Hi I would like to put my two cents in this. Hows her appetite? I to have a spinal cord stimulator. At times I get frustrated with it in fact had it shut off for awhile.Now use it off and now. I too took my meds as prescribed But I always was asking did I take my meds yet? My hubby would say yes dear. than go to my Dr and say you have to increase my meds i'm in a lot of pain and so on and so on.We can go endless with these.I was on opana (oxy morphine) I was on morphine I was on klonpin, welburtin. You name it and my pain was a monster. My family new I was wasting away and so did I. Went to rehab a good one that specialized in chronic pain and realized I didn't need all those.....For those here that know me new the agony and pain I was in...At rehab I would always say but I only took them as prescribed over and over......And they would say right heard that one before. I begin to realize that was indeed true. I could not have a productive life on all that medication. I think it's like the mind playing tricks on me . Some of the meds were before the spinal cord stimulator I have nerve damage so badly I had to get the stimulator readjusted at the manufacturer to a lower tone. When that was done I had a better time with it. My pain doc always offered me meds...powerful meds...addicting meds...after 5 months I was hooked and out of sorts I had to go to the Treatment Center in Lake Worth, FL for 30 days to get off of them. My doc had no system for taking me off the meds or to deal with the withdrawls. I wanted off of them...my decision ( and a wise one ). At one time during the meds I had periods of fainting, never getting out of bed. Currently I am on non-addictive meds and sometimes I wish I was back on them. I feel like I'm addicted to the neuroton because of a lot of pain, so I want to take more. Oh i'm on the lidoderm patches to now and I tend to abuse them to cause my pain is so bad. This is just how my body works for me. Keep us posted good luck.
