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.

Hey guys,

Have you noticed that the forum is letting us post a lot more new questions lately??  It used to be very difficult to post one. Lately it seems a lot easier. Not so frustrating. Hate to post a new one in the middle of another thread, but sometimes we have no choice.

I am wigging out.  tHis isn't working for me.  How can ANYONE function while trying to get this stuff out of their lives.  Besides the fact that my back/hip problem is still causing physical pain...I am completely useless without pk.  I can't do anything.  I am tired, I can't think straight, i'm soooo depressed.  I can't leave the house.

I couldnt function when I was gtting off the Vicodin, so I didn't. I took time off work and did it combined with a lot of leisure and hot tubs.

I realize that this may not be possible for everyone, or for you. My point is, imo, put every other activity on hold until you have at least 5 days of CT under your belt, if possible.

Are you using the thomas recipe?

I'm not clean, I just can't find any today and I'm SO SICK of depending on these things.  I take care of myself completely.  I put myself thru college, I live on my own, and now everything is going to **** and i can't get myself into work, I'm running out of savings.  i'm a goddamn mess now and it is ALL BECAUSE OF PK.  I can't go thru the two weeks of not having any because I CAN'T function and I am suicidal and I can't put my life on hold for that long.  

I am crying so hard right now.  I want to talk to my boyfriend (he knows what's going on) but I feel like a little baby and he can't possibly understand what I'm dealing with.  I don't know what to do but I'm having a break down.

You need to call a doctor or family memeber you trust like right now, and level with them. Can you do that?

The thoughts you are having are driven by the medicine and if you think about that, you will find that Im right.

It sounds like, before the pills, life was OK. Even so, the pills likey wacked out your emotions and now they are on the edge!

One of the turning points for me, was admitting to friends and family, and my dr that I was dependent. They then help me put a plan to together. Once you have a plan, then there's hope.

WIll pray for you...
