Hey Ricky,

I used to use the fentanyl patch but found some other things that aren't narcotics that works better. Yeah, once in awhile when I need it, I get into the ganga. Oh, don't judge, it does work. I'm now on lyrica, soma, celebrex, clonopin, cymbalta, some sorta sulfa drug for inflammatory bowel, geeze...........I'm a walking pharmacy.

I used to be on 200mg of oxcontin per day. Yes, five pills at 40mg each. I also had oxycodone for breakthrough pain. Plus, the five xanax I was also prescribed. The drugs made me depressed, messed up my brain so bad that my antidepressants wouldn't work, so I had to get shock therapy to get them going again. I'm done with narcotics. I go to a rheumy who injects me with steroids, which help a lot. I know there will always be pain, every damn day and one doesn't get used to it as some idiots think. I pace myself, meditate, try to walk outdoors when I can because exercise isn't really an option.

The lyrica and/or neurontin I found really work the best if one doesn't do narcotics. I hope that helps and good luck to you.

All of my best,

Kelley
