I think it's been months since I've had more than one good day in a row.

I had even called last week and had my pain dr appointment moved up 5 days to this Thursday because of the pain.

My head is still 'clear' today so I know I'll be able to handle the pain better today.

For the last week I've been taking 1/4 of a oxycodone when I take my morning ER morphine. Then a few hours later I'll take another 1/4 or 1/2 depending on how I feel. I do that for the rest of the day until late evening.

I am hoping he will raise my 15 mg ER morphine to 30 mg ER on Thursday.

Good news ! I felt so good Saturday I called my daughter Christina, and asked if she wanted to head to the next town up and look at a pool ! And I BOUGHT one ! Need to call the decking people today and I have an installation date of April 8th unless the weather interferes.

So to my dear Bubba.....you loved to play the lottery......I'm using what you would have spent on lottery and buying the family a pool ! That will be my lottery and I'm naming the pool Bubba.....a pool needs a name too right ?

Hi Debi,

Your news about the pool is fantastic! I am so happy for you. Also, I love that your naming the pool "Bubba".

In regards to the small fiber neuropathy pain I think what happens is that the medicine masks over the pain but when you put pressure for a prolonged period on the damaged nerves that pain will break through eventually causing you to have a bad day or two and then the whole cycle repeats itself. I may be wrong but that's my theory based on my own experience with with the nerve pain.

Wishing you better days ahead.
