Hello Michael,

I was in a motorcycle accident in 2003. I still own my house out in Sacramento, I'm still hoping fora miracle. After all the broken bones, torn liver, ruptured kidney and punctured lung healed. I developed RSD/CRPS. I was lucky that I had a really great Doc who tried me out on different drugs. I have been on Methadone for 5 years now. I take 300 mg Lyrica per day, 30mg/40mg Methadone per day depending on how bad the pain is. I never got any kind of high or dizziness from it at all. I rarely take the extra pill. I had many concerns about the dependency factor, but I have tried going without the Methadone. The pain goes up in a serious way. I have done the same thing with Lyrica and I have the same result. In the beginning, I was on Norco and that worked for the first 2 years. Then it stopped working. Oxycontin didn't work for me at all. Morphine didn't work either. I get the best result from the Methadone, Lyrica and Cymbalta. This pain however is insidious, it never stops it is sooooo sooooo painful. I will keep on looking for something else until I can get some relief. Have you ever tried Hyperbaric treatments? I'm not sure why I never had any kind of problems with the Methadone, but right now I can't do without it. Let me know if you have ever heard of Hyperbaric treatments.
