i'm glad your doc is responsive to your pain needs.
i agree that taking it will be helpful. it's usually better to get on top of pain rather than to chase it. old nursing advice...

Judy, it's a delicate dance though...that's why I've always been so reluctant to use narcotics.

Debbie - I'm not crazy about starting narcotics either. I avoid them. In fact, I'm not crazy about taking any meds, narcotic or not. ;) But I know I need them. I am only on a couple of meds now for MS and take lorazepam only as needed for bad muscle spasms (I reserve it and take it only when I can't take the pain/spasms). I hope you are feeling better and that the meds the dr. gave you are working.:hug:

Thanks T...I actually haven't tried it yet...the leg spasms have lessened to a tolerable level now. Of course, after sitting for a while I get up and walk like a 90 year old. I yell out "Oil can!! Oil can!!" DH chuckles...
