3 Weeks Under My Belt!!

[G'Kar]

I just wanted to say thank you to all those who responded to me and who post here.  I have been done for just over three weeks now.  I have some physical symptoms remaining, but they are fleeting.  My emotional balance is returning and I am becoming the happy guy I used to be.  I know it has not been that long, but I have a visceral knowledge that I will never go back.  It feels great!!  Far too much pain involved with giving it up to go back.  Time to get on with my life, Warp Drive is back on line!!  I almost have forgotten what it felt like when I was doing my thing.  Thank you, good luck and god bless.

<font face="arial" color="navy" size="2">Hey y'all...I didn't post here for quite awhile...I found even reading the names of the drugs over and over was too much! But now that I have almost 6 mos clean on me, I wanted to say hey to you all and let you know that I'm here for anyone needing an ear or two. Using made me overweight and lethargic...now I just had new "skinny pics" made!!! (Attached is one, as I am so pround since I didn't have this flat a gut BEFORE the meds LOL)

If I can do it, ANYONE can...the pain is hard, yeah. But being in control...nothing beats it!
<P>

Hey, I've missed you words. Just anything you write is interesting to me. The last time we interacted was about my father. I want to thank you for helping. He's doing good, still on the med, but the dr. seems to be real understanding and will help him.I'm also feeling a bit more positive now. How's things with you? Shotsy

Shea,

You did it, congradulations. Stick to it for a week or two then tell that idiot MD that 2 5mgs of vicodin won't do more than relieve gas. Let him know you are cooperating then ask for a reaonsable dose. We are seasoned sitazens when it comes to hydrocodone. He needs to get real. I know what pain is and so do you. So, after you've been a good patient go back with hubby and, if you are still haveing pain ( not cravings :--/) tell him you want a reasonable dose. 10 mgs 3 - 4 times a day is accepted dose for moderate pain. If that doesn't work, time to really Docshop and, kudos for going through with it. You are stronger than you know.

Kept/ing you in my thoughts.

I'm glad to hear you got through your dr. appt's OK and that you're getting some relief, though I know there are issues remaining for both of you. I know I get too caught up in wondering what my doctor is thinking, desiring approval, afraid he thinks I'm doing something wrong (well, sometimes I am, but anyway...) It's hard for us to seek the treatment we need, esp. if we are beyond "innocence" as far as meds are concerned. So I commend you both & wish you luck working this all out in the future. -- Milo
