Welcome

I've been looking for some other CP/IP (Chronic/Intractable Pain) patients who would like to contribute to this site, whether one time, sporadic, or regularly. If anyone is interested, please email me at IntractablePainKills@gmail.com

I'm also open to any suggestions about improving the blog.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON ANY POST, PLEASE CLICK ON THE TITLE TO LOAD THE INDIVIDUAL POST.


DUE TO A GLITCH IN BLOGGER, MY POSTS DO NOT ALWAYS POST IN ORDER BECAUSE THEY POST USING THE TIME THAT I STARTED THE INITIAL DRAFT. I DO MY BEST TO CORRECT THIS WHENEVER POSSIBLE, HOWEVER SOME SLIP BY, SO PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ THE TITLES OF MORE THAN JUST THE MOST RECENT POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.

March 2018 Update

Things have been really hard on my whole family for the past few years. I let my blog go for a while.

Today would be my mother-in-law's 48th birthday if she had lived. It's a hard day for us. Today, I got an email from Disqus to moderate a comment. It was just someone telling me that they liked my blog, but it was really sweetand well timed.

I have had an intrathecal pump since January 18, 2016 and my myPTM was activated about a year ago.
My intrathecal morphine peaked at
9.99mg/day basal
0.4mg/bolus over 1minute
Lockout 30 minutes
DRI 2/1hr
Max 6/day

I had them decrease the basal by just over 0.5mg per day due to side effects.

My wife has had a lot of complications since getting her pump February 28, 2017 that I'll try to get everyone up to date on. I've also considered switching to a vlog, but I'm not sure.
