Re: Please Explain Breakthrough Pain Medication, Plea

Wow, he's going to love this suggestion.
Iknow for fact that MS Contin only lastes 8, at the most, mime hours. Like I said before that the dosage level is okay on a good day, but when the weather is changing or I sleep funny or try on clothes, The pain in the thracic comes back like female cat in heat. I've also had a constant dull ache in the lumbar area, presumably where the degeniation is, So can you prescribe me to yake the 60mg pills 3 times a day, so I don't have to wory about waiting the hours of interlude until the next dOSE?
I've also been reading about breakthrough pain in cancr sifffererrs and how some of the same effects are gfelt in the chronic pain paopulation. Most of the people I have chatted with vouldn't believe I didn't have a brakthrough pain medication for those days when the pain is bad I can't leave my bed. According to a website refence I got, the breathrough mecidation should equal 10-15 % of the patient's daily maintain ence dose. One patient said that his breakthrough dose for 300mg MSContin was 30mg of plain ocycodone with no tylenol. There is also a liquid form of morphine I could use if I would need a breakthrough dose that isn't available in pills.

So, can I please have a script for 120 60mg MS-Contin and 3 15 mg pill of oxyfast?

Of yeah, and how did that autimmune disease and nuclear0whats its blood test from last visit go?

I may have to spiff that up a bit.
