Ok day 3 I’m ready for you and I’ve got to go to supermarket that has the chemist but I’m not relapsing. Head is banging and I’ve hardly had any sleep. Kept muscle stretching every 5 minutes! I actually thought I’d feel worse this morning but it is only 7am!
That’s scary! Sounds like it’s all normal now. I had some liver blood tests done recently and it was all fine and I was like really? But I’m so over worrying about my health for something I can stop. Like I’m not getting any younger but I want to worry about the normal getting old stuff not the stuff I can prevent. So over it now! And I’m over the chemist shame….anyone else used to drive to different chemists?! Still feeling horrendous….just counting the minutes until the end of the day!
Thank you….it’s very hard to maintain a normal routine when feeling like this! Kids want to go to the park and all I can do is sit on the sofa! But I’m just going to push through. Fresh air might help. Stomach is in full yellow water mode (sorry!)….last time I tried to give up I had what can only be described as a small meltdown and cried the whole day! I never normally cry….so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen today. I’m sweating..dizzy and have a horrendous headache….feel sick and just want to lie in bed. I haven’t told my husband because he thought I quite a few months ago and I don’t want to upset him. He even took a few days off work and it was a big deal as he’s self employed. So to get back on it I can’t let him know. The shame is real! Off to the park….let’s hope I don’t have to dive behind a bush! Sorry! Humour needed today!
Hi all I’ve been following this group for a while. I’m a mum of 3 boys and was a lawyer but now I’m a stay at home mum. I’ve battled codeine of some kind since 2007! I was prescribed it for migraine and have battled it since. I got free of it in around 2013 for a few years and the most successful few years. I then convinced myself I ‘needed’ it for migraine…FFS! And have tried so many times to get free. I can just about manage the physical withdrawal but then a few weeks later I tell myself I need it and I’ll just take one! I’m on 12mg of codeine x 32 a day. God knows what’s happening to my kidneys etc. recently my husband mentioned how we were £300 down a month and couldn’t see where it was going and then I realised it was me and this thing! If I was brutally honest although I do a good job at home I’m a shell really. I lack energy and I just try to get the through the day. I’ve realised how much this is effecting everyone not just me. Anyway I quit 2 days ago and I’m ok the worst day I would say. Although probably tomorrow will be the worst day. But I keep thinking how free I will be! No more dragging everyone out to go to Asda when I really want to go to the chemist that’s in Asda! I hate the looks the staff give me. Anyway I’m determined to beat this! I wish this medicine was not available I’m amazed at how many people have a problem with it.
