Cindy,

In my (dumb-assed, layperson's) opinion, taking fast-acting meds on a daily basis for long-acting pain is not reasonable when we have long-acting meds that more closely match our serum levels to our pain levels. IMHO, if you need breakthrough meds every day, you are defeating the purpose of the time-release meds.

I'm glad you are getting someone to work with you on this... please keep us posted.

Mark
