I feel 150% better just in the 2 weeks since my Kadian was bumped to 100 mg twice a day from 60 and what helped more then ever was NS adding the Valium 15 mg a day....so I now have a clean house....cooked a huge Thanksgiving dinner alone....put up the Xmas tree and am thinking of shopping. This all happened in the past 10 days.... plus dyed my hair last night and rolled it, and will do eyebrows today
 .....went from being in bed 90% of the time, hoping for death to take me.....and I am seeing my GP on Friday to get some Reglan and or Zelnorm to get my poor dead bowels moving....the Miralax can only do so much!Thanks so much for everyone of you that took the time to reach out to me when I was in the pits of hell!! Even though I did not seem to care, it actually meant the world to me! Junie, alive again in east Tn!

Yes. I suspect that you might be able to travel the world...one forum member at a time...doing our years of undone housework. I am sooooooo happy for you!!! My new doctor seems to be on the right track with meds that will straighten out my pain to make it more barable too. I am looking forward to that!!! Congratulations!!!

Junie, be careful you don't do too much too fast. I made the mistake many times and paid for it for days after. Congrats on the Kadian....I don't seem to be able to get anything stronger than anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants.
I gotta talk to my pain doc again.....again. Good luck with your new freedom!

Thanks everyone,
My house is by no means spic n span but I was able to do much more then I expected....and I give most of the credit to the valium as the spasms were constant and cprippling! If your docs are blowing you off (like mine were) take a outspoken male figure with you and maybe they will take you a bit more seriously?? I am getting plenty of rest.....don't plan on overdoing it and ending up worse then before....just feels nice to know it won't kill me to get up and cook a meal
