How to deal with constant pain for years

I'm sorry it hasn't been much help. I take Hydromorphone orally, as opioids are the only meds that have done much of anything for my CIDP.
I think that if fentanyl were the only remaining option for me I would probably try it in spite of the scary things we read in the news. My sister wore a patch for several years. With the pump, the risks are certainly lowered, but it can still be a hard decision. I hope you find relief.

Like you, the thought of fenanyl scares the dickens out of me. If it were safe and actually helpd, I MIGHT consider it. I don't understand how a powerful opioid like hydromorphone doesn't seem to touch this pain. In the back of my mind I keep thinking Lyme's. I have had it several times and always test positive, but this Western blot test doesn't have enough positive lines to be considered positive. I just have to wonder. My pain has spread to other places in my body.
