Awww man, you didn't disappoint anyone. If you are in pain, you are doing nothing by taking pain medication specially if you are taking it the way you're suppose to and especially if you are truly in pain. Don't beat yourself up over something that you did nothing wrong about sweetie. I'm here for ya, and if ya need to talk I'll be up for a little bit longer. Thinking and praying for ya, Lil. :)
Ah.... I slipped. I just can't stand this pain. I'm wimp. One of my member happen to have vicodin so she gave me some to last until I see dr next week for appt. I don't really think I can quit at this time. It's just so hard for me due my bulge disc and sciata (spell?) I have some numbness on my left leg. Its unbearable for me to tolerate it. Yeah, I'm wimp. :( Well, I'll talk to DR and would need to see pain management - you know to inject steriods, etc in my back to see if that helps and probably PT too. I just dont want to suffer with back pains anymore. I'll do whatever it takes to make it better... one morning waking up with no back pain at all, that is what I want. I just want my life back the way it was before I had back problem, you know? I'm only 31, going on 32 in 6 months. I know I just can't keep taking pain meds. Sorry, I just could not keep going on so I slipped. Sorry I disappointed you all. :(
This is about when the w/d get to be their worst...from what most say it is the first 24-72 hrs that are most difficult. In your heart do you want to quit? You are off to a good start and it is hard but it is worth it to get your life back! If you go back to the drugs, you know where that will lead....worrying about when you will run out again! You are better than that so be tough and strong! Keep yourself well hydrated, Motrin 800mg every 8 hours. I know you are in pain but the w/d intensify this too! If you are an addict the drugs will not be as effective for the pain anyway...you will haved to keep taking more and more!
Good Luck and keep posting!
