Long term effects in painkiller addiction
I have had an addiction to codiene phosphate for a few years. My GP is aware of this, and we are gradually coming of it.
But will there be any long term damage to my internal organs?
I have never been above 120mg a day. Has this already caused me problems, or is it unlikely? I must say, I originally took this for migraine. . not effective for that now, but still have to take it. All done through my GP and have never experimented with any drugs even tobacco!

Wow,,, well, as much as I hate to say this.....everything happens for a reason...soemthing good will come from all of this.....if you need me Kerrie you know I am here...I still check my mail.....I may not get online as much as I do at home but I will at least be on once or twice...my friend has a son in a situation bad scene.....alot of trouble and his wife is facing major felonies.....I feel so bad for all of this....hang on you'll be fine.......God is with you...Love to all love cin
I'm so sorry sweetie! I'm was happy to hear of your good news about your not having a tumor, but it seems you just deserve to get a break with things so you can relax and enjoy life for a change. Many hugs and prayers for you and your daughter.
Going through turmoil with a husband is one thing, but with a child, that must rip your heart in two. I have three children (8, 5, and 1), and i hope and pray that one day, this ugly, nasty disease does not attack them because i know, genetically, they are vulnerable!
You take it as you can, and wait on that test. Give yourself a little time to recover from the stress of all the medical doctors, because i could imagine, it gets old fast!
I pray the right thing will happen with your daughter. Sometimes, the thing that seems awful at the time, ends up being the best thing for a person!
Love and prayers, Jenny

Hello Everyone,
Your words brought me to tears. Your genuine concern for others and your faith in God is truly evident. Thank you all.
I wanted to share some news with you about my daughter. She has hit another obstacle. She went to her doctor the other day and was escorted out by the police. They said some girl she knew told them she had picked up her prescriptions at two pharmacies. I know this isn't true because the pharmacies said the girl was lying. However,the girl knows she's been to many doctors and uses many pharmacies and I think she told them this .They refused to give her records to her and the results of an MRI she had done and was suppose to get the results to. I know she didn't pick up those scrips but she was heading for this sooner or later. She talked to a lawyer because the one pharmacy she went to ,the girl told them pharmacist my daughter took one from another pharmacy and the pharmacist said she would testify against the girl. I think it's in her best interest to drop it because she was using her insurance under her last married name and her present married name and they will discover this if she persues it. I fear disaster is near. She does crazy things when she can't get meds.So I ask you all to keep this in your prayers. Gods will be done not mine. I know I can't do anything. I've tried.I've begged her to come to this forum and just read. But she won't.
Continue to keep me in your prayers. The pain is rough these last few days. Their trying me on a new medicine for the reflux.It's called Nexium. It's a new one from Prilosec. So far it's no good. I'm suppose to have a colonoscopy on Tuesday but I think I have decided enough is enough for a while.
Have a good day and Cindi, have a great time dear. Love you all. You have all become a special part of my life. Thank you all.
God Bless,
Kerrie

I just reread the Chipping Post, from back in May. Gosh I missed you guys last week. Wizard, lovely Jennyfla and Cindi who I hope to met in Fla. over the summer. Chad from Philly! where are you? JAY JAY? Spook? I'm so happy for Kerri. Thomas, Milo and Francois, you know guys we should have a reunion. If I ever win the lottery I'll fund it! Someone Please come up with a name we could call ourselves, we could even have T-shirts and balloons printed. Maybe somewhere out west we could met, or Fla. to be close to sunshine, the ocean, and of course Cindi and Jenny will already be there.....Ah wishful thinking....I hope we will stay close, I've seen many leave here......Love you Guys....Susan
