Good Morning, You are very welcome, that is why we are all here, to give each other the support it's hard to get from our loved ones' due to them not truly understanding what we are dealing with.
What did your doctor prescribe you for that issue? Just curious. It's a non-narcotic right? Hopefully it is. Cravings? Well, I don't want to lie. Of course I have my days where I crave the "high". I just think about how difficult it is to stop taking these and how agonizing the physical and mental withdrawals are and that helps eliminate the cravings sometimes. I think for a while I will have cravings, part of being an addict I guess. When you try to substitute that craving with another drug or find means to get the Norco is when you fail. So, as as long as I am only "craving" and can get through it, I have to give myself kuddo's for that and not hold the cravings against myself in a bad way :-) May 15th was my last day so that puts me at day 30 today. I'm doing okay. I could be better if I get up and start being more active again. That part has been difficult for me. I guess I'm trying to let my body run the natural course of getting off the pills and I've always been the type of person who just jumps up when the time is right, I think I'll do that when I'm ready to start working out again. I am trying to go outside more, even if it's just to take Brittany for a walk (she's my miniature yorkie). I found that being outside in the sunshine helps a little. I'm really proud of you, I truly am. You are doing fantastic and I hope you are just as proud of yourself. I have been experiencing severe migraines for the past few days. I've had about 5 in the last 4 days. That's more than some people get in a month. I used to get them all the time several years ago and then they went away, now I'm getting them again. Not sure what the cause is but last night it was so painful I actually wrote down all of my personal information in case my son had to call the doctor....that's how bad it was. I am going to try some over the counter migraine medicine first before talking to my doctor. It has been very hot in south Texas and I'm a bit stressed from work and what not. I want to think it's a combination of the ungodly heat and stress so am just seeing what happens. I just don't want to take another prescription just yet so hopefully these will work. Being in so much pain and not having anyone to go to the store for me last night , I had to try and sleep it off. I did pick up some medication Saturday morning (Excedrin Migraine) and later that morning I realized the lady at the grocery store must have missed putting them in my bag because they were no where to be found (that is just my luck)...by the time the next one hit, it was unexpected and I couldn't get up off the couch to go back and deal with the whole customer service/receipt issue. As far as the back pain, I'm trying to stretch a lot and just deal with it. It's bad sometimes but not bad enough to where I have to take the Hydrocodone. I'm just dealing with it I guess. Taking things one day at a time, that's all there is to do.
I want to apologize to you for all the long posts. I am a fast typer and I really don't have anyone to talk to so I guess that is why I write you about this so much. Thank you for taking the time to read them and for being so supportive of me also. Take care and hopefully I'll hear from you soon.
