The pain in my body has gradually been getting worse - started taking Darvocet years ago, now am on a Duragesic Fentynal patch and Lortabs, along with a handful of other meds, for Hasimoto's, Cholesterol, Vitamin deficiencies, bipolar and manic depression. My back, hands, legs, feet and neck ache most everyday - always a different area and always different pain, some days are better than others. Depression changes as well with the pain. Continue to work full time and have two grown children. Since 9/17/09, went on Diability for severe depression. The pain continues to worsen, haveing some female problems with severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Bladder Incontinence. Going back into Psycho therapy at the request of my psychiatrist. Going to see a specialist for urodynamics to check the bladder, had two biopsies done on the uterus 9/19/09 - hoping the rheumy will increase pain meds since they don't seem to work all the time. I see him on 10/13/09. Will keep you up to date.. Thank you for letting me share.
