Feelin...blue..

Hi All, this is a great website and I have found much needed support to get over some hurdles. I am in the current stages of tapering. I had a follow up visit to my Dr today, after a "procedure" that i had a few weeks ago, and we again decided to taper my pain meds. I am good with that, considering I have been trying to do that.. except for my little slip up not to long ago..
I guess, well...not sure. I read everyone "talk" about feeling great, and starting to feel like their old self again, and I guess...when I am going to feel like that. Sometimes i do feel "alone" and i think I need to jump in and make new friends here on the website...this is the one and only support that I do seem to have.

I don;t know, this entire "ramble" that i am doing doesn't make much sense I am sure.. I think I just need a bit of a push, ya know?

thanks, everyone.. Reading all your triumphs, and recoveries lets me know that I am not alone, and I can do this..

after doing so much damage to our bodies it takes time to feel good again. it dosen't happen overnight and sometimes at first it's frustrating, but i promise you WILL feel like your old self again. this is a great support group filled with people that can relate and give you advice. good luck with your taper and recovery. you are right, YOU CAN DO THIS. good luck.

Good job so far. 'Normal' won't happen until weeks or months into your recovery.
