I couldn't of done this without you and Lu,both of you helped me so much. Thank you so much ,I will keep posting You are ,God sent!
I have MS and Lupus so I did a detox slow .I went down 2 every other week then at want I thought was 10 going to 9 I was at 6 so I went down to 1 every other week I have had no withdrawal ,I sleep better when I got to about 40 from 168.for 14 years,I slept an hour ,wake up hour wake up ,when at a high dose ,I tuned out the idiots saying I would get sick .I started being able to sleep 6 hours straight,when I got lower and pain I had is gone.I was scared ,but I haven't had any withdrawal. But, I never used other drugs,,I never miss took my methadone My biggest problem was I never missed a day taking it but I got to 1 with 14 days take home and in 2 weeks only took 3 bottles the next mon I could have went back but I know meds and yes it has a longer half-life than heroin or morphine,but if you go slow at the end ,let your body adjust you'll be fine,read my post I was scared to death,I am fine I didnt go back for more. I was on this a long time I do agree it's a bit of a body and life adjustment.I just meditate ,do yoga and stay am trying to get the last 14 years back .I am a sick person and I did this.The people on here helped ,I have some past memories cropping up in my head a lot sort of like things that you haven't felt in a long time comes back ,I try to think of the good like sex! Sorry but everything including that shut down .I know lots of things that can help that are natural CalMax the main thing ,it,s only calcium and Magnesium but it helps you sleep.Don't fall into the you will get so sick crap, don't use and don't jump off ,do it right and you.ll make it.
Oh my gosh Nonnie I am so happy for you!! This is awesome. You did it!!!
You sound sooooo much better too. You can tell your thoughts are so much clearer too. You sound great. I'm happy things are getting better. Your house is getting fixed. Your getting out and about. And getting the help you have needed. The future is only up from here.
As for the weight loss. That is good. Your health will hopefully straighten out now in the next months. Just keep trying to get some exercise as you loss the rest of the weight if you need too. The skin. Not sure. I don't know much about that. Your husband is a doctor. Does he say anything if it will Spring back or not?
Keep posting here so we can hear how good things are. I'm glad your husband is trying. Get that new bed. Go on dates or just eat dinners together and talk. It will come back. The last years have been bad but it is both ways too. He covered up his pain and concern and anger with work and shutting down. Now is a time to new.
Great job!!!
