I have A severe case of the flu my temp is back up to 99.5 this is the 4th day of it I hope it is over soon I hate to say it but I have took 4 tabs a day the past 2 days I tried so hard not to but Saturday night in the early morning hours from about 1am to 6am I laid there squalling in pain it was horrific I mean I was ready to call an ambulance and I have no insurance so I have to pay out of pocket so I have to be about dead to do that the Loratab knocked out the pain enough to not cry I knew if I got sick I could be set back but that is life and I will not give up it is just to much dealing with this bad of flu and w/d pain as soon as I get over it I will resume my taper this is just a bump in the road this flu was worse than my first 4 days of Methadone detox I heard a bad case was going around so I pray no one else gets it I will be fine my friends and thanks for your concern for the Dozeman

Our immune system takes a beating when we are detoxing.  It gets better.  Lay low and rest and before you know it that precious baby will be in your arms.

Congrats on 25 days!
