Day 3 of detox-thx all

[pandoram]

First time posting- long time visitor.

So hetes my story. I posted thus on someone elses post but I just wanted to tell me story and say thanks to everyone because this board has helped me out tremendously.

I first got introduced to percosets in 1/09 when I was suffering from 2 lumbar herniated disks. I was on 10/325's for a year. I started out on tge 5's and was taking them every 6 hours. Then of course they stopped working and I moved on to the 10's.  I ended up on 6 to 8 a day and most where at night with as much alcohol as I could handle.

In January of this year I noticed that my lymph nodes on the left side of my ear, jaw and neck where getting large. The meds activated them and in the process of trying to find out what was causing the swelling, I got off the percs. I was fortunate enough to go to a detox dr who gave ne chlonodine which helped a lot. I did not really even notice the withdrawals on it.

Fast forward a bit to march 26, 2010 when I was at the hospital tge day after my biopsy operation of my lymph nodes. That is the day I was officially diagnosed with lymphoma. I started 6 months of chemo in April and because of my bad back which was aggravated by chemo and the painful nerve pain I suffers because of treatment...I started percs again. I knew that I would get hooked but I needed help and I needed sonethung to get me through the nightmare that I was living. And by the way, I was going back and forth between percs, morphine and darvocet.

So here I am today. Day 2 of detox, week three off chemo and I can't take chlonidin because my blood counts are to low due to chemo and it makes me almost pass out. So I've had to really search for natural solutions.

Here's what's helping me...

L-thyroxine 1000 mg in the am with 1 multi vitamin, 4 advil and 750 mg of GABA 1000 mg of vitamin c and 1 stick of string cheese or cheddar. Cheese is said to have dopamine in it so I'm basically only eating cheese right now.

By about 2 pm I start getting the body aches and the shakes so I drink the same things minus the vitamin.

The GABA is a inhibitory neurotransmitter produced in the body. The supplement is an amino acid that helps induce relaxation and sleep. It helps me with the anxioty and the irritability as well as the body aches and jitters.
