The anxiety really stinks.. be glad when mine eases up. I've always had anxiety, expecially around social situations. . But never this bad.. . Hang in there the both of u! Your doing great..
I hear ya Patty, I never had anxiety issues either before the dang pills. Same here, on the prickles, except I have referred those feelings, like pin pricks, all in the same, prickles, pin pricks, I just hate it, very annoying for darn sure.
Your foot. Great, glad is doing so good.
I never had a problem with anxiety before these darn pills so I am really hoping that once my brain starts functioning better that I will go back to no anxiety. I really don't like this anxiety stuff. I have named it "The Pricklies". I will be doing fine and then I feel prickly all over.
And my foot is doing awesome. That doc is amazing.
Thanks all. Patty hope your foot isn't hurting today. Yeah, I figured I would be the same as you, the anxiety would be really out of site. You know if it weren't for the darn anxiety this would sure be a lot easier, right?
Thanks again
I had to go to the foot doctor on monday for a mass on the side of my foot. Every step felt like razor blades. I thought it was just an initial consultation so I wasn't too worried.
It was the first time I have been to any doctor without opiates in my system in over fifteen years! So that alone made me a little apprehensive. I want to say that I really trust this doc and his judgement-he is one of the few good ones.
Well long story short, he came in and looked at my foot and next thing I knew he had numbed it a little and got out his scary tools and removed the mass on my foot!!! By the time he was done (and it was only a couple minutes) I was drenched in sweat from head to toe and shaking like a leaf.
He asked me if it really hurt that bad and I told him no not really and then told him That I had just taken myself off pain meds a little over a month ago after using them for over 15 years. He said WOW in that case he thought I did remarkably well and told me that I probably should have told him that in the beginning. I told him that he hadn't given me a chance but that I was glad it had worked out the way it did because now it was over, I didn't have a chance to get myself worked up and that I survived it.
But I am not going to lie, the anxiety I felt was through the roof. But you know what? I survived it and it really wasn't that bad.
Hope this helps and doesn't contribute to your fear. Thinking of you Patty
Yes Krissy

Ya I have. But aren't you 20+ days clean or something now? You still having bad withdrawls?
