Ya I have. But aren't you 20+ days clean or something now? You still having bad withdrawls?
Yes Krissy
Lots of anxiety
I had to go to the foot doctor on monday for a mass on the side of my foot. Every step felt like razor blades. I thought it was just an initial consultation so I wasn't too worried.
It was the first time I have been to any doctor without opiates in my system in over fifteen years! So that alone made me a little apprehensive. I want to say that I really trust this doc and his judgement-he is one of the few good ones.
Well long story short, he came in and looked at my foot and next thing I knew he had numbed it a little and got out his scary tools and removed the mass on my foot!!! By the time he was done (and it was only a couple minutes) I was drenched in sweat from head to toe and shaking like a leaf.
He asked me if it really hurt that bad and I told him no not really and then told him That I had just taken myself off pain meds a little over a month ago after using them for over 15 years. He said WOW in that case he thought I did remarkably well and told me that I probably should have told him that in the beginning. I told him that he hadn't given me a chance but that I was glad it had worked out the way it did because now it was over, I didn't have a chance to get myself worked up and that I survived it.
But I am not going to lie, the anxiety I felt was through the roof. But you know what? I survived it and it really wasn't that bad.
Hope this helps and doesn't contribute to your fear. Thinking of you Patty
Thanks all. Patty hope your foot isn't hurting today. Yeah, I figured I would be the same as you, the anxiety would be really out of site. You know if it weren't for the darn anxiety this would sure be a lot easier, right?
Thanks again
I never had a problem with anxiety before these darn pills so I am really hoping that once my brain starts functioning better that I will go back to no anxiety. I really don't like this anxiety stuff. I have named it "The Pricklies". I will be doing fine and then I feel prickly all over.
And my foot is doing awesome. That doc is amazing.
I hear ya Patty, I never had anxiety issues either before the dang pills. Same here, on the prickles, except I have referred those feelings, like pin pricks, all in the same, prickles, pin pricks, I just hate it, very annoying for darn sure.
Your foot. Great, glad is doing so good.
The anxiety really stinks.. be glad when mine eases up. I've always had anxiety, expecially around social situations. . But never this bad.. . Hang in there the both of u! Your doing great..
