Thanks for this suggestion. I'll look into, likely get a RX and have it on hand. Does it have any side effects? Does it cause constipation? Isn't that a thing with such meds? Other than the addition issue that one needs to be aware of of course. Also, does it completely take your pain away? If so, does it leave you numb mentally? I would need to be aware all day, that's the problem. And it sounds like it lasts all day, or 24 hours. Sorry for all the questions, but it's always better to speak to a live person who is taking it rather than read about it online, especially when that person has symptoms similar to your own.

For me it is seductive, I have a better day all round on it and sometimes the day or so after I miss it. That's the psychological draw of it to be aware of. It does just provide an extra bit of happiness!
