Today was not to bad, only a 6 to a 7 as far as pain goes.  I am so tired of trying to fight with my doctor about changing my medication schedule to a shorter time for my patch.  I use to wearit and change it every 48 hours, but since I have moved, had an epidural series, and changed from 48 hours to 72 hours and then moved again, my new doc won't change the schedule back to every 48 hours as I was not on that schedule when I first started seeing him.  Talk about "good, sound, reasoning"....totally bummed!!
