Howdy! You're amazing... don't know how you made it through work yesterday... I'm on 55 hours and counting... aches all over (big deal!) but it's the energy that's getting to me... no energy... other than this writing I've got no energy for a shower, to go out for a walk, nuthin' but nuthin'... and natcherly the mood goin' south without energy to charge them psychic cells anymore... how'm I gonna face life again when these days of seclusion come to an end all too soon?  I'll be a shell of the former me... ok I used to be "sick" a lot, but when I was up and about I brought smiles and inspiration... and now?... sorry, didn't want to drag on ye... you're doing amazingly great and I just hope you can keep it up...  GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!!!    Nefesh

Thanks you are doing AMAZING. I have never made it that long cold turkey. I woke up pretty stiff and sore with some stomach cramps. However it had been 15 hours since I had a taper dose. Which I just took. Today is a 12 mg day. Not quite as busy today so won't be quite as distracted. And hopefully no crazy clients will yell at me over the phone. Keep doin what you are doin.

I am now at the end of day 3 totally without tramadol. I feel slightly better I think, the day  has passed in slightly longer portions than the previous two and I am beginning to take a little more interest in life beyond my body. One of the very old men in my village (mountains in southern france) has died and my aim tomorrow is to get to his funeral in the morning. I have to face another night first. Keep going everybody!

You are almost there 3 days is a long time in the grand scheme of things. It has to be strange talking to us in the states when its nighttime there and lunch time for us.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am trying so hard to believe that I am doing well and this forum is amazing and helping a lot. I have never been on a forum before. I hope you too are doing OK, and yes - the time difference is weird but there are a few europeans around it seems!
