I did not see Dr. Amit Sood's website, Can you send again if you have a chance?
I did do research on Oxymorphone and I called my Pharmacist. I do have some of the side effects, very anxious, depressed crying constantly. Husband said I look stoned and he does't like it. I told the Pharmacist I was confused she said, not good call dr. on Mon. I hate calling him! With Adhesive Arachnoiditis it effects the Hormones so I need, [good luck] a Endocrinologist who will listen??? I didn't take the Oxy this morning. try not to.

Speaking of socializing with others. We were invited to our friends home today. They are Veterinarians so that is a plus, they have furry friends for me to hug. one is an Akita, very old now not doing well I'm also his God-mother, John, so hard for me to let go of pets. Having PTSD they were my comfort, holding these big dogs I feel safe.
I understand not being around others when in pain, I don't want to go! But I have to get out of my home, I don't want to. I look old and ugly now. I lost what kept me going. I'll stay a short time. Our friends have a great since of humor now, that good for the sole!

My brother died 2013 Pancreatic Cancer and that was my sister-in-law chance to really be the mean person she is and there went my niece and nephews. She used to call my mother "hey you" I miss him I told I wished she had died, she told me she hears that all the you said nothing wrong. We have fewer friends since this happened to me. My poor husband. I have so much guilt. Isn't it nice to belong to Mayo Connect, SMILE

I never tell people how I feel in a social situation, they ask out of courtesy. For me to get out means a new environment, I bit of independence, my choice to go out, get dressed, stay as long as I want, and LAUGH!
Now thats a plus. I hope you can see family or friends even if it's only for an hour. Today I will try and use them as my opiate. Seeing their pets interact is always a funny surprise.

Wishing you a great day!
