I have stretched my pills to last until my vacation. My mother In law is a doctor in Canada so if anything gets too bad she will be there for me. I think I'll jump Friday. I've been down to one pill for almost two weeks. I'm not even scared to jump. Just looking to get better. Aftercare is happening the day I fly back. I'm pretty determined and a strong person. Thanks for the support. I did this once 4 years ago and was very successful but I have a nerve problem and got put back on them. The pain without them is absolutely extrutiating, I might end up having Surgey. Whatever helps. I'm on muscle relaxers right now

A little bit. I'm thinking about stopping it tho. I need surgery on my hip as I have a horrible pinched nerve with no success with other things such as manipulation. I see the doctor the 14th to talk about what next. I do not care at this point how much pain I am in. I will not continue to take these medications.

Are you taking the muscle relaxers as prescribed?  Be very careful with them.

You will do great!! Getting down to one pill a day is awesome. How about trying a 1/2 a pill till Friday?  Good luck. Have an awesome time on vacation. Enjoy yourself. And don't forget the Epson salt for those baths. Otherwise, you will do great.

Thank you kindly. Believe it or not I know it will be hell but I'll be with my husband and mother in law who are both doctors and am actually excited to get it done with. I have chosen not to take any meds besides vitamins through this process.
