I wont leave the house unless a car is already warm and toasty!and someone said something about sneezing I do about 30 times aday any know why?

Yea... matine as well.   When I was in the worst of withdrawl (withdrawal) I could not get warm.  I even bought one of those portable heaters with the oil inside that radiates warmth rather than those coiled ones...just to keep my body from cold in the bathroom.  Kept it right next to the hopper so that the toilet would be warm.  LOL

Yesterday I walked around in my coat all day.  I was never a warm person to start with.  I'm tiny, tiny.  So I'm always cold.  But I fell asleep one night during the worst of the W/D with this big ole sweater coat, a comforter and a crocheted throw and it was 60 deg here.  Go figure.

It's getting better VicA... honestly I don't mean to complain.  I hate those pills.. I HATE THEM.   I hate that for as smart as I think I am, I didn't realize what they were doing to me.. I hate what they are doing to very loved friends, I hate the way I have to go around now...still feeling like doo-doo.. I HATE THEM.  I hate that ppl here are sufferning and are either afraid to get help or get denied help

I HATE THEM.

Hope your day is comfy and WARM g/f!!!

Just finished what I had to do... I'm glad I had some time to post today.  Made me feel better.   I'm not feeling so hot today...

But I'm off to a meeting and then to the office.

I would NOT report Tim's Dr. to any freaking administrator... I'd go directly to the AMA... make them look at his lic# and want an immediate answer why he would NOT help him.   If he was not profiecient in Drug W/D... he should have temporarily helped and then sent him to someone who could have helped.  But to refuse treatment is against Hypocratic Oath.. he should be reported.   That story has me spinning...and I keep saying I can't fix the world.

Tim will have to think about that Dr. for any future treatment... I'd still report him

Take Care you guys I'm off and running.. PRETENDING I'm ok

True..I agree there. Your in the medical field too aren't you. So you know more about all of that stuff. Cool beans! I would too..if I had a Dr do that to me..you would best bet I would swicth drs immediately and report that a-hole.

Keep busy g/f!! Pop in when you get the time, let us know how your doing.

Luv Ya G/F!

Tracy, I totally relate. When I was in w/d, never could get warm enough.  Always had layers of clothing on in the SUMMER!  Then would wear my cozy chenille bathrobe over my clothes. I took a LOT of warm baths.  The only thing I absolutley HATED about taking baths or showers though was the "getting out" part.  I would be soooooo cold, it literally hurt.  What doseage are you on now and are you tapering?

Thanks for your post way down.  I responded.  OK off I go now to start my day in REALITY.  I am on 1000/325 percocet right now.  Very low considering what I was taking before I got kleen.  Will try hard to take "as directed" but I know myself and am not happy with myself at all.  I didn't have the guts to tell the ER DOC I'm an addict.  I didn't even ask for pain meds, he just wrote the script.  I didn't have to fill the script but found myself driving unusually fast to the pharmacy after the ER visit to get the damn thing filled. Wouldn't let myself even think "You are an addict - you can not FILL this"  Just absolutely blocked the KLEEN SANE me voice out and became this other person absolutely elated to get my percs.  Insane.

I am still on what I have always been prescribed. 5/500's..were to be taken 3/day. I was up to 8-10 sometimes even 12. But I am now trying to stay at 3 until I see Dr tomorrow and ask him what is the fasttest, least painful way to go down.

I haven't been totally behaved, but much better than I have since I upped my own dosage. The most I have taken now the past week was 6. But not everyday. That has happened though a couple of times within the past week and a half rather, not week. But for the past 5 days for sure I have not went above 5.

So..I hope tomorrow goes well and I can hear it from my Dr. what would be a safe, fastest, and less painful way to go. I am feeling slight withdrawels, but not much. But again I am sure that is b/c I am still putting them in my system. But with my pain..it is so hard not to. The days I took more than 4 I was really in the pain. Not just popping them for the hell of it. So...like I said I know I have a huge road ahead but I am committed on getting there. And I also think when I hear from my Dr. how long this will take, what is the best way to go, that will make me feel better to. As that day I went C/T..that was the scariest thing..I will not do that again. So maybe he will say 3/day for 2 days..then down to 2..not sure. Although that is what I have tried to do. So..I am not proud of myself just yet. But I think getting it out on the table (hope he is underdtanding) and having him tell me what to do as far as taper, I may be more apt to listen to also. But so far with the little bit of change I have made.. I have noticed a difference in my mood, my energy and my positive attitude towards getting these gone for good. Before this site, I don't think I really wanted to quit. Sure I had said it..but never actually did ANYTHING about it. So..hopefully I am going to get through this once and for all and be ok.
Thinking of you too hun!! Keep it up, you can do it!
