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.
