Migraines
Dr. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with rebound headaches/migraines when detoxing from Percocet. I have a constant throbbing of a vessel on one side of my head and its really painfull; i have a hx of migraines but this is the longest- Its been 6 days. The only time i dont have a migraine is when i sleep. Is there anything I can take apart from anelgesics? Do Imitrex or Amerge work on rebounds?
Thank you
Thank you
What exactly is it about golf and drinking buddies that makes you men go brain dead for a day. I mean that in a loving way...really. :0) Seriously though, my husband smokes pot daily and doesn't really like to drink but if one of his "golf buddies" calls then I know he's getting drunk and probably going to a strip bar. The odd thing is that the whole group tells their wives "I only go because they want to, and I only drink because they are" but nobody ever seems to be the one to suggest it. Just curious, its one of those thorns in life I guess I just have to bear.
Hey T, the back is getting better every day.
Could it be that in effect I have no back pain at all? Could I have been this dishonest to myself all along? Could it be that I mentally developed this supposedly severe back pain just to get my precious Vicodin?
Don't answer that!;-)
Because I think I already know the answer. Yes I probably have some back pain, you know that same pain that everybody on the planet has around the time they turned 40. The real question is "does this pain require a four-year regiment of powerful narcotic painkillers?".
When I lay the question out this way, it is absurd in its nature. Of course I do not need painkillers. And one of the things that bugs me the most is that I am giving a bad name to those folks out there who legitimately need painkillers for real honest to goodness pain.
Tomorrow will be 50 days. I may not always feel this strong, but for today I can say there is no way I'm going back.
Thanks for asking.
As far as your party goes, I do not really need to comment, do I? You know, something about playing with fire, slippery slopes, mixing nitro with glycerin, living on the edge.... Etc.
I could say all of those things but I won't ;-).

Haven't forgotten about you girl.

Praying for ya...

Hi tee - Yeah, I'm doing moderately OK; I've relasped a little bit, but trying to get back on track. This time of year is always depressing to me; between Jan-Feb. I've just been mostly reading the past few days, SO many informative and great posts-I'm just absorbing it all. I feel so blessed to find this forum; so many good people and a wealth of great posts. Hope you're doing OK - and don't worry about me, despite the relaspe, I'm damned and determined to get through this thing. Love/Peace, Lisabet
Hey Tee,
Thanks for the congrats but maybe you didn't see the par of the course I was playing...68!!! I know that's not too bad but for me, but I play at least 3 times a week & I'm at the range at least 4 times a week...& I have for almost 2 years now. Maybe I'm just used to exceeding in all my sports REALLY quickly & golf is so inconsistent...well at least MY game is. I played a little par 31 pitch-n-putt last night & golfed a 59!!! TERRIBLE. That's just 3 strokes away from a total bogey round. I'll be ready to play a few rounds with you in about 10 to 15 years at this rate.
Anyways Tee,
How've ya been? You're still tapering right? Hope that all is well with that because if I make it out to your neck of the woods this year, we have some golf to play. You're up in the Texas area aren't you? Let me know because it looks like I have a pretty busy travel schedule this year (already) & in June, I'll be in Houston for 6 days.
FINISHED!!

Good round, yeah I've got the tapering down to 1 - 2 a day wish it was 0. Like you I can't take the anti-inflammatories, thats why I started hydro. I live 100 miles east of Houston off I-10. You have my email, when it gets closer we must set something up. It takes me 1 1/2 hours to get to Houston, I'll take you to play golf! Hope you get better and thanks for all the support!
Ola Lisabet! Hope your doing okay!
