A lingering w/d symptom or something else goin on?

A lingering w/d symptom or something else goin on?

Good morning to all!
I am on day 28...
I know that frequent trips to the bathroom are a common side effect of w/d's in the first week.
I did not have this side effect until day 5 or 6 and it's continued to get worse over the last couple weeks.
Do you suppose it's still going on as part of w/d's or maybe something else is going on?

Hi Script...
28 days!  Yay!  Can you taste a month?  Awesome work.  

It's hard to say with the bathroom issues....I have them big time but I also have Crohn's Disease so...Pretty much an all the time thing(:

Your digestive system was suppressed by the opiates and it may take awhile to regulate...Take Immodium (if you aren't already) and continue to hydrate.  If it doesn't resolve, I would go and see your doctor.  f you are still experiencing anxiety, this can cause tummy upset and the runs.

Take good loving care of yourself darlin, and be proud!  Keep your guard up and keep up the awesome work.

SO proud of you...

Hey script.... I have really felt the full bladder increasing these past 10 days or so. Not sure if that's what u mean but if I even drink a cup of coffee or tea then 5 minutes later I gotta go definately not like that in the beginning but we were probably really dehydrated at that time. As long as their is no pain with it or anything else unusual then let those last toxins in us flow on out!!

Hi Mike!
How are things going for you? Haven't talked in a while.
I suppose I should have been more specific but was trying to refrain from TMI ;)
I am referring to diarrhea!

If this doesnt clear up soon you need to see a doctor.  Better to be safe than sorry.

Sarah-
You don't think it is from w/d's.  Certainly at this point(28 days), I wouldn't think so either but not sure.

Love your nick, I am going into 3 weeks, stay hydrated I almost completely dehydrated, LOL, Immodium is my friend. OK being a little silly I just think positivie thoughts and a laugh once in a while helps.

This is just me but the GI issues ended about 2 weeks after I quit and then reappeared a month later, then another month later and again at 3 momths and then disappeared entirely.  I do think seeing a Dr. is a good idea but I know for some of us, it takes a long time for those toxins to leave our system.  But that was just me :)
