I know exactly what you're going through, I'm merely 21 and up until 13 days ago, my entire life was one big pill!  I couldn't wake up and do anything until I had my pills, I wouldn't eat all day just so the effects wouldn't go away.  I know it's hard, my babygirl just turned one yesterday and chasing here with coldsweats and pain is no easy task.  If you don't want to be consumed by pills anymore, it is possible.  It's all up to you, and with so much love and support from these guys you will be just fine.  There is a life after addiction, and I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm not there yet, but I know with many steps along the way, I can be the best person I can for my family and for myself.  As I watch my daughter grow I've found that if for no other reason at all, she is my reason for living a happy, healthy lifestyle.  She inspires me everyday to become a better person.  

Best of luck and stay strong

Welcome.   By the 6th you will be pretty much through the physical withdrawals.  Its the mental cravings that could possibly be in full force.   Do you have a support system like a church group or a 12 step group you could begin?   We are here for support and the folks here are very compassionate and knowledgeable.

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry you are in pain and know how hard it must be without anything to take. I would read some of the posts and you will find a lot of good tips and info. I know how hard it is to c/t and wish you the best. We are here to support you and help through this. Do you have any gabentin or benzo's? If you took something with a strong tylenol it might help the pain. A really hot bath would help you too. Hang in there!!

God Bless,
Tim

Is it possible for you to see a chiropractor?  I had a back fusion many years ago which left me with chronic pain.  Exercise, swimming when possible, and the chiropractor have helped me with the pain.  Also, if you have a way to explore taking Chinese herbs, there are many that address chronic pain.  Acupuncture helps too.  Of course all of this costs money.  Sometimes Chiropractors and Acupuncturists have a sliding scale.  Good luck to you...and many blessings, Sparkle
