Thank you, everybody, for all of the wonderful information. I see my doctor in about 3 weeks. I didn't realize that Oxycontin was a longer acting version of Percocet and didn't know anything about Methdone and heart problems, which does concern me, since I have Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, and a long family history of heart problems.

I'm not sure how up front I can be with this doctor, with regard to what you were saying about 'suggesting' medications, so I certainly won't do that, but I'm not sure if I can even say I'm leary about Methadone if that's what he prescribes.

It angers me that I have to 'suss-out' what I can say or not say. I'm so tired of not just being able to go in there and be 'part of' my own care. It's my body, I should have a say in it. I should be given my options, and then be able to make my own choices, rather than just have to blindly follow anything anyone says.

Anyway, thanks for all of your wonderful input. I will keep you updated.

Best,
Caat
