Fred, All my prayers and hopes for you. Have you tried The Waismann Method yet? Check out- addiction to prescription painkillers or even a place like-  Chapman House  I know of folks who have had amazing success. Just a thought. Hollar out, drop a PM, keep in touch, Ad know that even This too can be overcome and that Good times are waiting out there in the future, Just not yet today. Hang in there and keep remembering that hope and long happy future Is just over the horizon, And You’ll get there. Hopelessness is the only thing that can keep eventual success away. Keep you Docs in the loop, be as proactive about your improvement As you obviously can be. _________________

One other, more specific bit…. While in the Throws of Detoxing… Keep you electrolytes up. Drink some Propel, Smar****er or Pedialyte (yep the stuff for Babies) Make sure you are taking a Multi-Vit with Minerals, Particularly Potassium. That seems to show a significant drop in folks shaking an Opiate from the system. Same with the B vitamins. Also, even though eating is probably the furthest thing from your mind, Force in some low impact carbs as you can. Some fruit, maybe you could keep down some melon. Hope you’re past the worst parts soon… Best Wishes- Dx

 

 

 

Fred. I pray that your struggle comes to a happy conclusion. I know it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. Hopefully a device like Dan has will help.

Best of luck to you Fred. I know you are in a not -fun-place right now and I grieve for you and others that have so much to endure.  I wish I could make it go away but find myself powerless other than prayers in your behalf. Keep posting, venting, sharing, etc. etc.,  When I become perfect, I will expect more of others,...let him who is without sin cast the first stone????  We all have our short falls.  If talking about it and getting some of your feelings off your chest provides a bit of support and any helps,...it is a cheap fix I can handle.   Just hang in there, as this too shall pass. Your buddy, Joe

Fred,

Sorry this is happening! Get well soon and I hope you get some pain relief and get rid of the effects. 

Cordially,

Dave

I also have a back injury. I was given more pain killers than I could possibly use. I currently have over 300 Vicoden 750 tabs and two bottles of loratab. I rarely take them do to concern about what you are facing now. I can truly say "there but by the grace of God". I have also chose to live with the pain and after nearly 30 years of it, I can say that I only need the pills about 10 or 15 days a year. I will be praying for you to punch your way through this.

I simply wish you peace and strength.
Power to you.

Joe
