Just checkin' in

Hi All,
Just checking in.  I'm only on-line at work and Wednesday our power was out and yesterday I had my epidural so I haven't been in the last two days.  It's snowing here!!!
I started my taper today.  I gave my husband the pills yesterday and he started dispensing them to me today, I don't know where the pill bottle is.
Lots of posts in the last couple of days, wow!  I have a lot of reading to do......
Thanks everybody for your support and encouragement, right back at ya!!!!

Great news, Psyche!  Keep going!

I'm about to start Day 11 and by 9 I felt great except for a little stiffness and some pins and needles here and there.

On Day 4, I started taking L-tyrosine, B-6, and a mineral complex vitamin and ate really bland and healthy. I also got as much exercise as possible.  When all else failed I put my Ipod on and chilled with some music.   I didn't drink caffeine so I wouldn't be jittery.

My accident pain is actually less now that I'm not taking the Norco.  I never would have believed that 2 months ago, but here I am feeling great and incredibly clear headed.  

Stay the course!!
