hi from the SW UK.

[puddlediver]

well to be honest i am not even sure how i came to be on this site , except i have been dependant on fentanyl for about 14 or so years now, but legally. ( how people can gain enjoyment from this stuff is beyond me as i have never even had a gentle buzz nevermind any sort of high, but shit who am i to judge, each to there own) i have CRPS, Bilateral TOS , fybro, IBS and a whole host of side effects from totally screwed up operations that i was conned in to having by a surgeon, that i never actually needed but also because he thought it would be a good time to use me as his guinea pig and fuck what long term problems he caused me (pardon my french)

so for basically along with a whole host of other so called strong meds i was at one point on 250mcg of fent patches, every 3 days this was for nearly 8 years, now after changing my docs, my new doc has been trying to force me to reduce my levels (not a bad thing but just not how he does it)

so one very rough night a few month ago i happened across this site on the very edge of swan diving off the local cliffs and came across what turned out at the time to be a god send, the art of using imodium to lesson the effects i was getting hammered with at the time.

so i finally decided to post up and say hi to all while i continue my reading/ learning journey of self help/ discovery across this site in both the good and the bad times.

so hello to all

Hey there

Sounds like you've had a tough run. Pain meds are a nightmare for a lot of people, especially in the kind of dosages you've been on.
I'm glad to hear bluelight was able to help you out in a tight spot - there are heaps of folks here that are in similar positions, so i hope we can provide the sort of useful information and support you need, and maybe even a bit of amusement along the way as well.

Welcome
