Let me just put this thought out - CF doctors are usually pulmonologists. They may have experience and knowledge of pain management, but especially for ongoing issues, they are not the experts.</end quote></div>

Yes,

You are right with this thought. I have been finding that my CF center, which used to take care of pretty much everything, are now deferring a lot of complaints to various specialists. I even had to go see an endocrinologist for my insulin resistance secondary to steroids. Very much a CF induced condition, and very easily manageable with insulin coverage, but they farmed it out to an endo nonetheless. It's the trend in medicine these days. You have your scope and that's it.

omg I feel the SAME way. I listen to my friend talk about how she got some percocets and all kinds of stuff for a hurting ovary, adn here I am doubled over in bed dieing and them saying "ooo well here is some tylenol". I finally got them to give me a loratab but 1 7.5 feels like I'm popping 1/2 a tylenol.
Its just frustrating.

I will tell you though that with the pain meds, don't be surprised if they wear off quickly! I was always curious why no matter what the doc gave me, it would work for about an hour tops. She said that CF patients tend to metabolize pain meds really quickly. Ugh!



I hope you are able to get some relief!</end quote></div>

I hadn't heard of this until now. So, I researched it and it is in fact true that people with CF tend to have an enhanced metabolism when it comes to the P450 cytochrome and some of it's subfamilies (particularly CYP1A2). you can read more about the study here: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://adc.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/77/3/239">http://adc.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/77/3/239</a>

Mobic helps me. It's a Rx-only, souped up Motrin. They gave it to me after foot surgery. I also have Lidoderm (Lidocaine) patches that you peel off and stick on whatever is hurting. I put them on my knees, sleep with one on my neck, have put them on my shoulders and even cut them up and put partials on my TMJ joints. I get both of these from the rheumatologist. It wouldn't have happened from the CF doc.
