there are alot of drs that do believe this. period and wont or refuse to change their minds.

the only time that i take different pain meds is when there is a horrible flare. and the only other thing that i can take is percoset . which does make me sick and have to meds not to be puking my guts up. but other than that. i try not to take alot of pain meds besides my pump. but there are alot of times that im in just pure Hell and then it starts to barrel out of control for me and then there goes my mobilites and all.

i do like other say guided imaigry and things like that bio feedback hasnt worked for me maybe im just a crazy LOL

i also try to do things like applying heat and takes baths when i can with epson salts or just sitting in the dark and trying to concentrate on pushing the pain away. this isnt for everyone and it has taken me years to be able to do this

i hope that you get some reliefe soon
