Hi, have only been on this site for a little over a week. Have a hard time maneuvering around.
Have come to the conclusion, after reading some of the posts, that I am doing better than most. And bless your heart, you have a lot going on too!
My post you read was responding to @gid and sadly they have some serious problems. We had similar problems and I didn't like the care they were getting. Was glad to hear them say they were going to take charge of their care! We all need to do that.
I think we can all learn from each other in this forum.
I appreciate your tip on the coupons. Definitely someone can try that. I do have excellent insurance with Medicare and my Supplemental. Thankfully, I don't pay much for prescriptions either.
I feel absolutely nothing from the 10mcg patch. Are you using a 7.5 milligram patch or a 7.5mcg? I'll be on the 10mcg for three more weeks. Ugh!
I will take all the prayers I can get. We can pray for each other.

@grannytrucker Good afternoon to you. My name is Kaye. The "kayejen" is my daughter, Jennifer. I'm going to visit with her this week-end. It will be about a 2 1/2 hour drive but I can do it if I plan ahead with the pain medication. My "Sweetheart Roger" had a stroke in April of 2024. He is in a nursing home now and Oh! how I miss him. My sister is living with me now to help me in so many ways. My neurologist pain doctor just put me on the 10 mg. a week ago. There is no difference in the pain level so far with going to the 10 mg. When I put the patch on this past Monday, I felt very, very weak. I called my pain doctor and told him about the weakness reaction and he told me to Please give the 10mg a chance for it to work through my body...so I am. I was on the 7.5 mg for 3 months. I look forward to hearing from you and the many others that are suffering with pain. I do read their posts and about what they are taking for the never-ending pain. I use the Goodrx coupons for the patch. Not every pharmacy will honor the coupons. I was lucky to find one (CVS) to honor the coupon. The coupon saved me $35.00. Hug Miss Molly for me.
