ANYONE HAVE AN ANSWER TO THIS???? CONFUSED???

Post by barbaranoela »

yes. in reference to Kait---

The neuro here told Lynn that the OPIATES Kait has been on,for such a long time, COULD be PART of her INCREASED PAIN????

He is suggesting that Kait should be DETOXED???? And then see what happens?????

I Know she is on about 6 diifferent meds. but I didnt know that----Opiates could INCREASE pain---

I know the so called SEIZURES were due to over-dosing but also causing her increased PAIN???

Tell U, this info has me more confused :roll:

Thanks for any input on this???

Hi Barbara,

Long-term use of opiates or opiate-based meds can make the body much more sensitive to pain. The body builds up a resistance to the opiates and the pain thus comes back. My sister experienced this in her last year of life and she just finally took herself off the opiates until the pain got too severe in the last 3 months and then they went to morphine.

After going off the opiates about 2 months later her pain became somewhat less severe.

Kait is going through hell on earth and definitely does not deserve a day of it. If only we could just meet Dr. H in a dark alley.

Love, Maggie
Maggie Scarpone

Thanks Maggie----

I never knew that~~~~~~Tell U coming here has added so many more different opinions~~~~
and its driving me nutz~~~~

Sometimes having KNOWLEDGE can be a bit dangerous--
U see, with *H* she would TELL him what she thought---and here this neuro told Lynn----I AM THE DOCTOR and U ARE THE PARENT!!!

Tell U Maggie----I cant wait to get on the road cus Lynn and Lou are having heated discussions and I am hanging in the *john*

So Lou told Lynn---SHUT your mouth and LISTEN to what the Phoenix neuro HAS TO SAY!!!!

Anyway thanks for the info about the opiates---made sense to me after i READ WHAT u POSTED--

LUVE, BARBARA

Sounds to me like it's time for Lynn to "shut up & listen" for a while. Give this new guy a chance.

And it sounds like this doc is looking at the whole picture! Sounds like Kait has a rough road ahead of her, but hopefully they will get her going on the right path and it will lead to smooth sailing for her.

Hugs :bigbighug:
