Most of the time I believe my pain is going to do what it wants with my meds or without them. My eye has been a constant reminder that it is involved with issues of it's own. I haven't gone to a regular ophthalmologist, I see a Dr. who also does Laser surgery, retinal eye treatment etc. I have been going there each month for five yrs. Due to the dry eye effect, He put a plug in the corner of that eye. He took it out, and then he put a permanent plug in. My eye right now is on an even keel, although when it gets blurry I use drops.
The medications, Some of them I take three tiimes a day,
1. Hydroxyzine
2.piroxicam
3.Neurontin (Gabapentin)
4. Lyrica
5.Amitriptyline
6. requip ( for restless leg syndrome
7. paxil
8. Alegra
Dr. weaned me off narcotics ( methadone , oxycontin, morphine suckers )
I have more pain now without the narcotics but I was doing some strange thing. I fell out of my chair several times because I was leaning way over to the side. I would fade in and out several times each day. Anyway, I wasn't even safe during this time. Let me know how you are doing. I could probably answer some questions as I have gone through much.
Truely a believer, Dbug7
