Good morning frienRAB, my tapering not going so good I guess. I all my frienRAB out there are feeling better this morning, I miss all of you! As I have already told everyone, trying to tapper down to 6 Norco 10/325 per day where I am supposed to be. I had to make the choice for myself to ween OFF of Oxycotin 120 mg per day time release. I would still be taking the Oxycotin because I do live in chronic pain, but the oxy. Made me feel worse. I did try the oxycotin for 6 months, long enough to give it time to work. For me, it made my pain worse woke up every morning barely being able to get out of bed usually between 3:00 am and 4:00 am. It also made me very depressed. I don't feel like my mind and body have healed completely from weening off the oxycotin. Tus morning is sad and lonely. In the morning my pain level is at its worst! Not making excuses for myself, but I feel the weening down to 6 Norco would be easier if I had no pain to deal with on a daily basics. I have had a lot of stress in my life for the past year and a half, which has also made my pain worse. If only I were already at 6 per day! I am so grateful to have found these boarRAB, before I thought I was the only one struggling. I hope all my frienRAB have a peaceful day!

Hello poppit. So sorry to hear today has started off so rough for you. Have you looked into any 'alternative' therapies to help you with your pain? I dont know any,but it was just something I was thinking of for you. I cant imagine how hard it must be to live with chronic pain,and then dealing with all the addiction stuff on top of. Is there a reason why your pain is so great in the morning particularly? Just wondering if it would be possible to take more of the norco in the morning and less in the pm......if that would help. I really wish I had more experience with this so I could offer some blindingly good piece of advice!
Anyways,Im here for you ,my friend, if you need someone to lean on. Im only a post away. I admire your strength in trying to taper in the face of pain...keep going girl!! You're an inspiration.
love as always .........CC
P.S have sent a PM.
 
Hey Crocheting,

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time.. I hate to hear when anyone feels lonely and depressed because i know how bad that sucks.

I know tapering is so hard to do and it takes such self control. On top of the pain you deal with... I don't know how you do it. I am sorry.. THat is all I can say.

I just wanted to check in and say hello and tell you I am thinking of you.. I am sending you a warm healing hug friend.
XOXOOXOXOXOX

Hey CROCH --this is sooooooo mental for us right now. Whatever makes you tick you need to do. Go for a walk, watch a movie, make a schedule that will make you happy that you are doing what you are doing. The WORST thing we can do is sit and think about when the next pill is or how bad we feel or why oh why did we do this. --Come on --we are going to have bad moments and depression is all part of this. I have learned that crying is AWESOME because when I am done I feel better --so let it rip --BAHHHHHAAHHAHAHHAHHHAHHAHAH --:-)

Love ya --hang in there --we can do this

Hey secrets, I would have updated there but it went away. I sure hope your feeling better, your such a kind and compassionate person not one mean bone in your body. You really know how to reach out to others in sadness like yourself, without sounding nasty and a put on that is so refreshing. As for me still hanging in there. I can't help but to remeraber, even when my goal is accomplished I will still be living in chronic pain probably the rest of my life. I think for myself, it is hard to get real excited about finishing my goal because I will still be dealing with the pain. So thank you and CC, for always remerabering that. Always keep in mind WE CAN DO IT! CC sent PM. Crocheting
 
Hey you!!!!

I can't imagine that you would be too excited to get to the finish line knowing that pain is waiting there for you. For that I am sorry!!! It's just plain not fair. I find you inspirational in more ways than you could ever know as I don't know if I could have given the pills up if I was in that kind of pain and I commend you for doing it. That shows strength and self respect!

I am very proud of you! Very proud! I am going to miss you over the weekend. My Mom is taking me on a Mother/Daughter trip for the weekend so I will be off work monday but she is going to bring her lap top and then maybe I can get on at the hotel.. I think every hotel has internet access this day and age right? SO I will check in if I can and as much as I can.

I am starting to feel a little better. It's kind of up and down BUT I feel like the bad depression is lifting a little and I am thankful for that.

I hope you have a great day!
