You know that craving shit is largely dis proven, we all crave stuff when we feel a bit shit Mrs A craved cake !
 
Evey, all opioids work by interfering with your endocrine system, causing it to manufacture less of your natural pain-relieving hormones (endorphins); and reducing your daily intake by 50% is going to affect you. Continual false fatigue is a symptom of this.

What you need is some gentle exercise to try to stimulate endorphin production again. A good long walk in the country would be ideal (and the fresh air won't hurt, either). And reward yourself with some chocolate on your return.

An experiment you can try (with the help of a friend who is a DJ) that might help you understand a bit better: Get a direct-drive turntable (it won't work with any shitty belt-drive toys). Select 33 rpm., remove the mat and spin the platter with your finger until the appropriate row of strobe markings -- 33/50, in the UK -- are steady (meaning you have reached 33 rpm). Start the motor while still turning with your finger, and maintain this for at least another 10 turns. Now take your finger away, while keeping watching the stroboscope markings. They will appear to run backwards, meaning the turntable has slowed down, then return to normal as the motor catches up.

EXPLANATION: The direct-drive turntable is a feedback system. The motor continually adjusts the amount of energy it is supplying to the turntable, so as to maintain a constant speed (there is a sensor embedded in the motor which tells the control electronics how fast it is going). While you are supplying some of that energy with your finger, the motor has less work to do. As soon as you take away that external energy source, the turntable slows down and the motor must now work harder to reach its operating speed. It's a lovely demonstration to watch. [Says the qualified engineer .....]

Now think of the turntable with the motor and its control electronics trying to maintain the correct speed as being like your endocrine system trying to maintain the correct balance of hormones in your body; the motor represents your glands, and your finger represents opioid medication. Reduce your intake, and your hormones will be out of balance until your body can catch up with "normal" under its own steam, as it were.
 
I get your thinking Julie but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work quite like that. After being suppressed for years by exogenous opioid consumption, natural endorphins will no longer work on a direct feedback loop straight away. As the exogenous opioid is removed. It takes quite some time for endogenous endorphin production to catch up. It doesn't happen straight away as soon as the exogenous "brake" is removed as it your record player analogy.

I'd have to study some medical books to come up with a more concise explanation and its a Sunday :)
 
Well, yes. It's a simplification and it isn't perfectly accurate. The crucial difference is, the turntable motor is seriously over-rated for its demand, and can make up the speed in a very short time. Your glands can only manufacture hormones at a limited rate, just enough to cope with expected day-to-day demand variations; and it takes a long time for full production to remove.

A real direct-drive turntable can accelerate from stationary to full speed in a quarter of a turn; if it was more like the body, it would take many turns to reach full speed. (And there would be more live music :))

I could probably think of a closer analogy, but the awkward bit would be devising an experiment that is both safe and can be performed with sensibly-available materials.
 
I loved it when they interview tourettes guys on factual programmes (news, one show etc.) and they can't decide which is more politically correct...Edit out his swear words which would be somehow insulting to the guy suffering the illness or leave them in and risk offending everyone else.....you can almost see the dilemma on the presenters faces....

I know tourettes is a serious illness and shouldn't laugh etc. But I do anyway and I'm sure does almost everyone else. Life's too short :)
 
Lol Julie, at title. That gave me a chuckle, that did.

Right bath n then pressis for me mam; three buquets of flowers from Tesco (as they're small), a teddy, a golden chain n some bensiin fags.

Allein sorry to hear about your wife's mam. That's sad :(

Morning blue crew :)

How's you all?

I've got a couple of direct drives in my loft, anyway of plugging them into my hormone production Julie? About time I found a use for then as I was shit at mixing.. :D

Top of the morning and all that :)

I've got an old direct drive turn table but I recommissioned it a while back, pre amp and all.

If yours are 1210s or something similar I'd get'em on Fleabay, I've got an old mixer up in my loft, just a cheap bedroom quality one so you could get some vinyl and start spinning the wheels of steel
 
Nah they're not 1210's. At the time I thought I'd start of with something a little cheaper incase I didn't take to it. Made the right choice there.. I Sucked....

I've still loads of records, a pioneer mixer etc.. I still want to keep them and have them set up just for Playing vinyl on and incase any of my more capable mates come round for a party..

Looks like I'll be getting myself a bachelor pad in the next few months so I think the time is coming for me to finally set it up again..

Edit - where is SwampDragon???

You'd have to transcend the improbability dimension, short-circuit the matrix and inject the appropriate parameters borrowed from the equations in the simulation of the turntable into the equations for the simulation of your own self. But of course if you could transcend the improbability dimension, then you could more simply pick up on a timeline in which you had never tried opiates in the first place.

Good idea :) You will need some sort of displacement activity to make up for not taking gear anymore, and DJing probably is as good as anything.
 
I'm finally going to get round to restringing my guitar to and try and learn a bit more than the 5 or so Radiohead intros I can play..

Awh.... It's nice to see you planning for the future - didnt know you were into DJing. But as Julie says you'd need a distraction coming off opies.

Good luck with it all. I hope it goes well.

I've yet to play a nice Fender acoustic and I've played a few of them. Spanking electrics though!

I can't say much though as the only acoustics I'm currently working with are an Encore, a Peavey Jack Daniels that my mate left here, and a 'Dream' guitar that was sent over from Thailand. I'd love me a nice acoustic as I rarely play electric anymore.
 
I am so cold so I am making a baby oil/coconut oil mix to slather myself in and trying not to eat my exercise weight away! M&ms are calling :(
