You do realize that the NURSES, in order to give me my dose of gabapentin, took the shit from the trashcan on the side of the med cart. Gabapentin does happen to alleviate opiate WDs reasonably well, actually, but I'm not in WDs at all. I'm getting 10mg of hydromorphone every 4 hours. My pain is decently controlled for the most part too. Sometimes a dick head nurse takes a little longer than I'd like for my shit, or just some days are worse than others with my pain, but I'm pretty good most days with what I get. The last couple days have been a bit trying, hence why I got that dope, and got another bit tonight (before I realized my dumb ass roommate was going to OD on me like a fucking retard) to help beef up my other pain meds for when it's bad. A little lasts me a while though.
Is there a reason in particular that you're being so cunty toward me? or have you just joined in with the mob mentality? Just curious. I never had anything personal against you, so was wondering if there was something you percieved I did as a slight toward you causing such shittiness. Maybe you're just a cunt, meh.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-06-25 at 2:50 AM UTCI’ve used gabapentin for withdrawals. They’re not worth digging in the trash can. Go writhe around in a sweaty sheet for a few weeks and get the fuck over it.
You want to know where the attitude came from? It’s because you’re a whiny bag of shit. Grow a pair. -

Well, for a lot of people, gabapentin does help in WDs, sorry you're unlucky and it doesn't. I'm not in WDs at all. I'm doing great as far as that goes, and I don't have any reason to writhe around in a sweaty sheet. I'm prescribed 10mgs hydromorphone/dilaudid, every 4 hours for my pain radiating from my knee, and the incision, which has a wound VAC, and my knee has 21 stapels, not to mention my herniated disc. I can't complain. My pain is for the most part controlled pretty well.
sorry you feel I am a "whiny bag of shit", but it's better than being a cunt with her head stuck up her ass. Grow a pair? what does that even mean in context to all this? First you say I'm bragging about being in this horrible nursing home, twist what I type to sound like I AM getting shit from the trash, and then now you want to tell me to grow a pair like I'm crying about what's going on her? No. How about you grow up instead of starting conflict for the sake of starting conflict. -

2018-06-26 at 2:45 PM UTCI used to be prescribed OxyContin then 50mg methadone daily for my nerve pain. That was several years ago and I went through the cold turkey withdrawal for 6 months of hell in a sweaty sheet. Then I got a new doc and decided never to go back to opioids.. so I’m just on 300mg Lyrica 2x daily now. They had me on gabapentin with the oxy probably why I couldn’t feel it. Lyrica tho, that shit is magic, even if it doesn’t help much for withdrawal. Kpins and loperamide help me most, keeping the loperamide at a bare minimum to speed the whole process along. Fuck opiates for pain. The cons outweigh the pros, I’d rather be in excruciating pain after going through that bulls hit for several years. Been off any opiate/loperamide a few years now tho and still can’t sleep right. Fun stuff.

I believe she’s in an ECF. Extended care facility. It’s a place where a patient still needs care, but not 24/7 nursing and doctor care. If I didn’t have my family, I’d of ended up in one a year ago. I had to have a PICC line with continuous antibiotic treatment for 6 months. I had family to help me, since I couldn’t ambulate on my own. I had a nurse that came to my home to check my PICC line and draw my blood weekly. I was lucky to have the help. -
2018-06-27 at 5:24 PM UTCYeah, it's not likely the old folks "nursing home" you're thinking of.
Rehab-to-home Long Term Care is the other kind of nursing home where they help you get around until you either prove to physical therapy that you can do your Activities of Daily Living independently or you take a turn for the worse and stay or get shipped to a different facility that will keep you until you die (ours does both), or you can leave AMA.
Hydro's intrusive medication needs are pretty frequent so home health would be astronimcally expensive.

I'm happy that worked out for you. As ji always say, to each their own. I agree Lyrica is much better, over all, but for the moment 800mgs of gabapentin, 3x a day works for me. I have no problem feeling my Dilaudid, but it is going straight into my PICC line, and for me, the gabapentin potentiates my dialudid, and I feel it lasts a bit longer as long as I don't forget to take it(they don't forget in reality, and I forget to ask for it- yesterday though I got double dosed by accident. One nurse gave me it at 6, then another nurse gave it at 8, and I was a wee bit fucked up for a couple hours. Went and slept that shit off.)
For me personally, I'd rather be physically dependent on opiates and able to do shit, function, and live, having a life and able to care for my child than be stuck in bed all day unable to move for the pain. I've gone without, and I wasn't in WDs, and there were many days I was crying in pain, unable to even get up to go to the bathroom without help. We are all different though, and so is our pain, and how we cope with it. If I could function and have a half way normal life without opiates, I damn sure would be doing that, but unfortunately that's not possible.

Yes, you're on the right line of thought here. I'm not deemed "long term" at the moment, but there are many here, and !any younger people here for things such as blood infections where they need 6 or more weeks of antibiotics IVed and have a PICC line. There are folks here who fit the idea of an old folks home, who pretty much live and will die here. It's sad a lot of these people get no family visiting and are like stored away... It's a real mix of people here. Not your average nursing home.
Originally posted by xy0 Are you old enough to warrent being in a nursing home? or is it just because there isnt a better place to suite your needs?
Nursing homes in general aren't age specific. They're needs specific. Granted most people end up in a nursing home are your average grandma/grandpa, youngest being maybe in their 50's, but not here lol. It's located inter-city, so you find a lot of drug addict recovering from something they did to themselves from IVing, but there are the elderly here too.
Originally posted by DietPiano Yeah, it's not likely the old folks "nursing home" you're thinking of.
Yeah, this place is similar to yours. I do physical therapy, but not occupational therapy because I can do everything to care for myself (i.e. use the bathroom, brush my teeth, dress myself, bathe myself, ect.) Even though I use a walker for short distances and get around fairly well that way, and I use a wheelchair for longer distances since it takes it's toll on me if I were to use a walker for all that. I literally have a lift my left leg into bed, it's so weak, and I cannot bear weight on it without excruciating pain.

I'm here pretty much for the IV antibiotics and physical therapy.
GNA stands for geriatric nursing assistant, since most the people here do qualify as being old as dirt and will likely be here for the rest of their lives. Same thing as a CNA, pretty much though.
What does LVN stand for? Never heard that one before.
Edit: I've not been posting much just because I e not been feeling to well. I really think they're struggling to control the infection, and I definitely can tell. Having this shit in your body really steals your drive and energy to do much. Getting a shower is a huge task for me, changing my bedding takes everything out of me... It's just all these little things that would be nothing before, are a real struggle now. Most the time anymore, I just wash my hair in the sink, use soap and water on a wash rag and bathe myself, rinse with another wash rag that's wet without soap, and then dry with a towel, rather than go through the ordeal of wrapping up my leg with trash bags, and my PICC line and worrying about getting either wet. Even just typing here, it's a task. Most days I just go out to smoke, come in and nap until I go out again, rinse and repeat. I hate it. Though some days my roommate gets me up and moving to so other shit, and offers to help me with shit like changing my sheets. She's a lovely lady... When she's not ODing on heroin.
