had to drive myself to the er

well i started dry heaving again so i figured i should do something about it, i have not slept in 4 days. i am severly dehydrted and got a couple of ivs, and have a very high fever. the told me about the leg thing, it is all part of the withdrawal and it starting happening to my arms today and went a little nuts. they also told me that no doctor should be giving methadone for pain. methadone is worse than herion. i feel like such a junkie but looking forward to the next few weeks when i can go out in the world sober after almost two years. if anyone is trying to c/d turkey at home and it's not going right, please seek medical help. they will be there for you. i still have alot of chills and probably a couple more weeks of that plus diarrea, put one day at a time.

Good for you-going for help.  Hope you get what you need to get better.  If you want to, I'd be really interested in how you're going to deal with the legpain, etc.  I'm looking for all the ideas I can get that really work:  Any wisdom you gain, pass it along.

What's that you tried-names' already gone from my mind.  Is it a natural or a drug?

I'm glad you took the initiative to drive yourself to the ER for help.  And one day at a time is correct.  You can do it.  I just know you can.
