Dear Karen, welcome aboard, I wrote you a nice long letter which I
accidentally deleted, but the bottom line was oxycontin is okay if you
really need it. Don't guilt trip over it. I take it too and it helps. Its
not just for cancer, its for severe pain, which you must have, or you
wouldn't need it. And yes, acupuncture is great. It's very relaxing and it
helps while you're there. But as soon as you leave it starts hurting again.
It's worth a try. I bought my own needles and did it myself for awhile. I
think that's illegal, so I can't really recommend it. Please try whatever
you think might help. (using common sense and caution of course, and I'm not
a doctor, just a lady in pain) With kindest regards, Sally
