not a drug addict

I started having siactic nerve pain and have no health insurance. I started taking other family members pills for pain which did not help at all, my dad took oxy for his pain and I thought that I would try it for mine. I have only been on it for only two month's . I stoped cold turkey 5 day's ago. What I was wondering was when does the withdraws stop? The night sweats? The Chill's? I am really misserable and uncomfortable. I have thrown those devil pill's away. Please give me some advice on how to handle this, thank you in advance.

I am 9 day's off from the devil's pill oxy and have to say the withdraw symptom's I think have come to an end. Last night I did'nt have the chills when I went to bed for the first time since stopping. Thank God because I was roasting my family in the humidity and heat lol. I suffer with pain but would rather be in pain then on oxy and walk around like zombie. I am so glad I found this foprum and getting as lot of advice and help from friends I have not met personaly but now have place in my heart. Thank you. =)Waterlilly7 > I am going to buy that book and give it a try because at this point I am ready for anything that could help me live pain free. Thank you.Weaverm17 I would like to say thank you for being the first person to answer my plea for help at a very desperate time, I was so scared not knowing what to expect. God bless all who take the time to reply to me and pray you too and those who have to live in pain on a daily basis find healing.

yes, i do hae somthing that will halp the sciatic pain, and i promise it will, but you have to have an open mind ,and take the risk, the risk is: about ten bucks. yup, ten bucks.
read this book: "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. it also covers sciatica, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, which is the one I suffered from big time, read the book, took the advise and I was healed in two weeks, and everyone who has read the book, about 1/3 of the people I pushed it on, has also been cured. and I say CURED. You have to get past the idea that a book cannot help you, because it can, it will if you follow the advise. I was hrrible with back pain and numbness in extremities, pain was terrible, and the book's advise healed me.

as far as the WD, hang in there, it gets better and better until one day you are like, woh, i havnt felt this good in years!

You can do it, and keep posting please,
hugs,
Lily

What day of detox are you on? Can you get a massage or go to a chiropractor for some relief? Also stretches help me when my back hurts. Have you tried advil at a rx dose (800 mgs) every 6 hours? Hang in there and position yourself in a way that hurts you least. Congrats on your clean time.

Feeling  lot's better if I could just get rid of the chill's when it is not even cold out or in room. Stomach kind of upset but I can handle it,.My pain in my leg from the siatic nerve is returning which made it hard to sleep last night. I cried like a baby,sorry but it hurts. I think my withdraw syptoms are starting to calm down now thank god for that because with out him none of this would be possible for me to get through. I wish everyone well here on this day and pray for strength for those in need. Have a great Monday.
