Hi Martin,

Good to hear from you. I am glad you are going to get to go back to work. I haven't gotten to work since '87 (whoa I am old!) and I still miss it every day.

I went through the getting off the MSContin. It is NOT fun. I take it sometimes now but I don't let myself take it long enough to get dependent on it. I know I am dependent on the Lortabs but that's ok. I can't make it without pain relief. Like my dr said when I wanted to come off the Morphine, I wouldn't ask to come off my bp meds or my thyroid meds, etc. Why should pain meds be any different when you have to have them to be able to function.

I hope the Remicade works for you. I backed out on taking it last fall because of my Lupus and some Neuro symptoms I was having. I sometimes wish I hadn't and other times I am glad I did.

Have a good weekend.

Blessings,
Possi
