[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 171786, member: 1514"] I dont think 3 a day is a lot in my opinion. I think its a matter of dealing with the level of pain. One thing I have learned is to stay ahead of the pain. If you only take the pain medications when the pain is at a 7 or 8 it will take more of the pills to get the pain down to a dull roar than if you take one or two a day and keep it at say a 3 or 4. I hate taking the pain pills. I fought going back on them tooth and nail. When I got my script back I would only take one if I was in such dire pain I was miserable. I ended up getting yelled at by everyone saying that I was putting more stress on my body than what was necessary. Now I am getting by on 2 a day most days. If its really bad it takes 3. I finally got my appointment with the neurology clinic at duke for the end of august and Im hoping they can give me some more clues. I actually want to consider moving to something long acting again because I did much better when I had a steady stream of medication in my blood than I do with having to take a pill every 6 hours.
