Detox

If anyone has ever had an addiction, you know how horrible it is to come off of that addiction. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome and I am in constant pain. I recently decided I needed to get off of the pain pills for a while since I had been on them for so very long. Including oxycontin, lortab, and roxicodone, I have been on them a while.

Let me tell you it was horrible, I have never, ever been through such an experience. I thought I was going to die for 3 days. I couldn't sleep, but I was so tired. I was nauseated and had diarreaha(sp?). I was sweating and just in horrible pain. I never want to go through that again.

It was the worst thing ever, but it is over now and I feel much better. I don't know how long I will be able to stay off of them though. The pain is coming back.
