Sugah,

Thanks for the reponse. I wouldn't even know where to look not to mention while working two jobs and starting a company, and two kids where I would find the time to make it to a meeting.

I must say I am able to control it once I get to a certain level. Not high, or doped up, nodding out <-- whatever the heck that even means (seen it a couple times on sites that deal with opiate WD). Just minimal pain. My problem seems to be when I am taking too low of a dose to really do anything. Or for that matter not put me in medium withdrawals until my next dose.

Now again, that isn't to say I have never taken an extra one here or there for um, well not exactly the reason it was meant for... but that isn't the norm.

So, here I am day three, other than a very little bit of fatigue and anxiety all of my withdrawal symptoms have subsided. I don't really understand this at all but am VERY gratefull that God has made this so spectacularlly easy for me this time. Now if he could just work some magic on my knees.

I mean it absolutely blows my mind how easy it has been. I wish it was always like this in the past. Has anybody even heard of that? Maybe you go through it so many times you brain get's used to repairing itself?

Unfortunately it is back to excruciating and I am so close to taking some kind of opiate. Not to get high mind you, just to stop hurting so I can work and get to sleep. I have been taking prescription strength Aleve (spelling?) and 4 ibuprofin at a time with no effect, problem is my lower leg bone (too tired to look up the correct word) aches like mad too. Almost like the impact with no cartliage is causing constant concusions to it.

Is it possible for your mind to play tricks on you? Like you feel the pain subconciously so your consious brain will go get some of what it wants???

Will the pain get less once I get maybe one month out. I would have absolutely no problem perservering that long if that is what it took. But I sure as hell don't want to do it for nothing.

Has anybody else gone through a stage where the pain was unbearable and then finally about a month or two out it sudenly got better? Can you tell I am grasping for straws?
