Be Still Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Oh, Janine, how horribly outrageous. I hate medical tests. I don't think anyone comprehends the misery that tests put us through.Gee, it was recommended I get that test . . . Is there a lower level than feeling like road kill?((hugs)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Gallup Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Something pops out at me here......Were you wearing your duragesic patch during the testing? Could that explain your symptoms? Fentanyl is a pretty heavy duty drug, and I was surprised you "felt" the affects after one day, with one patch, as I believe it's common knowledge the first patch doesn't work, even for POTSie people, because it needs to make it's way to the bloodstream from the outside of your skin. After 2 days though, I suppose a sensitive person could have symptoms as you described WITHOUT any testing since it's such a sedating medication. Hope you didn't wear it during your testing, as I know drugs skew results, especially something as strong as that patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janineerrn Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks for the support guys.I wasn wearing my patch. I had to take it off about 20 hrs into wearing it because I got a rash from the adhesive.Still feel like poop.Janine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
