I'm trying so hard...I really am...

This is getting so hard! I haven't taken any of the Tylenol 3's yet but I'm getting close. I went and got regular Sudafed hoping that would help and its not helping yet. Thinking maybe I need to take it for a full day and see if it helps before I give in to the T-3's....idk. It really stinks that I can't eat something that I really want or something that even sounds good at this point! I did put some donut holes in the microwave and got them super soft and managed to eat them practically w/o chewing them up so at least I did get something in my belly today but I'm still hungry darn it!

And I didn't hear from the dentist today about an appt for seeing if they can make the obturator. They said I would hear from them today :( I tried to call them and they evidently must've closed early or something. Grrr.

Maybe I'm being too stubborn about not taking the T-3's. Even though it was methadone that I was on, and these are sooo much weaker, I still feel like it would be a relapse, whether its needed or not. Ohhhh what do I do??? What do y'all think?

Stop being stubborn. T3s won't put you back into withdrawls. Your torturing yourself at this point. And stressing out more. And that stress will make pain more intense because your not relaxed. Please don't suffer uneedfully.

That's what I thought you'd say. NSAIDs do your stomach in really fast. It's too bad for us that they have that side effect BC they really work so well on swelling. My doctor had me on Naproxin for my back and I burned my stomach in no time.

Han in there I have never done methadone but I have been on similar and they take a little longer ... I dont have much to add but I totaly agree with the above  I would take the t 3s for the pain..also see if you can get something for nausea from ur doc.Imy doc gave me promethazine and it is a great med. Im sorry you are in pain and going throuhg withdrawals it is so hard .I can relate. The pain in your stomach could be  from the 800s try taking them with bread...

Tylenol#3 makes me sick, as well,  but I know it's because I've taken it on an empty stomach.  I think this is a wonderful excuse to eat ice cream!!

So...do you have an infection in your sinus due to the hole?

Quit being stubborn and take the T3!!    :))

It's not a relapse, it's pain management.  And I hate seeing you suffer in pain. If you find yourself taking more than you should, then make sure you don't have access to them.

OpenMind...I've been taking as many ibuprofen as I can handle, but with not being able to eat, they're killing my stomach. Idk if I've given myself an ulcer or what because now when I cough I have this one spot in my belly that hurts pretty bad...but only when I cough? That's kinda weird isn't it?
