I posted somewhere 8 days ago on here about "I have enough opioids to be comfortable for 5 days followed by severe withdrawal for 5 days OR moderate withdrawal for 10 days" asking which is worse?
Um, yeah, those opioids lasted me 2 days...I then blagged my way to a small amount (28 x 10mg morphine IR pills) more...which lasted 3 days.
I was SO RELIEVED getting those morphine extras I promised myself I was gonna make 'em last...but I slept like 16 hours so woke up in WD and (totally separately TO that) also had an anxiety attack shortly after waking up and ended up taking like 14 of those pills in 10ish hours.
So ran out STILL like 5 days early.
So I then [yeah, yeah, I'm an asshole, wasting valuable NHS resources] malingered having Cauda Equina* which I spent 2 days in hospital for on IV morphine every 4 hours (wooooop). But an MRI ruled CES out. Been at home like 36 hours now in HORRENDOUS withdrawal and just managed to get my doctor to prescribe me a bottle or Oramorph (liquid oral morphine) until I get my regular opioids Fri morning.
I need to REMEMBER the hell of this week and extremes I went to and just MAKE MY MEDS LAST. Why do we forget the hell of WD for the temptation of a high as soon as we're no longer sick?
*I DO have two herniated discs plus sciatica-like pain and weakness in both legs that has gotten rapidly worse recently AND (Yeah I'm fucking nasty) bowel incontinence** so I wasn't full-on malingering as much as exaggerating and deliberately manipulating the presentation of systems to make sure Cauda Equina was their assumption [which if you don't know is a surgical emergency]
**turns out to just be that I now I have ZERO pancreas function so just need Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement to fix that
