HOSPITAL STAY

I was in the hospital last week for 2 nights on a Dilaudid PCA. Now taking po Dilaudid and Valium...but still experiencing breakthrough pain. Just needing moral support. I'm getting Potter MRI done tomorrow. Can't seem to get good pain control. Lyrica and Neurontin made me feel like I was on another planet, but maybe I should try them again.

thanks in advance,
cari

Sorry you're feeling bad :(
I have no experience with Lyrica, but neurontin turned me into a total space cadet for awhile and then I acclimated to it. It does effect my memory (which can be compensated for by a good calendar, lots of lists, always carrying pens and paper), and sometimes I have trouble stringing a sentence together, but that high feeling of being on another planet did not stick around.
I hope you find out good stuff on the MRI. Take care.
