Day 7

[InNeed88]

Well this has for sure been a roller coaster but i'm happy to say i've made it a week!! Last night was very VERY tough for me cause I was in extreme pain in my lower back and hip...But i stuck to my guns, Tried advil an ice pack a hot bath and than just said screw it and tried to sleep.
I can feel myself getting better already, and i havent had many nights where i've had a awful time sleeping except day 1 and last night i laid there awake for a while. The thing that's tripping me up in my head is, why is it that i felt excellent yesterday morning woke up feeling great and felt great till my hip started hurting, But than today i wake up and hit my snooze  button 100000 times and just have no energy or motivation to even move?? Is that normal? I just gotta pressing on ,Cant wait till the day that all of this is just a memory in the BACK of my mind that I dont have to think about except to laugh one day and say ya i'm strong im made it back to having a real life, I got to start over! I just would like that day to be soon...But patience is a virtue...BLAH BLAH BLAH

I'm wondering do any of you have those moments where your just confused, where before you knew the right thing to do or say or how to act or not, and you just cant seem to figure it out??
I feel like something just isnt working right up in the ol' brain of mine-Sheesh i'm to young for this :(  I also keep getting dizzyish and more headaches..Is that normal?

I really hope it does get easier with time, even though i know im better off without them pills i still feel like theres days where my will power cant even get my butt out of bed to enjoy the day! I love hearing all the positives from everyone.
I did make a Physiologist apt for tomorrow, i'm hoping having that outlet as well will help

Congrats on 7 days! Yes, what you are feeling is normal! There will continue to be good days where you feel great, and then days where the fatigue really kicks in! The farther you move along, you will have more good days! Stay as active as possible! The more I do, the more I get accomplished, the better I feel!

Take care and keep moving forward!! Best wishes!

Well thank you..I am proud of myself-Very... Which at times is the only thing keeping me from turning back. Out of everyone i've told*family and friends* about my issues and that i've stopped dont seem to really care they're like o that's cool we didnt even know you had a problem. Which i guess is good that i hid it well but really not like that's a good thing.

I was a Daily user for sure. I was on Norco 10's for around 5 years, not daily until the last 3 years.. than it was like 6 a day or so it'd fluctuate, some days i'd only take 3 all day and others i'd take 8 and i knew it was a problem when i would start taking one in a stressful situation or if my and my bf would start fighting or just any situation i didnt feel good in i'd take one and all way fine. Now my issues are trying to figure out how to navigate life without my little bubble around me*aka pills*

I have my Doctor on my side pushing me , he is thinking of starting me on cymbalta or pristique and i'm not sure how i feel about that, He says it will help with the real pain and the slight depression but I dont know if I wanna put anymore drugs in my body. I'm already on Adderall XR for ADD/ADHD and i even eventually wanna stop taking that, But for now i think its the only thing acutally helping with my energy level.

yes n the begining of being clean its totally normal to feel amazing then out of nowhere feel awful.It just takes time which is crappy to hear I know but everyday u will get a little better and u still dnt know ur actual pain level just yet but keep trying otc meds,heat,ice etc to find out what works for u.Congrats on day 7.Thats a milestone(I assume u were using daily)I remember at a week realizing how long it had been since I went a week w/o opiates and I was so proud u should be too.
