15 days clean so far with a lot of tempation, I am finding my body transform itself it little ways and wanted to ask others who had (or have) addictions to pain pills what types of bodily changes they noticed, and how they, if at all compared to mine.
The one big thing I noticed was the lack of bm, and sometimes they would be pale (indicative of lack of bilirubin). I think that the lack in BM is almost universal to all codeine addicts. I also noticed edema in my lower legs and ankles. This in particular scared the crap out of me because it is indicative of liver toxicity as well. I wonder if any of you experienced the same. Now that I am off of the pills, I do not have this anymore (well, only a little, which can be attributed to lifestyle and being slightly overweight as I am).
I also noticed acne. I had moderate acne that no amount of skin regiment would clear up.
I was irritable, tired, exhausted, depressed, and angry.
I'd like to compare notes, so to speak, with others, if you'd like to share.
Thanks so much, this really would mean a lot to me.
Mimi
