It was silk cuts IIRC. I only ever smoked one lambert and butler, I cadged it off someone in the street.

Before you start, I moved onto B&H pretty quick.

Anyway, I think I've taken this thread quite far enough off topic. Back to the PAIN!
 
Fuck I've rarely been in this much pain. WDs are making my neck injury act up almost as strongly as right after the accident, except that at the time I was rx'ed a shitload of meds to help me with it :( it's like someone is dragging a knife as slowly and deeply as possible from the top of my skull down to the middle of my back. And every single muscle in my upper body seems to be tense to the point of snapping. Gaaaaaaah. I wish I still had my old tetrazepam and oxy prescriptions. Think I may have to go to A&E and beg for sympathy and relief 8(
 
I've done that on more than one occasion, Pagey... Doesn't generally do more than annoy the staff though. They don't tend to appreciate such things in my experience. Is always gonna look like drugseeking no matter how legit the pain is when you mention that you're also in withdrawal... and not gonna believe why the sudden flare-up that can't wait for the morning otherwise :\

But if you have a quiet and friendly A&E unit (on a Saturday night 8o) it'll at least pass a few hours in the waiting room...

Sounds like you're having a properly shitty night, Pagey :(<3

Wish I could be more upbeat about the chances of a trip to A&E being worthwhile but... have you never been to A&E on a weekend 8( - hour upon hour of waiting amongst the drunks only to be told you're wasting their time is about as good as it gets really :|
 
Yeah true :( well I probably wouldn't tell them I'm in withdrawal since considering I'd be looking for opiate-type painkillers that would probably kill all my chances...blah. Probably isn't worth the waiting and judgmental stares.
It's just I've got this nerve stuck between my cervicals, usually bearable but tonight it seems to have made it its mission to get me to relapse.

Yup I've had better nights, I think it was just really stupid of me to have a big night out last night and stuff when my body's struggling enough as it is :( can't wait for all this to be over, it better be worth it seriously, hah.
Thanks for all the support Shambles <3

FWIW, it really does get easier. Withdrawals make you feel pains you never knew you had at the best of times but for folks with actual pains too... is no fun at all. Believe me I know :|

From what I've read of your circumstance you must be mostly passed the worst of the physical side soon though. Getting lashed whilst clucking often seems like a good idea... til the hangover kicks in 8o

I find a lot of the physical pain is mainly tied into the mental/emotional stuff - is more headpain than bodypain no matter how much it actually hurts. Vicious circles tend to ensue... But the added physical stress passes a lot sooner than you might think - especially when it feels like it really won't. It does <3
 
You're right you're right. It was the same thing when I got off benzos last year but when you're in it it's hard to remember it's only temporary, even if you've experienced it before I guess :\

Yeah, day 5 so I expect it should be all right after another day or two. I've got absolutely nothing planned tomorrow so I think I'll just spend the day in the bed or bathtub haha, should help. Words of wisdom anyway, I'm just trying to stay strong and not make the easy call for pain relief. Plus I'm seeing a new doctor next week who'll hopefully have some new treatment ideas.

<3
 
Sounds like a plan, Pagey. If you're really wanting to quit then there really is nothing much that's gonna help much during the acute stage. It just hurts and is shite is all. And it passes <3

Good luck with the new doc. I don't know you're specific situation really but there are always a variety of options for dealing with pain. In some cases opiates really are the answer... but there's a difference betwixt medicating and abusing. Apparently. Basically I think it comes down to whether or not you enjoy taking your medicine a wee bit more often than you should. Other than that it's all the same really. Addiction is in the mind not the body innit.
 
Indeed...well, at least we can all hail the NHS for OTC codeine. Could be worse I guess :p

Cheers - it's just so frustrating cuz I feel like I've tried absolutely everything. Opiates, benzos, NSAIDs, physio-therapy, random yoga/relaxation techniques, etc etc. and nothing helps. They don't want to try anything too drastic because if they try to crack the bones back into place it could paralyse me if not done right :!
But yeah agreed. I don't see the big difference in the case of a patient taking his meds 'responsibly' every day, it's still an addiction really. What kills me is I mean, I don't need to go through doctors to score drugs, if I want my own opiates for fun I can get them myself - this is legit because I don't think I should be self-medicating. I'm worried though because this is a uni doc and since my psychiatrist is also at the uni and knows about my heroin use I'm afraid the new guy might know.
urghhhh. Haha. Sorry for the long rant!

Snap. Or hopefully not. Either way, I feel your pain. My problem is down to a deformed vertebrae - the very top one that's wrapped tight around the brain stem so no can fixee with surgeree or bone crackaree or owt. Other than that your situation does sound rather familiar... convincing the NHS you have legit pain ain't easy even when they diagnosed it themselves :\
 
Lol yeah, 'snap' isn't so appropriate here ;) I'm sorry to hear you've gotta go through that as well though, it's awful. How dyou manage to deal with it?
 
Mixture of prescribed minor opies and benzos and non-prescribed decent ones mostly. Am on the waiting list for a specialist pain clinic but has taken me forever to even get on the waiting list given my history of opi/benzo abuse. You'd think they'd never heard of self-medicating :|
 
Aah that sucks. I really know a ridiculous number of people in your situation with the pain clinic. Hope you'll be able to see someone soon :(
 
Yeah they kinda seem to hand them out like candy over there don't they? I'd always heard the UK were super strict about their prescriptions, wasn't great to see it's true :\
France is weird, they'll give you benzos for literally anything (I mean they'd probably prescribe them because you were a little anxious about your upcoming exam) but when it comes to opies, good luck getting anything stronger than codeine.
I mean I get why they're suspicious and it's good that there are so many restrictions on pain pills but ffs, gotta stop ignoring legit patients too...
 
Think it was mostly a cultural hangover here really. Blitz spirit and all that. If yer leg isn't actually hanging off then it's really rather bad form to mention it at all kinda stuff. Such bollox. Thankfully us Brits whine more with every passing generation so things are slowly getting better I think... Painfully slowly, naturally 8)
