Right painman. I took that much and couldn't be on my way,anyway... for being in your thread..

Hi all... sorry I haven't been able to sit long enough to respond, and like many of you, I have 2 fingers working,that fumble a lot...
Gerry, My goodness, you've just been through hell!! I don't blame you for not wanting to go back for another procedure. It would be hard for me or any of us to be in a good place, either. We all have a limit for how much we can take and we all need time to breathe, as RRae said to me very recently. Maybe it's okay to know your limits and not have it until you're ready? I I know your husband provides comfort, but does your doctor know how you are managing? Friends? I'm concerned for you and your health. Support is so key to healing, and whether you have the procedure are not, we want you to heal and be out of pain.

I hope to answer some... questions... first, I've taken or tried most narcotics, antiseizure meds.. antidepressants, antispasmodics... and on and on. I could send a list.
I do use fentanyl instead of Oxy for many reasons, especially that it lasts longer,is less psychoactive and doesn't cause as much constipation. Acetomenophen toxicity has already happened! 4g= PTSD! And Neurochic, gastroparesis is not the same as constipation. I had illeus for 8 days last year not do to lack of proper maintenance.. Nope, my gut doesn't respond well to colon blows, even though I occasionally need them. ...at least most you mention. For us with GI issues, it may be more complicated. I am seeing that I probably do have the autoimmune stuff going on now as well... another puzzle.


Anywhoo, prayers for healing your way,

Hana
