I believe it is my last day today/tomorrow ( Monday ) of my Tapering off of Codeine. However the after effects are still plaguing me terribly, Esp this pain in my damn shoulder that travels down my arm ( Bicep ) to my Elbow and fingers as if Im being stabbed with a red hot knitting needle.
I have slight tinges in my left leg and have to keep adjusting and the damn hot flushes ! OMFG !
I believe this will drive me nuts before I begin to feel normal again, I just with the withdrawal symptoms would take a damn hike now, I am very tired of them and their constant need to prevent me from sleeping let alone having any kind of * normality * whatever that is !
Yesterday the Chemist ( UK ) gave me 6 tablets ( Codeine ) 3 for Sat and 3 for Sun. But where I was so so tired and forelorn with no sleep or rest I took 3 in the afternoon ( Sat ) and then 3 Sat night and went to bed at 3 am woke at 1pm in the afternoon.
BUT the feeling I had upon waking was as if I was the living dead with alot of dizziness and sickness.
A reminder as to WHY I am coming off this drug.
I have tried sleep aids.. they do not help me at all.
I have hot baths but they seem to trigger my M.E symptoms an thus make them even worse.
