Norma:
I know some of what you go through and I am so sorry. I don’t know if you see a doctor for this or not but it seems that the miracle drug for both of these afflictions is Vioxx. You have to have a doctor’s prescription for it.
Now is you are already on it and you are still having trouble coping well I probably can give you lots of suggestions because I live in excruciating pain 24/7 from several problems. I couldn’t take anything strong enough to even lighten my pain so I have been creative and made up many ways that I have taught myself to deal with pain and am coping great. Sure I hurt but I function all day. I can’t do what normal people do but I am up from 5am to 12midnight and I could never do that before I taught myself these coping skills.
Since you didn’t put what you are looking for I gave you the Vioxx and if you are ever in need to know how to cope either without the medication or with it just write me and I will write it up for you. It is quite lengthy so I don’t want to write it if you are not in need of it. So I will wait and see what you say. I hope I helped you with the Vioxx and that you get out of pain very soon. Pain is the most crippling thing I can think of in people. It takes away your whole life and personality. You are no longer a part of life just watching. It is sad for the millions of us who live in terrible pain without much support from anyone.
So I hope I have helped some or can be of some help.
I do care what happens to you so let me know that you are either all right or that you wanted something different from me and tell me what that is and I will be more than happy to help you until the pain is under control.
