long term effects

[Nickmbb]

For the past 6 year, I have been taking 8mg of valium everyday. Fot the past 2 years, I have been having a host of unexplained aches and pains through out my body. My PCP has stress tested me...had an egg done, cant find any reason for the strange aches and pains that seem to plaque my upper body. Someone told me that these may actually be withdraw from valium even though I'm still taking the drug. I asked my PCP about this and he sort of shoe-shoed the idea. He can't explain the pains, but does not think that 8mg of valium could of cause me to tolerrabce and withdraw. Any ideas? Is my PCP just covering his arse?

I have to share this with you guys! My problems may have just been diagnosed! I have severe abdominal pain and they have been thinking it is due to all the adhesions in my belly from previous surgeries. I told you how my belly is large as if I am pregnant and very sore. Thing is they always examin me while I am laying down. Well today a Dr examined me while standing and informed me that I have a HUGE hernia! It is massive and alot of my organs are probably herniated through this hole sticking right out into my abdominal skin. The thing is when I lay down they go back in which is why nobody ever found it! I still could have adhesion pain but this COULD BE the cause and if so it is more easily corrected as there is at least a cure for it which is fixing the hernia. The probalm is that I have had recent bowel changes, basically almost impossible to make a number 2.(sorry no nice way to put it) and that has resulted in a giant tear in my rectum also requiring surgery. The dangerous thing is that if my bowel is involved in the hernia and strangulated (which due to my recent bowel changes it probably is) I could die and this becomes an emergency situation so I am waiting to hear from them. If it is an emergency situation I THANK GOD that this Dr finally found it this morning. I could have just dropped dead and left my children. I know if my pain is gone I can stay off of these meds. I always relapse due to pain not usually just because I want to take them. The problem is that when I have the meds I cannot take them the right way, I am powerless over this addiction. But if I am not in pain and don't have the meds I know I can stay off of them! So please send any good wishes or for those that pray, prayers my way that this is all resolved soon and that thsi is teh sole cause of my pain. Unfortunately if it is the adhesions causing most of my pain that will not go away any time soon. So it has to be this hernia causing the pain for me to get my life back! Thanks for listening. I have never known anybody to be excited about having a huge hernia but I am, I am , I am!!! Because I want this pain gone so I can have my life back and my sweet baby girls can have the mommy they deserve and not this sick drug seeking person that I don't even know.

I'm not sure if its from the vitamins or not,but in my expereince I think that it could be.  The reason why I say this is when I started taking V-B and all of the other multi-vitamins I started feeling kind of speedy and weird!! I don't think it affects everyone like that though.  So I stopped taking them.  I hated to do that because I knew that my body probably needed them in my detox, but I just didn't like the feeling they gave me!  That is my experience... I also felt that way when I tried taking welbutrin.

Sorry to hear about that. Please post when you know the results.

Please email me sometime at ***@****. If you are going to any local so cal events regarding racing, I would love to get together and see you.

I know you will come through all of this.

You know, I get these "down feelings" sometimes, like now. I have this cold that everyone on the planet seems to have gotten - the thing just won't die! But am I inccorectly associating it with withdrawels? I think I am.

Its just that when I used to get sick I didn't feel depressed - just sick. Now I feel sick and down.

I don't know, but I hate it. Hope you feel better and if it that you are just sick with the flu, time is on your side.
