Cant catch a break!

Been sick and out of work for 3 weeks. 1 week was sinus infection, 2nd week was cold turkey off of less than a year opiate abuse,3rd week caught a stomach flu!!! I am over the worst parts of stomach flu, seems like my anxiety from it was much much worse than it was during my withdrawals! Lol . I couldnt get my heart rate down. Anyways i had mild diarreah during withdrawals, no vomiting, but now im i cant seem to stay off the throne for 10mins, this is also my 3rd day of stomach virus, got my appetite back a lil this evening, been drinking fluids, but the diareah has gotten worse than better! Is this my withdrawals still or is this from the stomach flu?

Oh man..you've had a run of it .. literally!   The BRAT diet selfinduced mentions is very helpful.  Try to stay away from dairy products right now and  push the fluids.  It took me many times of trying to quit and it seemed like I got some kind of bug each time.  I think our bodies are worn down from the abuse we gave them and then the withdraws wore us down more.  I see that a lot on here.   If you take a couple immodium and it isn't working, take a couple more.  

And Bubulous... you are too funny!!  I almost spit my coffee out when I read that!!!

You may want to revert to a BRAT diet to ease your system back to fighting shape (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast). Above all stay hydrated and add some gatoraide. If this continues you need to get checked out. Hope you mend and feel like your ole self soon. Congrats on kicking the pills!

I had the same thing. Cold/flu-ct-stomach. I think my body is so whacked from the Percs. Hang in there!

LOL, I guess that is a good way of looking at it.  Don't see the bowels as half full see them as half empty  :)

Yea i tried 3 immodium pills hours ago.. Still hasnt helped.. Well it may have eased up from every 10mins to every 15 mins now. I mean i have got eventually run out!lol

That would be hard to pinpoint, at least for us as we are not doctors lol.  I guess it could be either.  Have you tried any anti-diareah medicine?
