yes we are hoping you have a good morning! I also have sever pain during WDs but what gets me through is knowing that they are being amplified from the WDs and I won't have to deal as bad after they pass... Good luck today!

ya know...that is a good point...one that i wonder if everyone knows or thinks about.   whatever pain one was suffering from...that started the addiction...will be greater going through and soon following the w/d's...but as time goes on...that will subside...is that what you are saying?   so ppl that don't know this could think that their original pain is still too great and they still "need" the pills...thus relapse.

very good point.

The orginal pain does subside eventually......Actually getting all the toxians out of your body for at least a month, or with very little usage..or a taper....your body will adjust again...and sometimes the paint hat you had, isnt there anymore, only kept there with your mind....

I know in some cases like my bad ankle and knee it is true.........I havent been totally clean, however I will tell you taht I dont have to take pills EVERYDAY...and with the pain I was feeling yesterday....I didnt bother because in all reality what would 1 do, and I dont want to increase my dose AT ALL..................So in saying all that...I just went thru it..I was miserable and a complete b*tch all day, however I will tell you, I got thru it without having to take a pill

today I have little pain.......I have taken half of a perc today, and I feel great, I was able to get on the treadmill and I have had a shower and on my way out..

It really does work, I wish the ppl that go c.t will just stick it out....and not cave into somethign bigger or full fledged usign again, because I know, it does get better

I have bad days too...and I go thru them,sometimes wiht a pill or without one....Depends on how I feel.....solme days I cant fucntion, well then, I just take it easy..adn it works for me, I dont have to work, the little gilr I watch is VERY EASY TO LOOK AFTER...and the stuff around the house can wait if I am in pain...It does help having another roommate..that isnt lazy too..

Love yas and wishing youall the best
