[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 188221, member: 1991"] On the subject of the site censor - it also, for some weird reason, censors "p*o*l*i*t*i*c*i*a*n". OK, I think a lot of them are obscene also, but not perhaps in that way... With taking strong medications for strong pain - it's possible you may need to get difficult child referred to a pain specialist, Kjs. They mightn't be able to fix the underlying problem (although they're not above trying) but they canat least find ways to manage it in the meantime. Also, the best advice I ever got from doctors about managing pain - hit it hard and fast, and chances are you will end up taking LESS strong medications because you won't have to keep taking it for as long, with that particular episode. For example, if I'm having a really bad day with pain, I am authorise by my pain specialist to take an extra tablet early on, to try to knock the pain back to manageable levels. Then if the pain begins to get bad again, it's easier to knock it back down with a smaller dose. I don't like taking pills. But I REALLY don't like being in pain. I found tis to be the best compromise. If I wait until the pain is unbearable, often I'm in too bad a state for the medications to work and I end up taking a lot more than I would have, if I'd got onto it early. It's like darning your favourite jumper when you see a tiny hole - get the wool and needle out at the first sign of a hole, and the mend is almost invisible. But if you delay, the hole can sometimes be too big to repair easily, and it leaves a scar in the jumper. AND uses more wool! Marg [/QUOTE]
