My Dr Visit Today

Went to pain dr this morning before work and he asked how I was doing,...I told him miserable!!! He asked what was wrong and I said I hurt!!! He asked where? I said it would be easier to say where I didn't hurt. He said ok. I didn't say anything. He said that bad huh? Yes!!! So he sent me for blood test and put me on cymbalta starting tonight along with the vicodin. He said he thinks it may be fibro but not sure. The blood test should tell what it is or rule out. So now we wait til the results come in at the end of the week. Mean time I am hurting.

Connie I asked him about that medication you take and he said with me working it would NOT be a good thing for me to take. So for now I am using the cymbalta and vicodin. He said I should have some relief with that and he would see me in a week.

So that is all my news for today. Going to go TRY and relax in my chair with my feet up. Maybe get some food in me...Thoughts and prayers for those that need them!!!

I found the Cymbalta helped a lot. I started on 30 mg ... it cut things about a third; then my doc upped it to 60 mgs and I noticed a marked improvement, not only in a lessening of pain but in my focus, concentration at work, etc. I think it's a miracle drug. Now, there are still days when the pain is bad. But it's not every day.

Good luck.

He is starting me out on 30mg for 7 days then going to 60mg. I was getting the heaves last night after taking it. He said I could still take the vicodin which I did, but wonder if the combination made me sick like that? I do feel a bit better today though so will try again tonight and see what happens.

Thanks Eileen!

Judy....hope the doctor gets you fixed up soon. My doctor tried me on Cymlalta....I was allergic to it....as I am to about 15 other meds.....hard to find something that will work for me.
The Flexaril works great but it does make me sleepy most of the next day. I just can't take it if I have to go somewhere.
I don't have any other choice.
If you want information I could send you some but I would want it back as it was from my class...very helpful.

Love you...prayers and more hugs....connie d

Connie I was sick last night after taking it....not sure if it was taking it with the vicodin or not but I will try it again tonight and see if it happens again. I do feel a bit better today though. If I get sick tonight I will call the dr tomorrow morning and let him know what is happening.

Hold off on the info until I find out IF I have it or not ok? :-)

Love you too!!!
