Anyway, I don't know if any of this works, but it does for me...so anyway, just a thought. Oh, and I agree completely about narcotics being nasty about all the time. I am to the point where I am tolerant to everything except Oxycodone and Methadone. I hate it...Demerol does nothing to help the pain even anymore. We'll be praying for you. The Duragesic patch is pretty awesome because once it takes effect and you change it every 3 days, most of the time I did not need breakthrough meds...but I stayed sleepy all the time with it, and this was back when I was in graduate school for Social Work and drove two hours one way to an internship...so really it was dangerous to be SO sleepy.
I hope you feel better soon.
