Hey Everyone! I'm sorry I went missing again but all will be explained!
So let's begin with the withdrawal.. if you haven't read previous posts I have been taking slow release pain medication for a while now and I am been slowly trying to get off it. Well once I got to 3mgs twice a day my Dr decided it was time to try to stop. So I started only taking 1 a day for 5 days to completely stopping. Was it ever HELL!!! If anyone has even gone through withdrawals you know what I mean! It is horrible; the shaking, sweating, throwing up. THANK GOD FOR GRAVOL!!! I was taking as much as your allowed to and just tried to sleep through the whole thing. Which in reality might have been a bad idea since its 2 weeks later and i'm still having symptoms.
So now that i'm off it I have been using a lot more of my "break through" medication. Its more like 2-4mgs every 4 hours of hydromorphone. So i'm not really sure if that's any better so I am looking into getting my medical marijuana card, i've never tried it before and i'm curious to see if a cream mixed with the oil can help with my pain topically.
So here in Canada we had Thanksgiving this past weekend. Long story short I threw my diet out the window and enjoyed everything my family and my boyfriend's family made. So as you can imagine I went home every night in horrific pain.. well worth it though.
Now for the worst part of my week. We had to put one of our fur babies down. I will go more into detail on this later this week. We are still kinda dealing with our loss right now so I kinda want to wait until I have accepted everything and her ashes are returned to us.
Today my pain is a.. 6
