These darn patches arent working, I see the P.M. next week and hubby is going with me. Hubby said he would tell him they arent and not only that but my insurance wont pay for them, I just wishhe would give me something that would work well. Im so tired of pain I know theres alot of folks out there with the same thing going on in there lives, Its a real shame that we cant have some kind of med that would make it all go away. I need to get up and make dinner but just cant find the energy to do it. But I will because I have to. Im tired so tired today. I laid down for ahile and my hip was hurting so bad, I know I will have to change this patch again but then Im going to run out before next week. I just hate that they cant give me enough to get me through the month. well Im off to cook dinner for my hubby and then watch some TV. its tuesday and they have some new shows starting. I love to watch Ghostwhisper and Moonlight on Friday nights, this is how I spend my time, wake up drink my cup of coffee watch the Today Show, My soaps in between try to do a little around the house, Dishes and sweep my poor back. then more soaps and then Ellen. I get on the computor alot during the day, I belong to a adoption group because of loseing my oldest child to adoption at the age of 16. so I spend alot of time with them online and scince I found this place I try and spend lots of time here.

Patches aren't working
written by Maggie, January 15, 2008
I feel sorry for you MF. What strength patch do you wear? I was on the fentanyl patch last summer and they really helped me. I didn't get relief from them until I was wearing 2 patches at a time - one was 100mcg and the other 75mcg. I had to stop using them because of the rash (really more like a huge hive) and the intense itching. I read somewhere on here where there is a generic version of this patch that doesn't cause the rash but I can't find it now. I was able to get a month's supply at a time. As for your being tired and having the pain in the hip I am with you there. Some days I feel like just throwing the towel in it gets so bad.
