Jean -- Please tell me what kind of PHYSICAL pain you have. Is it spinal, cervical, what is it? And what medication are you PRESCRIBED? I don't want to know what you take over the counter -- I want to know what your doctor prescribes.

Now -- what does your doctor PRESCRIBE for your emotional pain? And what is your diagnosis? Is it depression? What do you take? (prescripton only)

You might be UNDER medicated. If that's true, then you need to have a good chat with your doctor. Sometimes we have to sit them down and tell them exactly how SEVERE our pain is! It's a FACT that they sometimes just don't understand! I know mine didn't, until I finally sat him down, even after about 2-3 years of being his patient, and it made me mad, but I collapsed in tears. I hate it when I cry but I couldn't help it. I was both mad and sad that he didn't understand -- and when I started crying, I think it FINALLY made it thru his thick skull that I was REALLY in pain! So he changed my medication and lo and behold I've been more "comfortable" (and I use that term loosely) than I've ever been.

So if you ARE undermedicated, you need to talk to your doc. STOP TAKING ALL THIS OTC medication!!! You're eating your stomach out!!! Your stomach cannot tolerate this kind of stuff! You're going to start bleeding from the stomach pretty soon if you keep this up!

So let us know what you're taking. Maybe we can help, ok? God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
