After the support meeting, I looked up my medications on www.rxlist.com. I knew my medications were Tylenol and Acetimeniphin (sp?) free. What surprised me were the gastointestinal and urinary side effects of Tramadol. Since my former uro gave me the perscription, I assumed it wasn't going to have side effects like urinary frequency.
In the past, I had read the handouts for my medications and looked them up on Wikipedia. From now on, I am using www.rxlist.com. On a positive note, I have great motivation to stop taking it.
Thats wonderful that you got
Thats wonderful that you got the motivation to stop taking them and you will see you will not need them as you progress :) Hang in there and do things that relax your body and mind such as watching movies listening to music affermations and warm moist compresses wherever the pain is. I make hot towels by wetting them and heating them either in a crock pot or a microwave. You can also make rice heating pads if you don't sew just use a pillow case and cut it short tie it off it will work just as well. Fill with rice and you have a heating pad that will last a very long time.
