelvic pain is still very bad. It's impossible to live without pain relief.
I'm so very sorry about what happened to you two years ago and can't imagine going through that. Whyever did your dr put you through that? It's terrible to treat someone like that- yes- i think you're right about drs not understanding what it's like. no one understands except those who have experienced severe pain and withdrawal themselves. They should try to understand, then they would help. i think my dr tries to understand.
Larry, i'm glad that things are improved now through the other ways that you're trying. It's so horrible to live in severe incapacitating pain.i wish i didn't have the pain and could do without the medicine and the side effects but i am in severe pain and need the medicine so much now. i had surgery about two years ago that wasn't successful in helping the pain but should look at other options too.
Thanks again Larry. You're the best.
Take care,
kerria
