Chronic Pain
"I am a 67 year old female with  Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy, arthritis and degenerative disc disease.  I started using prescribed hydrocodone pain medication about 7 years ago.  I had a major surgery for a complex hernia.  I was placed on oxycodone and the doctor continued it due to all the other pain.  We tried several different medications.  Lyrica caused a seizure and, according to  medical records, I took my clothes off and was violent with the EMT&#039;s . Most medication has caused these strange effects.  Oxycodone is all that has worked.  The pain I have is bad enough that without relief I have suicidal thoughts. I can&#039;t live with the pain.  I take 40 mg LA and 60mg SA daily.  It is a miracle medication and terrified it will be discontinued."
