Tish,
First thing is the ER dr is an idiot!!! Anti-inflammatories is almost
laughable but it hurts to laugh so I won't. Tish, you have been such an
angel to everyone, maybe I can help you this time. I just started the
patch last week and I can't tell too much difference either. The first
one made me really sleepy for about 4 hrs then it felt like it wasn't
working. I really think that you need to call your dr and let him know
what is going on since it has been helping until now. There is
absolutely no reason to suffer through because you have already done
that for years. Please call your dr and let me know what he says. I am
seeing my dr tomorrow to see if they will up my dosage since this one
does not seem to work. I will let you know what he says. God bless and
please know that we are here for you.
