[tiggerangelgirl]

I know this questions sounds scary at first but believe me this is a chronic problem that I have been dealing with a lot lately.My question is: does anybody know of any ways nateraul medicine,meditation anything that can be done for chronic chest pain.
I am currently on 75mg of fentanyl patch and 8mg dilaudid every four hrs and still I continue to have pretty severe pain.Some might think golly with that medicine you would be knocked out my all my siblings are the same way it takes gigantic amounts of pain medication or seditives to work on us,and it seems every month my pain continues to get worse.
Is this a symptom that anybody had to to thier valves,I know I have an extremly complicated case with the chronic constrictive pericarditis and the trauma from the accident but I have seen much worse than I and people donot suffer with so much pain.Recently the drs took me off from any anti-inflamitory medications because my lungs and congestive heart failure has gotten much worse and those types of drugs make you retain fluid .Im looking for maybe some of mother natures good remedies any,great grandmas antidote,I dont drink so please no answers with alcohol,but I'm willing to try.I stay pretty miserable with the pain,so please post your suggestions I will be here waiting and looking for anything even standing on my head and singing the alphabet backwards,if it would help I'll try .I hope to expect some laughs with a few replys.
thanks will be waiting right here

I wish I had an easy answer. Taking everything your taking and if it's not helping, they need to either up the dose or get you taken care of. That amount of Duragesic and Dilaudid should have you nice and dopey, though I have to admit, Dilaudid never did a thing for me except make me feel dopey and in pain.

Hi Nicole-

With all of your complicated conditions, mixing anything over-the-counter, or from the health food store could mess up your other medications. Call your doctor and describe what you have mentioned here and get some medical direction.

I'm really at a loss as to why your doctors are dragging their feet over getting you permanently fixed up. You seem to be getting more and more symptomatic. What are they waiting for??? Maybe it's time for you to raise a little h---.

I think you've been too nice for too long.
