Hi Ed,
I've been so sick. i didn't get your posts. Last night i took 2 immediate release oxycontin for the pain that was getting bad. Then i woke up at 5:30am and the pain was the worst i've ever had in my life- it was incapacitating- it was so bad. It was exactly like i was having surgery without any anesthesia:(
Made tea so it would work fast and took the 40mg oxycontin with two breakthrough oxycodone and stayed still in bed, with some applesauce so i wouldn't get sick. It hurt so much i couldn't even cry, probably i dissociated. After an hour it started to work but it was so bad all that time. The worst.
Then at 7am i started getting violently sick and wasn't able to keep anything down and couldn't go to work. My h called the dr and i was trying to get admitted because i was afraid my stomach wouldn't let me take pain medicine and the pain was so bad. Then i just stayed in bed, the pain meds must have been in long enough to stay down despite losing everything else. i stayed in bed all day because a migraine had started.
It's a little better now. i was able to take the 40 mg oxycontin and one oxycodone breakthrough at 12:30, right after noon- i didn't wait 8 hrs-until the pain became terribly bad again. It was becoming bad at 7 hours. i stayed still in bed and was able to sleep a little.
This is so terrible to be stuck having to deal with severe pain every couple of hours:(
i feel so helpless, getting sick when i take med.Anyways, i wish that i'd read your post and did something with the long-acting pain medicine(Kadian) before going to bed.
The next 40 mg oxycontin dose is due at 8:30pm or at 7:30- seven hours and i'm having pain starting now at 6:30pm.
*** Should i take some Kadian with the 40mg oxycontin? i'm so afraid to get sick again- still trying to eat a little now.Thank you,
k
