Eastex, It took a long time to find the right medication to keep my pain at a manageable level. It 's not perfect of course, as the meds make me very unsteady at times, but if I keep on top of them and don't let the pain get ahead, then life is worth living....and I'm saying that very seriously.
I hope you can keep trying to find the right medication that won't interfere with life too much. Mine just makes me sleepy mainly, and I can't talk or type too well most of the time, but I don't have the awful nausea, disorientation, etc tha the others gave me. Some of them made me so ill I ended up in an ambulance, so I am very careful about which ones I take.
I haven't checked your past posts so forgive me if this has been covered before, but are you scheduled for any surgery or relief of any kind?
Hang in there.
