Hello everyone. thanks for having me here.
DJNJax is my DJ Nick name. Been into it for years now. Iam a disabled pensioner now. Daily life is hard to deal with. I hope i can some useful info here to help me
Ive been on opiate type medications for over 8 years now. Before i had major spinal surgery i was ok. well enough to exersice and walk daily. Now iam in real trouble with my health and it seems to me the health department does not care. I would like to tell my story and i think over time i will.
I have Kyposis (Hunch Back) condition from birth. not until i was 20 years old did i expirience pain enough to need medication. i was on tramadol for 4 years before surgery.
then after 16 screws and 2x 30cm rods called Harrington Rods they screwed up the surgery. bad mrsa infection. If you google Spinal Fusion Harrinton Rods you will see its pretty much the biggest Surgery 1 can almost have.
had just moved to Brisbane City i didnt have a GP/Doctor apon leaving hosptial. My new GP put me on Oxycontin. 80mgs x2 per day. then in stead of presscribing another dose amount she told me to cut the 80's in half and take half during the night if needed. After about 12months of this i had no problems but then started to gain a tolerance
i was 84kgs walking into Brisbane Hospital.
After i got into trouble with Oxycontin they put me onto methadone. The nightmare of Oxycontin withdrawl was bad. I know that first hand. However, Methadone does not work for all Pain Patients and iam 1 of them. In Australia they only prescribe Methadone/Biodone once a day.
Iam now on 190mg or 38mls. I started on 90mg and in the past 18months doubled. Its been nothing less then a nightmare. Iam now 170kgs from the issues i face daily. i think when i was transffered from Oxy to Methadone i was under-dosed for 2 years. bad withdrawls daily and real high pain levels
I had never been into Herion drugs in my life. i used it 5-6 times when i got into my Oxy problem. I never dreamed that if the hospital could stuff up your spine then at least they would treat you the right way afterwoods. Ive been made to feel like a lepor from the very begining.
While i was on oxycontin they moved me back and forward to MS Contin, MS Mono and i found Morphine Sulphate to be less usefull then Oxy
i just found this site and was hoping i could find some answers. I don't want to die living like this. My family has already suffered enough over the past 20 years with my brother and sister passing. My Identical Twin Brother passed when i was 13 in 1991 from Asthma and my sister aged 16 1989 from Herion overdose. (ran away from home and got involved with the wrong people, she was not an addict) Herion can kill from your first time using it. All my life i have never liked anyone or anything to do with it.
I live with my father who is my Carer. Yet he is sick himself after pancreatic cancer and now bad diabeaties. Its just me and him and even though he has been through Cancer and the rest I still have less quality of life then he does. How can people be treated like this>
I have bad stomach ulcers now. each day iam sick and need to settle before i can even think about taking the dose. For those people who think Methadone is great for pain. All pain is different and does react differently then the next from all medications.
Before surgery i had serious pain. But now i know it was nothing compared to what i go through daily now.
hope to chat with some of you peeps here. i think it could really help me with my issues. Doctors know that iam in alot of trouble health wise yet Australian Laws with Methadone they just want to keep me on it. I hate it.
last thing i was to say here is this. 190mg each day and as soon as i take it i know iam High as a YOU KNOW WHAT... Being High does not equate to Pain Releif/Management. They say its got a long half life etc.. But i shit you not, ive been on Methadone for 5 plus years and its been the same thing every single day. 3-4 Hrs after i have this medication and iam in all sorts of shit. Pain that is.. Then even 2 hrs sometimes.
They call it Breakthrough pain? Its just not working and never has, nor will it. I can't keep going up and up in dose.
The best drug ive found for pain is Oxycontin. I went from 160mg per day Oxy to 240/320 per day and down again. It has been crazy yet i know its just Magic when it comes to real pain relief. however its also evil.

- I am sorry you have serious pain on a daily basis. Feel free to PM me any time if you want to talk about it. For the first half of 2011, I was in severe acute pain and it was horrible, but I have since recovered (I broke two bones by slipping on a very small patch of ice - had surgery as a cast wasn't an option).
