That does suck, big time..It shouldn't hurt!! But God has given you the love of that precious child.. As always,good comes with the bad hugs PJ

Oh sweetie that is one of the parts that I miss too the big bear hugs that don't hurt!!!

Sweetie, I can relate to that problem. I have trouble hugging my grand kids or even sitting for long nd playing games with them.

Fibro is so unfair. I also dislike being touched. Poor hubby. I can tolerate it for only short periods of time.

I can handle hugs, but not the hugs of a blood pressure cuff. Ouch.

I would love to be able to sleep on my side without pain! I can not even sleep all night in my bed. I sleep on my sofa because it is soft. One day when I can afford it, I want a foam mattress.

The part I hate is not only hurting with the hugs and play with grand kids , yesterday I was at dr office The doctor did not understand the "doughnut hole" thing with medicare.........what he had been giving me was working........the directions were 1-3 caps four times daily as needed.....ok weaning off fentanyl. .....still not received effexor.......he said I had taken too many of those too quick..........now it had lasted me 11 days, which does seem like alot but with the other things going on and the fall i took it still was not as many as his directions allowed. I sat in my doc's office after going to him for three years and he told me I was a junkie and he had made me that way. (I am recovering alcoholic of seven years) he might as well stabbed me in the heart. I got up off of the couch thingy and my best friend stopped me............she thought i was gonna walk out...............actually she kept me from walking out in handcuffs. Seriously. So then the doc looks thru puter to see what else we could try and knowing it all had to come oout of my pocket my question was how much does it cost.....his reply was that he had no way of knowing. He got called out of the room for emergency phone call, I got on my cell phone to my pharmacy, he came in while I was still on phone and my husband told him what i was doing, and he pulls this little gadget out of his back pocket which gives him suggested retail prices of drugs. I am still so so so upset............I don't know how many of you are alcoholics...........but he could have used any word but junkie......and i hadn't done anything but his instructions and those of the other docs he had sent me to. A month ago he had me taking Fentanyl patch...percocet...........demerol...... ......and oxy IR.............I found that the oxy IR with two ibuprofen worked great...........took less than prescribed...........and now i am a junkie......sorrry guys I just am so upset.,...and feel so small, dirty and less than.

wow that is quite a list. why is he giving you such heavy narcotics if he knows your alcohol problem? is he nuts.

it is said you dont get addicted if you are really in pain. i find for myself that is true. but your body sure does react to not having the med anymore.

im so sorry he called you a junkie. but seriously, you are taking some heavy duty stuff there. i wish icould advise some other choices. i can advise to see another dr. this one doesnt sound so good.

I feel so bad for you msbobbi. Geeze I sure would get another Dr. One with some compassion! I understand it is expensive to go to to different Drs, but I have paid the price, and went thru so many!!! I am happy with mine now, he understands.

If he gave you all those heavy drugs then he is the pusher!Right? HUH? My feeling is that, he was not monitoring you well enough!I feel, that if we need the drugs... then we do not get addicted.

Good luck Let us know what you do! We do care about you!

I have argued with him on most of the drugs he has given me especially the patches because I have been through that withdrawl and getting ready to go thru it again.

please do advise some other choices, and he did say he was the one that made me this way but he could have called me anything but that. I will be finding another doc............Ihave been to several myself, this is the kind of stuff they started treating me with to start out, and they all new I was an alcoholic and how much my recovery meant to me

right now just trying to hold on until the Effexor gets here so i can talk/type or anything else without crying.
