DAY 5 off oxy....YIPEE!!!

[FibroMissa]

Hey all :) just wanted to check in and say hello.  It's day 5 today and I'm feeling not to bad at all.  My lower back is bothering me but ibuprofen is handling it.  It's weird my wrists and ankles aren't bothering me at all and before I went off they were awful....and usually when we have a cold snap like we are now I'd be in more pain.  It has to be me coming off those things combined with the vitamins and supplements and stuff I"m putting in my body now.  My mom is going to go home today and I have told her how much I appreciate everything she's done.  She says I look different each morning and don't look like I"m ready to leap down someone's throat.  I see my doctor Thursday and have already begun to wean down on the xanax and I see my therapist on monday...can't wait lol..

hope you are all having a good day so far!
Peace

I'm on day 4 and I'm doing it cold turk! I started by tapering and did that for 8 days and went cold after the 8th. Things that help me are hot, hot baths, eating healthy, vitamin D as well as others, multis and such....last but NOT least, good friends to keep me occupied and to help stay on a positive mind set.  

Keep it up!!!!!!!!! I'm with you on this one!
The worst is behind us and everyday after is a dream come true!

Love G xo

Your now near the end of the worst part...My nose ran and eyes watery for 7 days..Have you sneezed alot like 10 times in a row?  I'm clean for 22 days  but still sneeze sometimes.  Glad your doing better..When you tuck your 9 yr old in tonite.
Remember how lucky you are to have her..Not sure if I told you one of the main reasons I quit..My oldest daughter is getting married in April, And I thought how could I walk her down the aisle high as a kite on Oxycodene or having enough to do so..Weird huh?  Glad your day is going better..every day gets better and better

Keep going!

lol Radiostar...yup you did make me laugh :)

As the day has gone on I feel a bit better, don't feel like crying at the drop of a hat.  Had a decent dinner and I think it actually perked me up.  Still feel a weird sinus pressure though like a cold is coming and even the hot/cold spells have let up.

hope you are all having a good day
peace

Congrads on day 5..You are going to have some ups an downs over the next few days.  Around day 7 for me is when the mental demons started calling out to me.  Don't listen to them..Keep yourself busy maybe let your 9 year old "Have a stay home from school day with Mom"  Build a snowman make cookies watch a movie together?  As far as your estranged Husband goes Imgaine in your mind him "Grocery shopping NAKED in the store your usually shop at...Made you laugh didn't it?   Keep going and keep posting  we are all pulling for you...22 days for me and feeling stronger mentally and physicaly everyday

thanks everyone.  Well my mom has gone now and I started to cry as soon as she left.  I'm so emotional today.  My husband and I are separated and he hasn't been around much at all in the last few months and now has gone to Texas for 2 weeks (or longer).  
I had pretty much had told myself all those months that I didn't care and used to pills to hide my sadness and hurt at the end of my marriage but now I feel like my heart is breaking all over again.  I don't like feeling so sad but I keep trying to tell myself it will pass.

thanks

Great work on day 5!  Keep it up cause it gets better everyday now.  The light at the end of the tunnel is brighter than you thought isn't it?  It was for me, day 18 and miles from where I was with those pills!  Imagine how you'll feel in three more days then 5 days, keep motivating yourself and when you hit a bump realize it will pass and stay strong!

So glad to know that you've reached the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm feeling awful right now but am hanging in there. God it will be great to really live again.

My wrists and ankles used to bother me a lot especially in cold weather.The otc pain meds seem to be doing a good job and I do not need opiates anymore.I am over 120 days clean and have had less pain than when I took opiates.I hope it is the same for you and congrats on 5 days.Great work and things will even get better.
I am also keeping up with the omegas and vitamins and feeling very good with no cravings at all.
The best thing is that I do not wake up with rebound head and shoulder aches.
