Chronic Pain-Sympathetic Nervous System,  10+ years- is the result of a "Surgical Misadventure" to quote the surgeon..........

cymbalta,  welbutrum,  lyrica,  and SUBOXONE. This drug is used in Europe for severe chronic pain and I went to it as a last resort. Thank God for it!!!!!!!

About Me

43 when my life was taken by pain.  Last 10 years do not exist for me, as I was on so much med and in never ending pain. I have managed to keep working (Jr. High SS Teacher) through it all, But at a HEAVY PRICE. I have no memory of my daughter being in Jr High or most of her High School years. She is now a Soph. in college. I told my wife of 20 years she could leave me and I would understand since I was more of a boarder than husband.  Luckly she did not. One year ago at the advice of my pain Doc I went through detox and began using Suboxone. Detox was the HARDEST thing i have ever attempted  but lord it was worth every bit of it.  I will go weeks at a time with no pain or breakthroughs. It is as though I have awaken from a coma or really long (10 year) sleep.  I sleep good, eat good, feel good, LIFE IS GOOD (again). I am willing to discuss any aspect of my "Surgical Misadventure" if any person so desires. BAT
