For Sue,
Sue,
Typing so much when you are in pain yourself is just so sweet of you. I have a thing about pain meds. I don't want to become "addicted" to them. Around here you run into so much trouble trying to find someone who will prescribe them. And I do understand why.
But I also don't want to get caught in a pinch needing a medicine that is reasonable for me and be unable to get it. I found myself in this position years ago before my knee replacements and let me tell you, withdrawal without help is it's own kind of *ell.
Mentally..it's just something I'm having trouble doing again. I have to drive 50 miles to just see a pain specialist. Scheduling appointments and mail order prescriptions creates all kind of issues with my other medicines. They won't refill some of them until you are down to the last few pills. And just this last week, we discovered the special mail order pharmacy didn't receive my Humira prescription. So we are up against the wire with getting a new prescription, getting it mailed, their processing and special shipping for a medicine that has to be refrigerated from them to us.
That's one of the reasons I was looking for info for a pump. But I really don't know what all is involved with a pump. I guess I need to google and research. It might make me change my mind.
Well enough about this subject. We'll move on to something else.
Billye
