I have had it with painkillers! I cannot keep going like this. I am constanstly in pain from my accident and from my fibro. I started noticing that I was taking more and more hydro. My body was getting used to it. It is time to stop... I know there are other ways to treat my pain. My last one is yesterday. It is driving me crazy. I don't want to keep going through this anymore. Does anyone understand. I am sick of running out and then feeling like crap or freaking out. I am sick of it. But my skin is crawling. I hate this feeling. I feel bad for my children, I keep snapping at them then I cry like a baby. They don't deserve this. Especially my oldest, I just started homeschooling this year. He is doing his work right now, but he is wondering why I am such a mess. PLease tell me I can do this...... On top of it I am going through menopause!!! I am 27 just had a hysterectomy and my hormones are wild. I am trying to take this estroven but it doesn't seem to be working.... any ideas??? or thoughts I am desperrate. Desperate for a better life
Cbjward, I understand completely what you are going through. Just take it easy for a few days. Tell your kids you are sick, not feeling well and give them and yourself a break. It's more important that you get over the withdrawal then their few days of work. If it sounds good to you, just get a good book, a cup of tea and read to your kids. That's one of the best things you can do for them is read to them. Take immodium, it really helps. Take as much as you need to take the edge off. Take a good multi-vitamin, drink lots of water. If you can, take your kids for a long walk, or go by yourself if you can. That'll help with the crawly feeling, and maybe sweat some of the poison out of your body. If you need anything, PM me.
You can do it!!! I COMPLETELY understand what you are going through, as I got through it myself at least twice a month, wondering why I do this to myself, just wanting to rip my skin off. But you can get past it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Yes I know what you are going through its like a revolving door you don't want to go through every month..I keep thinking I will learn to stretch out the meds to last a month . But it just doesn't work when you have soo much pain to deal with!..Good luck, your young and I hope alternative therapies will work for you ... take care, Al
My heart goes out to you. I wish I could be there to help you. I've been through it many times and would not wish it upon anyone, although I believe most of us have been through it at least once. You can do it too. It will pass. Hang in there. My sister went through it a few weeks ago, and has 3 small children. She called be about 15 times a day for 2 days. I told her just keep calling me and we will talk about anything. So just keep posting and keep your mind off of it if you can. Best of luck to you.
cb...are you taking the over the counter Estroven or prescription ERT? I take the Estroven and it does work (for me at least). You have to take it for a while, a few weeks at least.
I too have Fibro 7 years and know the feelings that you are having, Hang in there think about your children, say a little payer when the feelings overwhelm you they will soon pass. Try to drink as much water as you can definetly take the Imodium, and eat something hot what I call comfort food if only a few bites at a time, and take a little walk if you can Just keep thinking just a few more days a minute a hour at a time what ever you need and you will make it and be feeling better soon! Definetly keep posting It will help and my heart and prayers go out to you.
cbj, Hi, Your heart and head are in the right place. I know how you feel and you are young. Your children have your whole clean life with you and if this takes a little yukky while it will be worth it! All they want is their MOMMY. Don't lose sight of that. I cannot stand that I have to be on medication for my pain as I know it takes away from who I am. Can you take baths?? And many of them? I have heard epsom salt and baking soda or where I live you can go outside every 10 minutes and probably be done with w/d in 12 hours. j/k Sweating helps. Once you are past this time you will look back and go gosh I am glad I made it. You will. Don't beat yourself up on top of the physical beating you are getting from w/d. There is no point. Look at your goal and focus on your goal. Sorry if I sound like I am preaching. I hope so much some day someone will find a fix for me to be able to skip all of this and be me again. Like you get to be. You can do it! NeNe

Wow Cb, I am sorry tho hear this. A hysterectomy at 27. I really feel for you girl!!!!!!
A few suggestions I would like to make would be to take some tylenol and also Immodium works well too for Withdrawals and either take a hot bath or go take a nap. You are going to feel your worse for the first 2-3 days but it does get better.
Let me know if you need anything else. Feel free to PM me too if you need someone to talk to.
Ugghhh. I am hanging in there. Almost 24 hrs in the bag. Thanks everyone for everything. You all are great. acertaingirl, I have been taking it for 3 mos. now faithfully. And it's over the counter. I am going to my Doc. and tell him I need a Prescription. As far as right now, yes this is best for my children. But more so for myself. This sucks what I feel now, but this is going to be such a small period in my life. I just realized the other night I was taking more than prescribed and still hurting. I was becoming to dependent. I don't like that at all. I have been through so much in my life trying to fight my pain and conditions. I have met some of the worse Doctors in my life! I have been belittled, I can't take it anymore. My life was supposed to be different! 4yrs ago my husband and son watched me in so much pain. I always refused pain meds. Finally I thought anything could be better than this. So started taking them. I was able to get out of bed, go to the store, finish things that I started. It was great. But now like I said it's not working anymore. There is something else I can do. I don't want to hurt my body anymore.
