Default Thanks GinnieThanks
Thanks Ginnie,
You are a sweetheart. I know you always respond to my posts. I appreciate all of you on here so much. Chronic Pain is devastating.
You managed to get off morphine? Now you just take Hydrocodone? I was just on the Hydrocodone but was on it for so many years that I have to have continuous coverage because of the physical dependence thing. Plus my pain went from chronic migraines to chronic back, neck, head and pain down my left leg. You know it is the left leg pain that really drives me out of my mind. I often dream that wild animals are chewing on my leg. Do any of you have pain down the leg? The migraine pain will take me right out and is the most acute but the leg pain is going to put me in the mental hospital.
Hope everyone is having a decent day and has all needed meds.
