I have high tolerate for pain. I've Drs told me to take my pain medication when I started losing weight and my hair was falling out.
Just recently I noticed that I have been sweating ecessivly. It usually start at the oncoming pain in my kidney. I am currently taking tramadol and occaisonally 1/2 percocet. I did notice that when I took 2 tramadol and 1/2 percocet together I felt great for few hrs.
Anyone ever gone through this? The sweating and the pain is making me miserable to the point that my bp flucuated and bring on my anxiety attacks.
Should I go back to my dr for stronger pain med? Ive tried everything I could think of what could be causing the sweating. Ive been check neg for diabetic and thyroid. I know my hormone level is level since I am on premarin.
Another problems that I have is that I cant go back to my kidney dr cuz she want me to get MRI done. I do not have ins or cant afford 4000.00 for the test. I am trying to get ins but dont know if I will be approve for it. I do qualify for government help cuz my hubby make too much money. Any adice or suggustion?
