OMG THE PAIN JUST ABOUT KILLED... THIS TIME IT WAS NOT IN MY BACK..

WHAT HAPPEN WAS THAT THIS MORNING I WOKE UP ABOUT 5AM IN SO MUCH PAIN I
COULD HARDLY WALK TO THE BATHROOM.. THE PAIN WAS ON THE HIGHER PART OF
MY TUMMY.. I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS GOING TO THROW UP OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT.. IT JUST HURT LIKE CRAZY..

MOST OF THE TIME I AM TAKING MY PAIN MEDS AT 5AM BUT BECAUSE MY BACK
WAS NOT HURTING I DIDN'T TAKE ANY...

BY 6AM I WAS DIEING.. EVEN MY PAJAMAS HURT ME TO TOUCH MY STOMACH..
FINALLY ABOUT 8AM I TOOK SOMETHING FOR MY BACK.. BY THIS TIME MY BACK
WAS HURTING...

AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO, MY TUMMY STOP HURTING..

YOU KNOW, I HAVE THIS FEELING THAT MY BODY IS WANTING THIS PAIN MEDS
NOW.. AFTER 3 YEARS OF TAKING THEM, MY BODY IS NOW ADDICTED.. THIS IS
SOMETHING I DID NOT WANT.. AND NO I WAS NOT TAKING THEM EVERYDAY
BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I WAS AFFRAID OF.. ADDICTION.. THIS IS JUST
GREAT.. :9

RIGHT NOW IF I PRESS JUST A LITTLE BIT ON MY TUMMY, IT HURTS BUT NOT
LIKE WHAT IT WAS..

CAN I GET ADDICTED TO THIS METHADONE IF I ONLY TAKE ONE 10MG A DAY?
PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME NO... I AM SO AFFRAID.. I AM JUST TO OLD TO BE
GOING THROUGH THIS STUFF.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.. I'VE BEEN DOWN THIS
ROAD BEFORE AND I CAME 3 MINUTES FROM DIEING...

WHAT DO I DO...

HUGS, ANDREA

YOU ARE NOT ADDICTED BUT YOUR BODY
HAD BECOME DEPENDENT ON THE METHADONE FOR PAIN RELIEF. I TAKE
10MG EVERY 8 HOURS AND I HAVE TRIED TO
GO LONGER BUT I END UP WITH THE PAIN IN MY STOMACH LIKE WHAT YOU HAD. TAKE
THE PILL. IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU TO EASE THE PAIN.

(((((((ANDREA)))))) JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE
TO DO AND DONT WORRY ABOUT ADDICTION.

HI ANDREA
THERE COULD BE MANY MANY REASONS WHY YOUR ABDOMEN IS HURTING. I THINK
THE RISK OF DEPENDENCY IS MINIMAL IN YOUR CASE, AND MUCH MORE LIKELY
THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG. I HAD SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WHEN I HAD
GALLBLADDER ATTACKS. IT HURT RIGHT BELOW MY STERNUM SO BADLY, I WOULD
BE CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR OR IN BED IN THE FETAL POSITION FOR HOURS.
SOME WERE SO SEVERE, I REPEATEDLY WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. IT TOOK
SOME TIME FOR A DIAGNOSIS, BUT ONCE I WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY, I HAD MY
GALLBLADDER REMOVED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES THAT
ABDOMINAL PAIN CAN SIGNIFY. THERE ARE MANY OTHER POSSIBILITIES HERE!
DO NOT PANIC. CALL YOUR DOCTOR IF THE SYMPTOMS PERSIST, OR IF THEY ARE
VERY SEVERE, DO NOT HESITATE TO GO TO YOUR EMERGENCY ROOM. I THINK YOU
MAY BE OVER REACTING TO YOUR OWN FEARS IN ASSUMING IT IS YOUR BODY
DEMANDING MEDICATION. IT SEEMS MUCH MORE REASONABLE THAT YOU HAVE REAL
PAIN IN YOUR ABDOMEN, AND YOUR MEDICATION EASED REAL PAIN.
I DID GO THROUGH METHADONE WITHDRAWALS A FEW YEARS AGO.I WAS TAKING A
MUCH HIGHER DOSE THAN YOU ARE CURRENTLY, AT 60MG PER DAY. I DID NOT
SUFFER NEW PAIN DURING WITHDRAWL, NOR DID I SUFFER IMAGINED PAIN
BEFORE I WAS REMOVED FROM THE DRUG. I WOULD BELIEVE THAT IF MY BODY
WAS GOING TO FABRICATE SOMETHING NEW IN RESPONSE TO A PHYSICAL
CRAVING, IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN I NO LONGER HAD THE MEDICATION,
IF EVER. 10MG OF METHADONE A DAY ISNT EVEN AS MUCH PAIN RELIEF AS A
HAND FULL OF IBUPROPHEN TAKEN OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY CAN GIVE
MANY, BUT SURE IS ALOT SAFER TO THE BODY IN GENERAL THAN OVER THE
COUNTER PAIN MEDICATIONS. ANYWAY, GOOD LUCK, KEEP US INFORMED AS TO
HOW YOU'RE DOING. AND AGAIN, SEE YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS AT
ALL, AND GO TO YOUR ER IF THE PAIN PERSISTS. SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THIS
PAIN MAY BE SIGNIFYING CAN BE LIFE THREATENING IF LEFT UNTREATED, AND
SOME ARE COMPLETELY BENIGN. ONLY YOUR DOCTOR CAN DIAGNOSE THIS.

I KNOW 10MG OF METHADONE IS NOTHING BUT A HANDFULL OF IBUPROPHENS..
THATS WHY I SUFFER THE REST OF THE DAY.. EVEN THOU I TAKE 4 TO 6
HYDRO'S 10MG A DAY TO HELP ME JUST A LITTLE BIT.. I'M SUPPOSE TO TAKE
80MGS OF METHADONE A DAY BUT I CAN'T ANYMORE.. I RECENTLY STARTED
THROWING UP WHEN I DID.. SO I HAVE BEEN KEEPING IT AT ONLY TAKING ONE..
SO I SUFFER LIKE A DOG THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT AND SHOT..

MY PAIN IS WHERE MY GALLBLADDER IS TO.. AND I WAS CURLED UP FOR HOURS
YESTERDAY.. THE PAIN IS STILL THERE BUT NOT AS BAD TODAY BUT IT STILL
HURTS..

I HAVE HAD INTERNAL BLEEDING BEFORE.. IT WAS WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD..
I ALMOST DIED.. I WAS HIT BY A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE STOMACH.. I
REMEMBER BEING AWAKE ALL NIGHT MOANING AND CRYING AND WAS IN THE FETAL
POSISSION.. THE NEXT DAY I WAS THROWING UP BLOOD.. THAT MORNING I WAS
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND BY NIGHT FALL, I WAS HAVING SURGERY.. I WILL
NEVER FORGET THAT HURTING FEELING..

Dear Andrea,

I don't want to keep pushing the same info on you time after time, but have
you looked in to RSD or been looked at by someone familiar with it? The
thing that really gets me is this "burning feeling" and your skin being so
sensitive to the touch clothes are painful to wear.
The only way to get this disease is early, so stop playing doctor with us
and see a real deal doc that can run tests and help you. The most well
wishing of all of us is no comparison to 60 mg of morphine when you hurt.
Seek out a doctor this week and get in as soon as you can.

If you need help ask--og

I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG. FORGET ABOUT
ADDICTION VS DEPENDENCE...PAIN IS A SIGN THAT SOMETHING S WRONG WITH
YOUR BODY.
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT YOU WOULD GO INTO WITHDRAWALS SO SUDDENLY-JUST
AFTER MISSING ONE DOSE. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS CAUSING YOUR CHRONIC PAIN. YOU SHOULD SEE A
DOCTOR, FOR A FULL CHECKUP, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE-IT'S OK TO GO TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM, IF THE PAIN BECOMES UNBEARABLE AGAIN...BUT MAKE SURE
YOU FOLLOW IT UP!

Dear Andrea,

Take a peek at this web site:
www.rsdhope.org

You can take a look at the symptoms and various stages of the disease and
see how many match up with you. It will also tell you that a lot of Docs say
RSD is a load of bull. I know a whole lot of people that can prove them
wrong, so you need a doc that knows about it. I would think a decent
neurologist would have you covered. The web site can probably help find a
doc too.

Keep in touch--og
