I notice that if I don't take one of my meds the pain hits me like a brick. I've tried to go off them thinking that I'm ok, when I'm at around a pain scale of 3. But then about 2 days, I am ready to scream again. I think the only time I did have some sort of remission was 1 to about 5 months pregnant. I had to get off almost all the drugs b/c of the baby, but the pain seemed to have lessened until 5 months then it went into my legs. By 7 months I was so sore, I told him I wanted the baby out, but he wouldn't do it, b/c of his lungs not ready yet. At 8 1/2 months I was induced. I told him I couldn't take it anymore and he did 3 ultrasounds, was still hesitant to induce. But "B" (Brian) was born 8lbs 1 ounce and NO side affects, thank goodness. Til today I still try to go off my meds but it only lasts for so long. I think maybe I should get pregnant again just for the relief. LOL |
