Hello all

Hello everyone, How's everybody doing? Sorry I haven't written much lately, but I'm having a hard time trying to juggle, my pain control, my work, my relationship with my hubby and my kids, and just trying to be sane through this whole thing. I did find that every since I've been on Oxycontin twice a day that it's really starting to ease my pain where I can actually work again. I bartend at night so my back hurts extremely bad when I get off, but the money's so good it's hard to pass it up. I wish I could find a job during the day where I could be sitting, but I get more time with my children this way. My doctor also put me on Ambien which is a sleeping pill that really helps as well, because I don't wake up in the middle of the night moaning and groaning anymore. Although I do however still wake up in pain everyday at least I'm getting about 6 or 7 hours of sleep straight through. It's so confusing because my rheumatologist thinks I have Fibromyalgia, but to be honest I don't know what the heck I have anymore. I've done some research on it and it's seems to be mostly joint pain along with pain in certain pressure points. Mine is mostly back and in the legs. But ever since I've been on that Oxycontin the pain in my legs has really eased. So, once again I don't know if it's the Endo or the Fibromyalgia that is giving so much grief. Oh well, at least both of my doctors agree that I do need pain medication and also that it's somewhat in control now. The main problem is, is when I get off of work the pain is so out of control that there is nothing that I could take that could ease it, so I wind up taking a sleeping pill. The trouble with that is that I'm in so much pain when I do finally get off, that my hubby doesn't end up getting much attention. I usually just take an Ambien and go right to sleep. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. It's so hard trying to get the strength and energy to try and explain myself to my husband all the time. I wish he could be a little more understanding, but I think he's finally giving up on me. I think because he thought I would be out of pain after my hysterectomy, but unfortunately it didn't do the trick. We both made the decision to get the hysterectomy, and I really thought it would help, but it didn't. I know our communication has really gone down hill since then. I know for a long time most people didn't even know that I still had pain after my hysterectomy. Anyway, I am sooooo sorry, I'm babbling on and on. I'm a little frustrated tonight that's all. I apologize. Hope everyone is hanging in there and my prayers are with you all. Big ((((((HUGS))))))) to you, Sincerely, Wendi Farbstein wfarbs@cs.com
