NO CRAP......................you ellipser, hehehehehe.............. I'm checking it as fast as I can and I'm slinging em back at you. Hey, is ellipser even a dang word? If not, I just made it one. Where is Lisa at today? That Cowgirl is probably out lassoing some Cowboys, good for her, I hope she has had a great day.
Pam,
I hope you're doing okay today. I've been thinking about you. I haven't been able to keep up on what's going on with you since yesterday. But I know that you are strong and you can do this.
Take care.
Love,
Jodi

Jodi, it is very nice of you to think and ask about me. I'm right here with you girl and yep, it sucks. I have not been feeling like a champ today but I'm trying not to beat myself up over this anymore, thanks to all of you. Last night, on my way back home from Valdosta, my husband and I had a really good talk and he is aware that I am not going to be feeling the greatest for a few weeks while trying to taper and he is supporting me with my decision about Suboxone. He lives with me and he sees how much I truly suffer from debilitating pain and he also realizes that the pain pills just do not make me feel any better. As a matter of fact, they make me really depressed, I swear they make me hurt more, and they make me want to go into a cave and never come out. I'm sure that many can relate to this. It will probably get a little bumpy over here in my house within the next two weeks as my husband has quite a bit of time off this month. See, we are usually in the Carribbean and West Indies this time of year but I refused to travel anymore until after the first of the year. I'm just worn out from being dragged all over the US and then some this year. Anyhow, last night everything was all peachy king and I'm sure some of that was because my husband had not seen me for a week but the new will wear off and I know that he is going to get tired of taking care of me before all of this is over. You know they say, if you marry a carpenter, you never get anything built at your house and the same goes with a doctor, you marry a doctor and you, as their spouse, are the last damn person that they want to take care of and most especially when it comes to w/d, but he has gone out and gotten me some Immodium today and he also went out and bought a ton of groceries and put them away and cooked dinner. Guess I'll hang on to him as long as he will keep me, even if I do come here and complain about him sometimes. He can't be all that bad if he puts up with me. Take Care Jodi, and stay in touch. I'm really sorry that you are caught up in this pill mess too and when your blood pressure was high and we were talking, I didn't realize that you were still on the meds. I'm really sorry for what you are going through but I do know that we can kick this thing and maybe oneday we will learn, not to go back down this road to Hell.
Hey Pam...I was thinking about you as well and hope you got my last email.
I think you are so brave and I'm really in awe of your honesty and forthright...you're doing great girl.
You've got a long road ahead of you again and I'm so afraid of you making the same mistakes, so we need to talk about what you're going to do differently this time...with your illness, there may be a next time where you have to deal with pain meds again. It's all about accountablity.
Hope your weekend is going well....
Take care darlin

There is my Cowgirl, yes mam, I received your last email and it made me LMAO. I had a comment that I wanted to add to the phrase that you used but I didn't have time to get another email out to you. I think that you know how the ending goes and it has something to do with a "post".
Anyhow, I do know that I have a long road ahead of me and I'm ready to take that walk again. The main reason I'm really considering the Suboxone is because of the pain issues that I do have. I'll tell you real quick like that if I don't like it or if it makes me squirrelly then I will dump it and just pray that a new med for fibro will hurry up and come out. But go figure, when and if a new med does come out, they'll probably tell us that it is not habit forming and then after we are all hooked on it, they will go back and re-classify it as habit forming. I've seen that happen so many times.
Well, for now, I'm tapering and I've never tried this before and it is hard. I'm not going to lie about that. Today I've been taking halves of the pills except for my morning dose and I took one and a half at 6am. Gosh, I just wish that I could sleep late, like I did when I was a teenager and when I was in my 20's and had little babies. A bomb could go off back then and I wouldn't even roll over and now, I'm up at the crack of dawn and I have black out drapes and a fan and a noise machine and all of that soothing stuff in my bedroom. If I could sleep later in the morning then my first dose wouldn't come at 6am. This is one of the things that I hate the most because by lunch time it is easy to have taken 3 pills and I just think that is a bit ridiculous. So, today I didn't take 3 pills by lunch time as I layed around and watched tv most of the day. Thank God my husband went out and got the Immodium too, that stuff always helps immensely and I took my first dose about and hour or so ago. Soon it will be beddy time for me. I'm not real big on staying up late, hmmmm, that might be why in the Hell I get up so early..........Duh............ooops, sorry for the ellipse's. LMAO. Guess the teacher is coming out in Gina this month, that is a good thing.
Have a great weekend and lasso a bunch of Cowboys, only good looking and non addicted one's though.

See what this honesty does for you? It helps you talk it through and work it out with those that care. And I do care.
I would talk to Molly (MJ) if I were you...she uses Sub for chronic pain as well and I think has been pretty successful with it. She knows loads..so start a thread to her.
Tapering never worked for me. I always found a reason take more than I was suppose to or would end up taking a whole day's worth in one dose thinking that I wouldn't want them or could get by without them until the next day. Well, we know where that thinking got me. I would still go through the withdrawals and prolong the enivitable. For me, it was easier to just get it over with and flush them. It takes a committment. You have to be ready and you have to want it. That with support is all that got me through that first month.
Hang in there sweetheart. Can you make a meeting maybe next week when you feel a little better?
I'm sending off an email..want to ask you something.

Sorry if I make anyone nuts with my ellipses. It's a way of expressing myself.

the word of the day seems to be ellipses...i never knew what one was till today...boy do i feel like a dummy
Pam,
I know what you mean about wishing you could sleep in. I get up for work at 3 AM...2 AM on Sunday. So by lunchtime, you can imagine how many I've had. It makes me sick. And I go until atleast 9 at night. It feels like I fight a losing battle, day after day. Good luck Pam. I have faith in you.

Am I guessing right here? I am either the most gullible person in the world or just dumb.Sharonn????????????????
What Sharon...what are you confused about?
Never mind...just trying to figure out re:locked thread...don't wanna start any s**t here...I am such a trusting person and my BF says that I am a target ......I always want to think the best of people...sometimes I am naive.Ka-Peesh?
Sharonn, welcome to the Gullible and Agreeable Club...that's what my hubby always says...
ACK!
ACK!
Sharon..I don't see where you've been too trusting. You've always been very loving and supportive of those that need it. That's all you need to worry about.
I hope it wasn't anything that I said...if so, email me.
Lisa
I hope it wasn't anything that I said...if so, email me.
Lisa
Yeah, now I'm paranoid. Hope it was nothing I've said. I'm 100% me...everything I've ever said is the sad sick truth.
Goodnight all.
Goodnight all.
Oh Jodi...it is sad to a point...but you're still you and for that I am grateful.
Talk to you on Monday.

Talk to you on Monday.

Well I have to thank you for believing in me when I don't believe in myself, not yet anyways. I'm trying.
