That was the first thing my family noticed was my old self coming back, even though I didnt notice because of the pain at first.

She has to realize that her brain has grown accustomed to a high amount of pain meds. That means the natural pain receptors have atrophied, and in there place receptors that accept pain meds have grown.

Meaning that her brain now has to replace those receptors with new ones that accept her natural endorphins, and the new meds taking the place of the oxy. It is a very uncomfortable time, but really she should try to make the best of a bad situation. As I said earlier, there is no pain med I know of or tried that works to take the pain away. If you ask her if the oxy's really took away the pain, I am sure she would say no because of what she is trying to have done now.

Her body is in a transition, and there really is nothing that she can do about it. It is inevitable that she was going to face this time in wd's, far better it be in the hospital under doctor care, and getting some meds to help with the wd pain.

She could have had what happened to me happen to her. Just run out of meds, and not be able to get anymore. Then face the wd's alone, and under no doctor care.

It was 6 loooong days with no sleep, and loads of pain. Restless legs were driving me out of my mind. First hot and dripping wet with sweat, then freezing, back and forth like this for days! I even was crying out to Jesus the first 2 nights ready to go. It was very intense, and I was scared I was gonna die. It was a full month before I even began to feel a teeny bit normal. It has been a little over 2 months now, and the restless legs quit I would say 3 weeks ago, and the headache 2 weeks ago. Still the body pain is atrocious! But I expected that as the pain was pretty bad even with the pain pills.

So believe me, she is in the very best place. Dont let her ruin it. If they decide to stop and send her home, she may wind up being labeled a drug chaser. If that happens she will find herself in my shoes. Please tell her to make the best of that situation, cause under the circumstances she is in a very good position. Truly!

Keeping you in my prayers
