A surprising way to stop

[againnot]

I haven't posted in a long time.  Had some bad experiences with one person but I'm going to blow it off.

So....on pain meds for maybe 20 years, off and mostly on.

Prayed for Divine intervention.  Took a pill last Sunday and had a horrible allergic reaction.  The same drug I've been on for 2 years....oxy.  Itching, throat closing up....I've been in shock one other time from a drug. ( had an out of body experience, but that's a different story)

So.  I'm alone most of the time.  Terrified to take even 1 for fear of this happening again and asking oh where is my eppy pin.

I'm sure it happened for 2 reasons.  I prayed.  And, my cancer is much worse and my immune system crashed.

So, for whatever reason, on day 6 and have no desire to take one.

I wouldn't recommend the cancer approach, but I do believe in Divine intervention.  Just my thoughts.

Don't ask me if I threw them away.  I gave them to husband.  Pain clinic said if I ask to get off of them, I probably wouldn't get them back. (Idiots). I have terminal cancer.  I will need them down the road.

My first husband was a doctor and he always used to say "any drug can to anything to anyone at any time.  NO matter what."

I have taken the antibiotic Keflex many times through the years (I used to get UTI's a lot).  I took it earlier this year, and had a horrible allergic reaction; hives, itching, throat closing up, the works.   All that is different is that I'm older...AND I'm no longer taking oxycodone for my back pain.

I'm glad for the miracle you experienced....thank you for sharing it with us

Hugs,

I'm glad you were able to stop because I know you have been wanting to for a long time.  Sorry you had to go through that reaction to it, however.  Regarding the meds and the medical profession, you know how I feel about that.  There has been some discussion lately about this issue on the forum--I don't know if you saw it.  I believe they felt along the same lines as we do.  I think about you all the time.  You are so brave and strong and I admire you for this.  I think you know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers.  Much love!
