On the other hand, I was able to make it to my dental appointment today (had hubby take me as I felt I wasn't up to driving) and I got an all good report,

I have had doctors suggest taking something and actually told two doctors to go ahead and prescribe but after picking up the meds and reading the possible side effects opted not to use either. My luck, I'd get the worse side effects. One drug, Salsalate, was prescribed by a rheumatologist, when I lived in PA. The other drug, Duloxetine, was prescribed by a pain doctor here in MN.
Both meds had a super long list of possible side effects including one that really concerns me which is Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis. This is what I mentioned to you that you may have been suffering from as it can cause blistering and peeling skin. It can also cause death. Also, the chance of hallucinations. My brother suffered from those when he took nerve pain meds. And the scary list went on from there. No, thank you. I'll put up with the pain and if too, too bad will pop some aspirin or acetaminophen. I think I have a high pain threshold - had 22 hours of labor and gave birth to our son without any medication and really didn't think it was bad at all.
I've seriously been considering getting some edibles but there is so much info out there I'm not sure what to trust. Mentioned it to my doctor and he had no problem with this action but they also seem to come with a set of possible side effects. I never smoked weed way back when in my younger years so I have no clue what to expect. Oh well, maybe one of these days.
Sorry it took so long to reply. I had to find these old meds to report accurately. Hope you are doing okay. Take care.

Around a year ago, I had pain on my left side going from my neck to my fingers. It was really bad and nothing helped. I had a spinal x-ray and they said that I had severe arthritis of the cervical spine and the doctor gave me Neurontin. It stopped the pain but it put me in the hospital and I ended up having a brain cat scan and mri because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. I had severe vertigo to the point of not being able to walk without hurting myself. They switched me over to Lyrica and it was worse. I had to stop taking them. I get some pain every now and then but it's nothing serious. It took me a week in bed to finally get over Neurontin and then another week to get over Lyrica. I don't regret taking them. The pain was too much so I didn't have a choice. I have a pretty high pain threshold, too. I broke my hip and I never took any pain meds once I got out of the hospital. On the way home after I was discharged, I went to CVS to pick up my opioids and it took them forever to fill the prescription. I was sitting on the bench waiting and my ride was somewhere in the store and I ended up passing out from the pain. I didn't know how difficult it would be to get into a car with a broken hip and that's what caused it. I took the pills then but nothing after that and I went through hell on my recovery. I had to learn how to walk all over again. I couldn't move my leg an inch a couple of weeks after my surgery but I worked at it one step at a time and eventually I was able to walk again even though my doctor said that I couldn't do it. I went through so much pain with that. The pain I have now is nothing compared to my hip but my hip is nothing compared to what some other people go through every day. I hope that you're not one of those people. It's awful to live in pain and not give in to taking opioids.
