I still have another month of medication before I see my doctor again. I sure hope he will listen to me. This depression is going to kill me. I have to be able to get out of this house a little bit and the only way I can do that is by overlapping my meds. Hopefully he will see that me being functional at all and leaving my house is the most important thing. I will let you know how it goes after I see him again.

Hi guys,
I wanted to let you know I was able to get my doctor to increase my pain meds to 75 30mg MS Contin per month. That means I have 15 extra pills a month. I can take 2-3 pills a day for 15 days out of the month. Not great but better than nothing. It does help me to be able to get out of the house and be more active on the days that I can take an extra pill. Thanks for the advise. It helped a lot. Hope you are all doing well and your pain is manageable. Brain
