Fiona,
I am sorry but i just can't say BM with a straight face!!

Especially reading your post and knowing your history of the prune thing....and Mark's Montezuma's revenge! Please forgive my imaturity!
YES i still take BT meds (Hydrocodone) and I've recently heard that the name brand could potentially be more effective.....I'm currently checking into this.
I do want away from the opioid tho, but i was told from day one that it would be unrealistic to think the SCS will cover all the pain......but so far Mark is transcending all these statistics ! YOU GO BRO!!!
I've been on a month long trial of Neurontin to see if it will help so that I won't have to reach for the Hydro's as often. I've heard mixed reviews on Neurontin.
I'm just wanting something on hand for Breakthru pain other than hardcore meds. I know, pipedream
