Is anyone on Butrans patches? I am supposed to start one today and wondering what everyone's experiences has been on them. I am also on a slew of other meds including lyrica, tizanidine, celebrex, cymbalta (new too) and hydrocodone. All of my doses were increased at my PM appt yesterday due to spreading and worsening of the disease as well as sleepless painful days and nights. I'm hoping something helps soon...

If you're on Butrans how do you handle the heat sensitivity? Do you still swim or do water aerobics? Do you go to the pool or beach in the summer? I know those are minor logistics if it does work.
