Id first like to say, joining this forum is my first decision in improving my current quality of life......Now, has anyone had experience in the withdrawal that comes with the use of hydrocodone? How long does the" flu" last? My treatment is ongoing, but as a full time student, I need more control. I've been in the bed for a month. Suffering from pain from endodemetriosis, polycystic ovaries, and migraines. I have no health insurance, so I use a community care center, and the doctor there just bandaids this all with opiates. I feel as if I am addicted now, but what am I to do? I asked him about helping me to get off, but then what am I to do about my pain? I've have four laporascopic procedures, only to be back at square one 6 months later. I have no kids, but would like one someday. Surely there is a woman on here, or someone with experience that can help me.
