Heart Update on Dew via PM appt 4/28/09: Opana ER???

Well, again I was told by my PM doc that I will never be cured of RSD/CRPSI. I KNOW!!!

PM Doc also told me that blocks would not help me..would probably harm me at my stage of the disease.He stated, WC made you wait too long to have remission as a possibility. (too far gone)

Wheel Chair: I have to have lawyer deal with this issue. Doc wants me to stay as mobile as possible. Doc said the electric chairs can not be scripted for my condition,as in my current disease status. ( not far enough gone)

Also,PM doc added a new med in my already bountiful cocktail glass:

OPANA ER 10 mg. tablets taken twice a day..along with my other meds!
In Morphine family. I will see him again in 4 weeks, at which time he will bump up the mg. on the OPANA ER ( Oxymorphone;Time released).

Also, all my other meds will be scripted for 3 months and I will most likely be MMI. My maintenance schedule is to see him every 3 months..indefinitely.

I feel nausea and drowsy at the moment...at the same time

Are/Have any of you taking/taken Opana ER? If yes..what is your opinion on this pain med?


Talk to you all later.
Dew
