"K",
Yes there are side effects to the oxycontin, I have mitro-valve
prolapse, and sometimes the oxy really makes my heart rate fast so I take my
heart meds for that, and when I first started on it I had bad headaches so
the doc gave my Migrazone for that and I still experience nausea at times so
I take promethazine as needed for that!!!! But it does ease the pain most of
the time. I am like you I just want to stay out of bed and be able to do
things like I used to. I am turning 33 next wed. and feel like an old lady, I
even walk with a cane most of the time because I fall a lot. The doctor told
me today that he thinks that during my last surgery in Feb. That apparently
some nerves were "sewn up" when the opened me up vaginally, and that is
causing the pains that run up and down my legs and up through the vagina. It
seems that it is always something new I just want to feel normal!!!!! Also
like you when I do have a half way good day, I just want to get out of bed
and do everything, but when I do I suffer miserably afterwards. I feel like
my kids are suffering too, because they have had to take on so much
responsibility lately, they do the grocery shopping, banking etc. That is
what I told the doctor today, that something just had to give somewhere
because this "disease" is not only affecting my life, but theirs too. Well
here's to answers I hope we both get really soon and relief too!!!!!!!! Have
a comfy night.
LOTS OF PAINFREE HUGS,
