First off, sorry for the lull in posting. Einstein here forgot his log in info for WordPress.

Well, I have been controlling my pain for years through the magic of Ibuprofen. I usually take four in the morning and four at night (I know… I know…). Recently I switched to Naproxen Sodium and now I have…

an ULCER!

I have been doubled over in stomach pain for the past few days and am seeing a GI tomorrow. Not only does the gut pain kill, but I have gone cold turkey off the NSAIDs. Acetaminophen is like cutting raw meat with a butter knife, so no help there.

I have no idea what to do save going the narcotic route and you all know how much I just love getting high (see previous posts)!

It’s like a sick joke.

Web MD and sites like that suggest ice packs and acupuncture.

Seriously? I’m in real PAIN! (and yes, I have tried both before. Acupuncture is of no help).

I know I have asked before, but… does anyone out there have an effective pain management regimen? I would be most appreciative.

Two notes:

1. I look NOTHING like the man above.

2. Do NOT Google ulcer and click on images.

trust me.
