T 194 Yellow Pill (Page 12)

I have a T 194 yellow pill that says it's a percocet 10mg, but when taking it, it made me feel super weird and my chest hurt. Is this a possible side effect?

Thank you for taking the time to respond and to give advice, I will look up Kyphoplasty. I haven't heard about it, but am definitely looking for a better way of living a life, at least to a pain scale level of a tolerable 3. I'm so sorry about that degrading and disturbing horror story you were put through getting help for your sons migraines, I hope that he has found some relief, this whole thing has been nothing short of a nightmare, and to what reason, to save the lives of the people that have abused the system, again, thank you, peace to you. I'm not feeling well today, been a bad day of level 7, just want to curl up and die. Hope tomorrow is better. Peace to all.

Re: Poohsy (# 208)

Yes, Poohsy.....dont know exactly know why I am shooting these posts to you...but I am. Maybe because you kindly held out your hand my way.

Anyway, to the topic of pain meds, lol. Just got a note from my primary caregiver's main office. So, it seems, not only have I lost my primary caregiver, she went home to care for her family....but I've lost my PA, for various reasons, who has taken over my care. Now, I am at the mercy of yet another PA at the office. She could so easily palm me off to a pain management doc, instead of continuing the care I receive at that office. When I lost my primary care doctor, I set up an appointment with PA. She agreed to treat me, with one script a month. Oxycodone 10 mg., every 4hrs, 120 max for each month. I was satisfied and have found that I can easily make that script last most of the month (or even all) though technically, a 20 day supply. Yes, generous, I realize that. I faced that appointment with a fair amount of fear and trembling, but it actually turned out fine. That was 2 months ago. Now, I am hoping the 2ND PA, at the same office, will be open to continuing that care, which was agreed upon by the first PA, but that may be a bit hopeful. I was fortunate the first PA agreed to it. I don't know what's going to happen. She (second PA) very well may choose not to care for me. Can't say I would blame her, but still, I do hope she doesn't dump me. Of course, since this is hitting so close to home, I am seeing why there are so many pleas for help finding a compassionate doctor who will prescribe the meds that allow for a level of functionality that our meds make possible.

I have a different perspective now that my own meds are in jeopardy! I know, kind of sad that it takes a personal threat to my personal wellbeing to get me to see the pain and suffering others are facing right now. To be at a complete loss as to where one can find the care they need is a terrible thing. Now I know. And now I will not only pray for myself but include all who are in this same predicament. It scares me, because this is my first real threat. My well being will be placed in the hands of a complete stranger. The well being of others on this forum is also in the hands and at the mercy of strangers. It is a terrible feeling and I am ashamed that my compassion for others has been so flimsy. But...this has been a valuable lesson for me. Sadly, it's NOT all about me. It's about ALL chronic pain sufferers. If I had the power to see that all in need would get what they NEED, I would. At this point I'm not at all sure what to do with me let alone counsel anyone else as to what recourse they may have for their own dilemmas. There are many out there with more serious issues than I have. I will not list my issues.....but I know there are more deserving sufferers out there. I am not a user without valid and validated issues, but I am one of many. May God help us all. Because I know I haven't the power to see you all get what you need, but again, I am glad my eyes are now wide open and not only focused on ME.

Pain meds and addiction

Dr. Andrew Kolodny is busy supplying fake numbers to Trump and the White House about the number of Opioid deaths and over prescribing doctors. The way it looks to me he is creating jobs and receiving Federal Grant money to fund his staff and his cause a few minutes in the spot light at the white House. Now its not an Opioid epidemic at all he told the President its an epidemic of addiction and he wants the Government to make BILLIONS available for more rehab clinics, hell there is more rehab centers than there are Holliday Inns now. He claims he opened a clinic for addicts to find out the people that came to his clinic weren't addicts at all they were white and blue collar workers that were only taking their meds as prescribed by their doctors" now don't that blow the lid right off your crack pipe" If theses people didn't need these opioids then they should be put in JAIL for fraud because these doctors were taking them at their word that they need help. Chronic pain people suffer because of people like the good DR that make up this fake crap trying to make people think they are out to save the world. He probably wasn't making it as a dr other than his rehab center. How I may be wrong again but this sounds like Bull S*** and giggles to me. What about you Big Red Balloon what do you think?

nomas (# 222) --

I am sooo angered right now! I took the time to listen to this dr. Kolodny, couldn't listen to the s*** being shoveled, had to stop the tape! This dude needs to go back to school and learn the difference between addiction and dependency, this uneducated individual needs to start reading this site to maybe get a clue in that curly brain that chronic pain is NOT because pain patients are looking to feel high, UNBEARABLE and unexceptable! We, every person reading this, please take the time to TRY and listen to this knucklehead, Dr. Andrew Kolodny. And all of you out there that take blood pressure pills please do so before proceeding. What's going on here in this place we call America? Something just isn't making any sense at all. Dr's are now turning into puppets to the government that tells them who what where when why and how they get to treat patients, my pm. Dr actually is trying to convince me that pain pills do not work after 7 weeks he is also trying to get me to seek a psychiatrist, guess my simple counselor isn't good enough, sure, give me an antidepressant to ease the searing pain, pain chronic enough to keep me home day in and day out. Will I be able to lift more than 5 pounds after I take this little antidepressant pill, perhaps the pounding headache and stabbing pain running down my spine will magically float away into a dreamy state of mind blowing bliss!! Hmmmm. I think I'm going to write Mr Kolodny a letter, cuz obviously he has the answers and is changing how pain is thought about and treated, get me a bucket cuz I'm gonna puke!

Okay, I admit the "As Seen on TV" thing is kind of a red flag, but my compounding pharmacist (for progesterone the past few years) told me this week about an OTC product called "P.E.A." (google "peacure") that is helping a lot of people ALONG WITH their regular pain meds for pain. I have not tried it, have absolutely NO interest in promoting something I haven't tried, but my compounding pharmacist was encouraged by the results patients report they've had w/ adding this supplement (?) to their pain med regimen. I'll definitely be checking into this.

My PCP, who has rx'd my pain meds for about 5 years now (w/ a "break" due to a literal "break" of my right radius/ulna last summer & his bowing to the orthopedic surgeon & then the PM specialist when I developed RSD (not my first rodeo w/ that nightmare!) until late November when the PM "specialist" (who said if you take opioids for 30 days, you're an "addict"... BS!) released me from my "contract" w/ him back to my PCP. (God bless this man!) I don't take pain meds to feel high. They don't get me any kind of "high"! They simply allow me to function for 8-10 hours a day, much of the time on my feet. I don't need them every day. In fact, I've found that Voltaren tablets, 2 in the a.m. only, have greatly reduced my chronic pain the past week or so but have nearly destroyed my G.I. system from beginning to end, so to speak, so I have to find something that will work (to at least a measurable extent) w/o the G.I. side effects (i.e. opioids)! There are topical versions of Votaren w/ "enhancers" like DMSO to make them more absorbable, but so far they've not helped me nor can I APPLY the solution to THAT many places on my body.

My PCP has agreed to rx a compounded version of hydrocodone & acetaminophen (my rx the past 3 years or so has been generic Percocet but b/c of what everyone else here is experiencing... it has all of a sudden (last couple of months) become virtually ineffective).

I do NOT think this is a tolerance issue as my tolerance has always been high but has not increased significantly in years... but rather due to whatever these generic companies are doing to their drugs... either they're cutting back on the active ingredient, the quality of the active ingredient, or maybe the fillers (or additives... which were an issue w/ my deceased mom & me), but for the past 3-4 months I've had little pain relief. I am eager to see how the compounded version (paid out of my own pocket... heck you, insurance companies!)... will work. I will report back. Hopefully a higher quality "active ingredient" and no ridiculous "fillers" will make the difference. I shall see!

Re: Poohsy (# 220)

Poohsy....thank you for your sympathy. My brother was not old, making the loss more acute. Old age helps wrap your head around such a loss. Maybe no easier, but makes more sense than an early death. But, it was what it was. It was truly an honor to help usher him into the next life. Would do it again. Just had funeral, and my head is swimming with all the emotions under control during the process. The exhaustion has set in, and along with it, the grief. My family truly rose to the occassion. All 7 siblings were around brother's bed at last hour. Quite amazing, considering how far flung we are. Thanks again, Poohsy.

HOUSE....Thank you for your kind words. If I make any sense at all, you can thank my teachers at my little Catholic school. No one graduated without at least a basic grasp of English!! Now, algebra is a whole not her subject...lol!

Re: Big red balloon (# 228)


To red balloons and fellow patrons at this site, I have been reading this post and I sympathize deeply. I too am in pain management. I don't understand if you're having all these issues with the T194 then why don't the doctors be more sympathetic to your pain and to your situation and prescribe oxycodone without anything else in it? I know a few pain doctors that will not prescribe it because they say it's easily abused, but when you're on the medication and your doctor has a relationship with you then why not ask him and why not have the doctor do it? The doctor can truly tell who's abusing the medication.

Re: painpt2 (# 227)

Please let us know how this compounded med works for you. The doctor I had 7 years ago had meds compounded for me on several occasions when what he wanted to try was not available. That is of course when we had a Mom and Pop Pharmacy in town. I don't know if there is any big chain pharmacy that compounds. So awesome that your doctor is willing to do this for you. Thank him or her and do everything you can to keep them. My PM doctor and his PA are fantastic. When my Dad got sick and I had to go 5 hours away he made sure that I got my meds early to take with me as often as I needed to. Luckily I have a 17 year relationship with my pharmacy so it all worked out. I have thanked them numerous times for doing that and do everything possible to follow their rules. I am truly blessed.

So sorry for you loss. I know there is nothing I can say to really make it better but yes you will see him again someday. I do believe that. I just lost my 42 year old cousin a year ago and it was much harder on me than I even thought it would be. Not like losing a sibling though. Bless your heart and I will keep you in my prayers.

Re: n2braves (# 235)

n2braves....thank you. Yep, planning on seeing brother again. Mom, too. So I better do the right thing in this life. : ) I take nothing for granted. Nothing in this life, or in the next! Death certainly acts as an attitude adjustment. Complaining about the small things is a waste of time and energy. Just want to do the best I can with what I'm given, and shut up about what I'm not..given, that is. Thanks again.

So easy to be caught up I our own affairs and never pop our head out to check out what's going on around us. Especially when dealing with chronic conditions. This forum is a blessing in some ways and serves a good pupose. On the other hand, I read it like a soap opera ...; ) Keep coming back to see what new story is unfolding! Will Lil's stomach ever recover..... will that guy ever find a clinic with a decent compassionate doctor???? Yep, poking a little fun, but I keep coming back because this place has info about EVERYTHING!

Re: JMJ (# 236)

To All,

Just in case anyone thinks I was poking fun at poor Lil, or those looking for good doctors, please know I was more poking fun at the similarity between forums and the ongoing nature of soaps. NOTHING funny about suffering. But some, like me, find a lighter side to almost anything. I laugh at myself more than laughin at anyone else. I do the dumbest things. If I can't laugh, I just may cry. I do find that when posting, the humor or subtleties of written word gets lost or comes off offensive. Never my intent. If I have something to say that may not be very popular, I will be more direct, not couch it in safe words. But I will be charitable. If it seems I am not, then I have chosen my words poorly. Enough suffering out there, no need to add to it!

Re: Big red balloon (# 211)

Big red, I liked your post here. About marijuana...I too do not like what it does to my head. Having had a large cerebellar stroke, the sensation from the THC, reminds me of the sensation I had after the brain damage. As it was explained to me, the benefits of marijuana extracts are minimal without the THC. A lot of the benefits are found in the THC. Not all, but many. My brother has a medical marijuana license, obtained while battling cancer. I, rebel that I am (not) tried it to see if it was something I could tolerate as a substitute for opioids. How else can I know, without trying it? I first tried eating it. No effect. Then smoked it, plenty of effect, but none I could live with. Affected my balance which made me feel like I just had another stroke in the cerebellum, which controls balance. Not a pleasant feeling for me. So, until someone comes up with something better, opioids it is!

Now they want us to see a shrink, by the off chance we are depressed maybe seeking attention, due to low self esteem, my words....not yours. How degrading. And funny our doctors could not detect a mental health problem and point us in the right direction??!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy lounging on a nice comfy couch, but not at a shrinks office. Not there. Believe me, these shrinks WILL find a mental health issue with each and every one of us referred by pain management. Oh, they will, because that's what they are being paid for. Just a downright shame we are no longer able to have some good old-fashioned pain. Nope, now pain is a mental health issue. Who da thunk it?

Nope. Not offensive at all. I know exactly where you are coming from. Love to read what is going on with others and sometimes it helps tremendously such as finding out the Camber meds were in deed making me sick. I get so excited when things work out for someone else. Sometimes I really need that. So, I will keep reading too.

Sorry for your loss. I can definitely relate as I've lost my husband, a baby, my parents, all grands, all my siblings, many Aunts & uncles, as well as, longtime friends. :( In 2015, buried my husband, of 27 years, then my mothet, my F-I-L, an uncle and friend of 30 yrs ~all in 10 months! No, the holidays will never be the same. :( The Holidays & Anniversary of loved ones passing will be hard. We just have to go on, as that is what they would want. I'm still taking one day at a time. Dealing with all that, on top of chronic medical conditions ~Fibromyalgia, & Diabetes, along with CM Chiara Malf. ,Neuropathy, HBP, IBS, DJD, CTS & more is so hard!! Sick of being sick!! Hang in there all!
