Arthritis pain

[sharonver]

As I am trying to taper from methadone, I recently discovered that my lyme arthritis pain is coming back full form!  The meth has been masking it all of these years. My dilema now is should I continue the taper & detox and finish it and try to maintain on another med for the pain.

Don't forget "humility" .... "Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings"(step 7). I do think we are selling ourselves short if we don't realize the true potential we have for healing. I don't think Thomas really meant to suggest that an addict is "hopeless". The brain connections have been altered .... they will change back. Period. The twelve step program is awesome. It's the spiritual connection. It's hard to place principles above personalities and just let it work on you, but I have seen some miracles over the years. There were people that I never thought would get straight ....and they did it through the program. I can only say good things about it .... Ive been in AA OA NA Alanon, Naranon and I'm on my way to GA next. (The stock market has been kicking my butt) ha ha .... Goldie

Hi Rex, always a pleasure to hear from you. To answer your question, of course there is hope for me -- just depends on what you're hoping for.

And, no, I haven't heard from Bodymechanic. Last I knew, he was doing well on the buprenorphin. I'll let you know if I hear from him.

I hope you are well, my friend.

I take it by your reply that I am NOT invited to your birthday party?

Thanks...but as bad as 1 rod sounds...I have 2!!! Along with a new plate, pin & a handful of screws...& a broken wrist!!! The pain IS bad but not to the point where I'll be popping pills like Pez. (I love Pez) Thanks for the prayers. They're my favorite narcotic. You, Rex, Suz, MrsRat, Tee & so much more are my pushers. Thanks for the ULTIMATE HIGH!!!

FINISHED!!
