Hi Doug,
Reading your description of how you had to take several doses of your hydrocodone to finish a project reminded me of how my pain meds allowed me to function after my car accident. I had previously mentioned being on ms contin and seeing a pain doc, but that all came about after completely shattering both knee caps and a severe head and chest injury. Until I saw the pain doc, I couldn't function as a Mom and take care of my house and animals (including a horse) never mind work. My ortho doc would only give me hydrocodone and celebrex (which caused asthma) and against his, my internist and my shrink's advice I went to the pain doc. Once he had started me on ms contin and adjusted the dose for the tolerance that grew I was able to completely take care of my responsibilities. After 2 surgeries and physical therapy, I gradually tapered down after a year. During that year, my mood was the best it had ever been and my panic attacks non-existant. And considering the stress I was under- that's quite remarkable. Anyway you most certainly have nothing to feel guilty about just as I didn't. I hope this regimen continues to benefit you. take care, judy
