I have intracranial hypertension with 5 unsuccessful brain surgeries then it was discovered I have a chair malformation. I have bboth an LP and VP shunt which still gives me headaches, I also have had a c2 lamenectomy to decompress a Chiari malformation that has left me with yes still constant pain. This has been going on for 13 years. My doc has me on 10/200mg of hydro condone or 4 mg of dilaudid. All of this is lasts for a couple hors, I am looking for something that is longer acting, so I don't have to take so many and always run out. I don't even have time to do housework, clean, play with my kids, to enjoy outtings with my husband. There has got to be some that is longer acting, can you help please??? Thank you and God Bless.
