day 6

[yllwjcket]

im on day 6 ct from percs/hydro and just wanted to say how much reading this site has helped me, hearing that everyone else knew what it felt like and made it through was really what gave me hope.  for the first few days my back pain was intolerable so i began bee sting therapy again, something i did before the opiates, and honestly the pain from 10 bee stings a day was better than the back pain, this still did nothing for the WD's  which were agony.  but it has gotten noticebly better everyday, i guess my brain is relearning how to deal with pain, i also had a steriod shot on day 3 and it helped.  i still havent slept more than an hour or two a day and i was wondering if i drank a few beers if i could get to sleep or would drinking hinder my progress?

thanks to everyone who shared on here, this forum has been a life saver.

its an old treatment for arthritis and such.  bee venom is one of the most powerful anti-inflam's known to man..supposedly.   it hurts, and takes your mind off the chronic pain,  it increases blood flow and dissolves scar tissue. hell, but works as a last resort for pain.

Drinking will definitely hinder your progress. Not a good idea. Try an herbal sleep aid such as Melatonin.

And now I have to know, what in Heaven's name is bee sting therapy? OUCH!
