I know that I have to gradually ween myself off of fentanyl. I've been on it for 6 years due to fibromyalgia...currently I have no medical insurance and it cost a few hundred dollars a month for my patches...is there any other type of pain killer that is inexpensive...morphine doesn't work at all...don't even mention percocet or vicodin they do nothing...the withdraw is HORRIBLE from fentanyl..I've tried to commit suicide several times because I couldn't take the withdraw symptoms. I was hospitalized each time. I've tried to take xanax to help with the anxiety ..it didn't help at all. Please only serious answers

I used to have really bad foot pain but i got some special inserts for my shoes and the pain for the most part went away. Now i am not aloud to wear tennis shoes for my job so have to wear black oxford type shoes. The pain is back. With the same insert it dosen't help. What can I do? If the pain is like this I won't be able to work.

When he was younger, my dad had a serious motorcycle accident. It was a miracle that he survived. Anyways, some of the tendons in his arm don't work. He can't stretch out the fingers on his left arm, and keeps them curled in his palm. We've noticed my brother (his son) is doing this aswell. He'll keep his fingers curled up in his palm, just like my dad does. Same hand and everything. When he was learning to crawl, he did the exact thing. He'd pull himself along with his left hand curled, and his right stretched out like normal. I was just wondering, if my dad somehow passed this along to my brother. I didn't think it was possible, but it's so strange for my brother to be doing the exact same thing. Maybe it's just a random coincidence?

If the container is yours, you dont need it, and it was never opened. Can you sell that or give it to someone you know who has a perscription for it, but cant afford it?

I was just wondering if there was any online Doctor help, where you could ask them what your problem is and they will email you back giving you advice in what to do. Cause it saves in going up the doctors really and there may be nothing wrong with you.

She just ate canned tuna fish that had been sitting out about 12 hours. I caught her in time, so she only had a little. Should I take her to the E.R. now or wait to see if she gets sick? I am freaking out!

My files are spread between 5 different doctors at 2 different hospitals and one GP's surgery. And not one of them can tell me what's wrong with me. (I managed to guess that I have a problem with my immune system.) So how can I get my hands on 'em and read for myself?
(Live in England, by the way...)

I tried Allen Carr's book. It was great, but it didn't help me psychologically, when I was stressed out. I tried Zyban and the Nicotine patch. Now, I know I must go deeper and quit cold turkey. Has anyone read any good books about quitting or know of any seminars with hypnosis.
