no tramadol 21 days and still feel sick

[cantfly]

i have all the symptoms stated in these threads -headaches, nausia, the runs, sweats, rls, depression, the fuzzies, dry mouth, sneezing, cant sleep and so weak it is hard to function. after 21 days of no tramadol (400mg/d -and i weaned off over a month) why am i so ill??? does this sound normal? and any guesses as to how long to go?
am only now on gabbapentin 600mg/d (was on 2400mg/d some time ago) and panadol osteo at 6-8 x 665mg /d plus stuff like fish oil and glucosomine. wonder if i have a stomach ulcer or something?

there is just so much waiting as i get passed from one specialist to another -they seem to have a lot of hollidays...and can take months to get in even though i have top insurance cover (i now have 3 indipendant orthopedic specialists all waiting to see if the nerves will repair on their own) it is now 16 months post accident and the nuroligists are just becoming involved now -then they will refer me to a foot specialist if surgury is an option.
The worst of everything was the effects of the oxy and tramal -now 30 days clean and starting to feel human again... thanks all for the support T.

Sweetie I'm sorry!  Wds will get better before long. Hang in there and keep fighting.  I have never heard of what you're asking about.  Might ask your doc???  And Congrats on those 21 days. They're hard to get!!!!!!!!

yeah, i have lost the nerves to my foot from the shattered pelvis (i did a top job on it -my pelvis is famous and now going international...lol) -they can somtimes transfer an active tendon and muscle to the nonfunctioning area -in my case to lift my foot. -thanks will try other forum.

Footdrop huh??  I don't know anything about tendon transfers.  Are you sure it is the tendon?  I know this happens with nerve issues too.  Try posting in the back and neck forums they might be able to help or a least have some suggestions.
