Badass shingles update.

4. I'm another oxycodone/oxycontin hater

Once I've been on it a couple of days, I can't wait to get that stuff out of my head, something in common with most of my patients taking it. We just want our brains to work right again, even after the gnarliest surgeries or (in my case) fractures.

If you find that neurontin isn't doing the whole job, ask about Ultram. It's a weak SSRI that seems to hit the opiate receptors and reduce pain without the buzz that gets in the way of being able to brain.

And I hope the SOBs are gone soon.
