From my own experience,,Its ussually the other way around,,{meaning} When I taper off pain meds,The pain ussually gets worse for a few day{depends on how high of a dose your on...This is normal,The body is adjusting to the less input of meds and the start up of making or using more endorphins,,,From what im seeing in your post is the opposite,which is REAL GOOD,,sounds like hope and relief,,,this is a very good sign ,,enjoy,,,Id love to see you and others get a remission,,That would be hope for all of us,,,
