Waiting for detox

Had my daughter take me to ER yesterday. They gave me a banana bag and sent me home. Said they dont detox. Awaiting for PAR to call me back about a bed. Im already on day two. Feeling a little betters. Tremors are still bad and sweating horrible. Thinking of riding it out one more day see how I feel if they call me for a bed. Could be a week. I have one more day of these tremors. Just an update

Hang in there LP. I hope you can stay strong this time around. Be sure you keep in mind that you are working on yourself though.

LP - The Salvation Army usually provides services for free. Have you tried them?

Another avenue is the local police department, they have resources. You need professional help, I did. Detoxing on your own can be fatal, make sure someone is always around until you get help.

I'm praying for you

No I am alone right now. These tremors can be horrible. I am hoping they will call soon.

I did that the last time. You'd think when I went to the ER yesterday, he would have prescribed me something. I don't do pills so getting hooked on them isnt a worry. I was only taking 1/2 tab daily and it worked well for me.

Have someone pick you up some Gatorade or some other kind of sports drink......it will help you.........also, try a little candy.......these things helped me a lot.

Go back. Ask for another doctor in the ER. They cannot turn you away just because "they don't do detox". You could die. If they don't know that, they shouldn't be open for business. Go to another ER if needed. Ask the detox facility what you should do while waiting for a bed.

Please go to an ER again or call a dr because detoxing can be unpredicable.

Thank goodness! Take the bed if called anyway for the rehab. I am glad you kept posting too. These people are a blessing for all of us.
