Michele - may I ask why you were taking Vicodin? Was it for the RA ?

I'm renewed my appreciation for the sticky herbal medicine this year. It's been a miracle for me.
It's helped me get through some of the worst D pain I've ever experienced, really taking my mind off the anxiety of the next attack. There's nothing like it for nausea and pain, and kudos to you for being open minded about your management of your health and quality of life. 
You know I think the world of you, Michele, and your ability to cope and adapt really makes me proud to know you. Screw this illness crap, and here's to a better 2007.

I started taking vicodin a few years ago for the extreme pain of my IBS. IT was just an occasional thing and a relatively low dose. Than, as the ra, or whatever the hell I have, got worse the pain was awful so I pretty much take it everyday. Some days I take more than others. The rheumy just gave me Norco, which has the same hydrocodone as the vicodin but a bit of a different formula and a bit stronger. I have a few oxycodone but we are trying to hold off on those because once you go to those, there really isn't anything else after that!

as I'm running late for an appointment! The doctor said the Lyrica and Neurontin are very similar. The Lyrica is a newer version of Neurontin. I haven't gotten it filled yet.
More tomorrow......
