Hi Emily.The challenge of winter is here, Im hoping its going ok for you. I took a lead from your steam room pain therapy thingy and have been pushing my pain barrier. It really does work and I dont have the daily dread of pain any more. I can push through the hard days better now and the pain is not so much the centre of my life that it was. Still a lot of pain but the resentment has greatly decreased. Its easy to just do less at this time of year but I dont think it helps.keeping up momentum is hard but worth some effort.Ive also discovered that self-validation helps us accept our feelings more easily and that those feelings then demand less attention.Love to you Emily, my thoughts are with you this winter.
Just a quick note to say hi! Hi....I'm trying to get off of tramadol myself...I take about 12 a day (prescribed 8) and starting to taper. Just came across your journal and will be reading it. Good luck to you

Thank you...Thank you...I could not have done this without this site..Thank God you started it.. love and peaceful dreams to you...
Just a quick note to say hi! I am now on day three of no tramadol and I want to thank you and your posters in helping me see the light. I did not know how bad this stuff was for me till I read these posts and it brought me to tears and I quit taking it. I have been on it for three years now so the withdraws are not fun but they are better than living my life worrying about running out. Thank you so much and I wish you and your posters all the best in thier recovery. Please say a prayer for mine as well.
