hi

[bluemonkey]

not sure if I did this when i was around before so... hi everyone I am a law student I have CP ( cerberal palsy) and up until a few months ago I used a walker but, i use a chair now thanks to a dr messing with my hip and making the pain associated with the dislocation worse ( hence i have been back on hydro for a bit). Anyway, I am here because I am trying to get off hydrocodine. ATM, I am maintaining myself on lope and tapering. Others may disagree with this course but, it's really the best I can do. Insurance won't cover more sanctioned forms of maintenance and my missionary parents would blow a fuse if they knew I was dependent on anything. For a disabled person family stays much more involved in life for much much longer. I am in my 30s and still on the parents "christian bill sharing" insurance alternative thing...but, back to the point, I am down from 19mgs of lope a week ago to 12mg today. I am functioning more efficiently on the lope than i was on the hydro and this is the first week in ages that I have not had a migraine. btw is there a good place to post about my experience as i walk through this and update it etc? it would be great to have a place to vent/share
thanks,
Nikie
