Dr Appt

GM everyone.  Going to the Dr this morning to get some paperwork for my job explaining my absences from work.  Got up early to drink my coffee and check on all u guys to see how u were doing.  I'm glad I did.  I know I can be honest here so I'll share.  As u can see by my posts from the last few days; I had a rough week.  I have a flare up right now so I'm in pain sometimes.  I was considering telling this Dr (the freehanded script writing Dr) about my pain and getting a script from him for SOMETHING for pain.  Maybe Tylenol 3, Tramadol...SOMETHING.  I was going to tell that lie that we tell ourselves; as long as it is not our drug of choice (for me Vicodin) then I'll be OK.  I'm thankful that I stopped by here first.  I read posts from alot of newcomers who are in early w/d and just reading their experiences snapped me back to reality.  Do I really want to go there again?  Nah...I dont, so I'll just get my paperwork filled out and leave.  Thanks to everyone who shared; you dont know how much you help me and everyone else on here struggling.

Hi Everyone, This is only my second post since going c/t on Monday. I have been here listening since then and it really helps.  On day 6 and the physical stuff is pretty well gone. I almost think the emotional is harder.One minute I feel awesome the next I want just one.(Just got off the phone w/a connection & I didnt even ask.)I'm puppy sitting for my daughters Bullmastiff & that keeps me occupied when I'm not on here. Eating seems to help too. I'm 108 now, probably not for long. If it wasnt so F----- cold out I'd get some fresh air. Laying on the beach in Mexico would be awesome therapy r/now. Does anyone think upping my Paxil a bit would help? Thanx everyone for keeping me going & sane. Talk to me !!!
