Thanks!
Interestingly, I have been on opiates for over 13 years. I have kept the baseline of MS Contin the same or less. I have increased the dilaudid frequency.

Once I have had a few days of clonidine, I can taper the dilaudid dose down and go back to using it more like a "prn" med, which is was meant to be.

We will see what happens with the sweats, it's looking like clonidine has gone to work on them again, as they are less intrusive.

I am more concerned about the tachycardia which keeps showing up. It was documented in the ER and in office visits.
My thyroid labs are fine. Clonidine seems to help the tachycardia, as well.

Thanks again, mrsD.
