pain
"I have been dealing with nerve pain left over from shingles about 3 years ago. The rash left but the pain did not. I tried several different narcotic medications from a pain clinic but I had to keep going to the ER for breakthrough pain. I got tired of this game and and got hooked on narcotics: dilaudid and fentanyl patches to name a few. Then I was introduced to an aquaintence who was recieving methadone from a treatment center. I left the pain center (I was not happy with my treatment there) and started methadone and my life has changed 100 percent. I like this medication because it takes care of the debilitating nerve pain and doesn't make me feel fuzzy and out of it as the other medications did. I am a mother and I can't be out of it."
