Tonight was a horrible night at home. When I got home from working a 10 hour day my DW was FURIOUS with me for going to my GP to get an in between script for my pain meds until my pharmacy gets my usual pain med in. This morning while I was trying to sit and get some rest before going to work the pain in my legs was so bad I was nauseated. I couldn't think straight and I knew I wouldn't be able to work with that kind of pain. I knew then I had to go to my GP.
My DW proceeds to tell me tonight that she is tired of being married to someone who is always taking some kind of narcotic. I tried to explain to her how severe the pain is and that the med I take is the only thing that will control it. I guess at this point I should say I take MS-Contin. 100mg up to 3x a day. But anyway, she was so angry she wasn't having any of the explanation.
I GOOGLED for articles to describe just how severe MS pain can be but I could really find anything. Oh, I might add this comes on the heels of her talking to my Neuro about my pain and the meds I take for it just YESTERDAY!! He explained to how severe it is and her suggestion of a Pain Management Clinic would be a waste of time and money.
I hate to make sound like I have a hateful wife because I don't. I know she is just concerned but her way of talking about things is with anger.
So, my question is does anyone know of an article that gives a good description of just how severe MS pain can be? My pain is restricted to my legs only. I'm hoping of I can find an article for her to read she MAY have a better understanding. That's my hope anyway. Thanks for bearing with me and this long post. Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I'm at my wits end. Thanks.
