So Much Pain...
Today I was in bed all day with pain. I was going to go to work, but I slept really bad last night. I was up every hour almost exactly on the hour. I don't know why. I don't know how much more of this I can tolerate. I slept in until 2 and then made myself stop sleeping and read instead. I've been on the heating pad, taking Vicodin and trying to distract myself all day. I'm crying in pain it's so bad. I can't even really eat.. I've only eaten 600 calories today. I can't think I'm in so much pain. I don't know what's causing it. I hope it's not the taper. I will know when I take my next step down. I've spent the day reading... that's what I do when I want to get away. I take myself to another world. I'm reading “The Talisman” by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It's a really good book and it manages to keep me from going insane. I can't stay on the computer long because it hurts to sit and I need to get my mind off of the pain. I can't even think of anything more to say, so I'm just going to keep this short. Sorry if I don't comment on journals or stuff when I'm like this, it hurts too much to spend a lot of time on the computer.

oh hun, this is horrible. you really need to get this checked out, it is unbearable for you. i think you are waking up because of the pain, vicodin does only so much. when can you find out about the taper? if its not that, please go to another doctor and try and get to the bottom of this. many hugssss
Does a soak in the tub give any relief? Have you googled your meds as to the reactions to tapering to perhaps give a clue?
I am sending soothing vibes your way!
I truly think you are detoxing too many things at once too fast. There is a reason you\'re not supposed to that by yourself. No sleep, no good nutrition, all that pain, please at least call the doctor. Glad you like reading. It\'s my fave thing to do.
