I have SFN and am just beginning my journey. My quality of life right now is not very far about zero and without the vicodin there would be none. I doubt I'd even be able to speak because of the pain I would have.
Susanne.....I also have a family dr that we've seen for years. She strongly suggested that I put myself on a pain mgmt. schedule with the vicodin but I didn't listen to her initially and just took it when I could not take the pain anymore. I have since learned she is correct in pain mgmt. Neuro's do not like to give out pain meds and mine of only 4 visits is one of them. He doesn't like the fact that I'm taking something but didn't tell me to stop....which I would not have anyway. I now take 1/2 a vicodin every 3 to 4 hours and have to add 1/2 Xanax when it's really bad. The pain still doesn't go away but it taps it down a little. My hope is that Emory in Atl (my first visit is not until March) will be able to help me and maybe I won't always be on opiates but I also know there is a chance I will be. Sorry to hijack the thread but just wanted to put my 2 cents in  Debi from Georgia |
