Actually I feel like crap. I know I need to quit smoking. I'm starting to feel bad everyday.

I think I need to take a break from opiates too. But I have freaking pain. I don't want to suffer.

I take my meds everyday with no days off. I don't take persay huge amounts. 20-40 mg hydrocodone and 3 soma a day.

Last time I didn't take any was like a year ago.

I think I'll start with quiting smoking tomm.
 
Good luck Zoeylynn!! I used to smoke 1-2 packs a day but I've cut it down to about 5 cigarettes a week.
Quick question here- should I be worried about pain in my upper back when I breathe? It's on the right side of my back and has been nagging me for months and months. I can't breathe deeply anymore because of it.

I'm out of my medicine again. 50mg of hydrocodone just doesn't do it help the knees.

I would def get that checked out. It could be a pinched nerve. It could be something serious. It's probably nerves but your mind will be at peace once you know.
 
seems like i have been away for weeks, still waiting for my anti psychotic to start working properly and been in huge amounts of pain so my body has been shutting down for days at a time. it is like my brain decided to hibernate to protect me from my pain it has been happening for years and on Friday it was the 3rd anniversary of my accident so been depressed as shit and i have sores on my legs from the damn wheelchair.

hope everyone is having a better time than i am, love and healing to you all <3
 
Cannot post much now due to lack of time ...but I wanted to say I can definitely relate to what you're going through in many ways.
I know it doesn't do any good, but hang in there.

QUOTE=BiggDirty01;10834717]Glad you made it through everything JKTM, stay strong and keep posting...it helps trust me.

As for me, the folks were gone last 3 days, and since PM Doc appt is not for 10+ days and I've only been tested once in 7 months I picked up some medical cannabis but got WAYYYYY to high, to my own detriment since my sister and the parents house keeper kept calling the folks to tell them how high as fuck I was.

Made for a pleasant wake up today, straight into the barrage....oh well, the bud helps with the pain (on top of my meds) but I am certainly not like I used to be with tolerance to cannabis, and I can hardly remember the last 2 nights. Gotta shape up on that end.

Plus, these 2 surgeries in 6 months has helped me put on all the weight I lost in rehab last year and makes my strung out OC-days at 180 lbs (I am 6'5) much to be desired.

Still waiting on MRI results, I am so fucked if they come back showing problems with the fusing of the bone or union of the titanium rods coming from two separate directions (3 seperate approaches in 3 surgeries).

I guess showing slow healing but no physical problem is a problem for me too as it puts me in a position of having my meds cut down despite the fact I am still in so much freaking pain.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend...[/QUOTE]
 
Thanks all for the advice and well wishes on my return/acknowledgement of safety...

Well, my doc didn't drop me, but she might as well have...She refuses to treat my pain and anxiety anymore due to my "suicide attempt"...bitch...

So I get to wait a week to get into an Intensive Out-Patient Program that I attend...is it 3 or 5 days a week?...dunno...but I took my last kpin about 6 hours ago and can already feel it's muscle relaxant properties fading...I'm scared lmao...I have a feeling if I don't seroquel myself to sleep for the next week I'll be in the ER/Urgent Care making another 150/75 dollar co-pay just to get relief...I was having panic attacks in the BHC on 1mg Xanax QID, and I get near panic attacks at home on 2mg kpin BID, so I can only imagine the hell I'm about to go through...doesn't help that my stressors include my niece and nephew...is it bad that their high pitched shrill voices and send me into anxiety?

Anyways...I averaged about a 6-6.5 today, so about average...ready for a new patch though...this shit sucks lol...waiting on a box of CCC's to kick in to dissociate me a bit...maybe provide mild anesthesia for a few hours...(and I know the dangers of THC so don't waste your finger strength (breath) on me lmao)...

Hope the rest of you have the least painful day possible...

Doug, your not alone when it come to kids you love irritating you for no reason besides their existence. I love my kids but they get on my last nerve everyday. It's normal. Just know they are kids and can't help being annoying.

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I don't see why the dr is treating you that way. I hope things get better. Why did she do this? You attempted suicide and so she isn't going to help you any more? Wtf? Am I missing something? How could she legally do this?
 
imo, you shouldn't be treated by the same doctor for pain and anxiety anyway. not to sound judgemental: also imo, there are much better ways of dealing with anxiety than steady doses of benzos. have you tried therapy?

let me tell you i can sympathize with being aggravated by kids. i have a nephew that no jury in the world would convict me for murdering.

^^^THIS! I don't understand what doctor prescribes both, anxiety medications should be handled by psychiatry, and opioids by pain management.

A lot of pm drs do this because anxiety effects pain levels. Also Xanax does decrease pain and relaxes the body. I think in some contracts it says something like all scheduled drugs are to come from one dr or something. My old pm dr was a addictionologist and Psychiatrist. He gave me Xanax 2mg bar 1 a day. 1/2 morning 1/2 night. It knocked me out.
 
Fabulous!!! I took my meds in full doses instead of 1/2 doses and was pain free almost all day. It was great. I nodded for a hr this evening and woke up refreshed and not so grippy.

I think I texted everyone I talk to today :p

Tomm I'm going to see my granny and pick up some stuff from her house. They are cleaning it out. She will never live there again. :(
