Hi first time poster,long time lurker. I was having too much trouble making this post on my phone so I had to switch. I am in a world of hurt. I have been doing opiates for,over 5 years because of back pain and my wife who has several autoimmune conditions having and abundance of opiates. This past spring I had an MRI and my back has ruptured discs, bulgiing discs, straightening of the spine and spinal stenosis...in both my cervical and lumbar.
I have a really high tolerance inmo as I function well at my Job and life in general on doses (my wife's meds) of approximately 300mg of oxymorphone a day insuufalated or 8 1600mcg of,subsys (fentynal) a day. I hate the subsys because the craving is tremendous, it hits you quickly but only lasts 4 hours. My pain doctor (same as my wife) started me on norco and then moved me to mc contin ( morphine ER) 60mg every 8 hours. Because of my tolerance and my wife blowing through her subsys I had to share mine with her. Well, now she is in the hospital skipping the withdrawal with her "autoimmune go to the hospital card" while I am left to watch the kids and figure out how to work in pretty bad WD and no one to,watch my daughter. I'm a teacher and tomorrow is my first day back and going in feeling the way I do is not a good idea.

Been on Imodium since Wednesday which helps gastrointestinal but nothing oc is,helping my back. If ia out of line withmy post then someone tell me and I will delete. Please no flaming, I'm suffering and I do not need to hear we have all,gone through it toughen up. It is,my back making this insufferable.
Thanks
