I have to use pain meds to get through the day although it is not necessarily from my MS. I also have 7 bad discs in my back is why I started the meds although my pain is not only in my back anymore. I think part of the pain is MS because I have neuropathy in my feet and legs. Gabapentin helps the neuropathy and I use morphine and hydrocodone for the other pain. If I couldn’t get the pain meds I would have a terrible life, probably unable to get out of bed. Even with the pain meds my pain is still a 5 out of 10 but I can function at a 5 level. I broke my ankle in May of last year. My pain at that time was a 10 out of 10 and I almost passed out from it so I knew how bad pain can be.

I have 3 dogs, Cocoa, Reno and Pudgey, actually Pudgey is my granddog. Our pets know when something is wrong and cuddle up with you and follow you around. They have a way of saying, it’ll be ok. I love all 3 dogs but Cocoa is mine and sleeps with us. The other two have their own bedroom.
