Try some moist heat or ice for the ON. I know its not the greatest, but it may get you a little relief  I'm sending low pain wishes your way. Take good care, EE |
I hadn't posted in awhile because I had my hands full with my son being really, really sick, the holidays and some deadlines I had to meet for work. I was up to my ***** in aligators.
The patches were okay for about the first 2 weeks, aside from some nausea which I had meds for. My ON was a bit better. Then the itching started and now I realize I shouldn't have ignored it. I think part of why that happened was because with my MS I have altered sensation and something really has to be bad before I feel it. (With the exception of my hands which always feel pain, even when that's not really the correct response.)
Anyway, I am 99.9% sure it's the fentanly doing it. Since I stopped the patch on Saturday, it's not gotten any worse.
THanks for checking in on me.
