Thank you both for responding. I have tried Fentanyl early on and it made me sick so we dumped it and moved on. I think it might be something that I might want to go back to considering how my mood was today. Kitty I havent heard of actiq. Do you have any side effects of it? I know with my meth I have to use it as a maintenance dose, so, Im taking it about 3 to 4 times a day and it seems that the little demon isnt satisfied. So Im going to have to switch it up a bit. Kitty when you take you meds with a pop or soda do you disolve them into it before drinking am I getting that wrong. It would make sense that it would help with your pain because your getting rid of the coating that makes the med disolve slower in your body. I just want to thank you both again. This demon is taking a toll on my family and my marriage. Especially when we found out that my wife has RA too. So we are struggling to keep things together and raise two teens and a tween and two older ones in college and getting married and all the other stuff life throws at you. May God bless you both and give you the mirracle of healing thank you
