Thanks for all the support eveyone! I really need it. My hubby made the decision for me. I spent the last 7 hours at the er getting shot full of dilaudid. I feel like I'm gonna hurl but it sure helps with the pain. They had to rule out any other cause than MS for the pain. It's the 'hug'. I knew that already but they gotta make sure. They sent me on my merry way with a scrip for lorcet (?) and told me to be sure to take it every 5-6 hours until I see my neuro tomorrow. Thanks so much again.
