Hi Nelly! I have taken tylenol#3 and vicodin for pain. The first time I had doubling over pain, I had D, then waves of pain. I was home alone with my little boy. I couldn't even think straight. My mother-in-law finally came to watch him while I drove myself to the hospital. At that point, the pain had actually subsided some, or I wouldn't have been able to drive. I felt like I was in labor, for crying out loud! Since then, the 2 attacks I've had have lasted 6 hours each, almost to the dot...weird, huh? I had another one that started out the same way, but only lasted about 1 hour- much to my surprise. I was lucky on that one. I am so wiped out afterwards, though. I don't think my husband really understands, but he does his best. The attack I had down at the shore scared my mom to death. I think if I hadn't of had access to vicodin, I would have had to go to the hospital. The anxiety is the worst part.
That being said, I think I am luckier than most...now that I am finally in "remission" I feel good. I am still very careful, but have "low levels" of pain only 2-3 times a week. These episodes only usually last for about 20 minutes- after I have eaten something I shouldn't have. Then I stay away from that food item!
I hope all of you out there are feeling good today!
