Short check in: third day of my cold turkey detox from Tramadol after 12 years. Gotten about two hours sleep over these three days. Yesterday was bloody awful! The worst. Today is more like the flu. If I get through tonight pretty good (without the feeling of restless leg all over my body coupled with stinging), Ill start the liver cleanse. I made this decision for myself. I want to see if I can manage my pain herbally, with epsom baths, TENS, etc instead of with pain meds. For me I was just finding the pain seemed worse all the time even with the meds, was tired of the chronic constipation, social stigma, poor sleep, expense, etc. Again, if your meds are still working well for you and your liver is holding up, I support you. After all, I was happy with them for ten of the twelve years Ive been on them; just time to see where my body really stands now that Im retired and have the flexibility to see. This decision was very scary to make and this detox has been one of the hardest things Ive ever done, but Im hopeful that it wont be many more days before my body is clear of the pain meds so I can adapt. Please send me a little healing energy. Ive read that, at least for some people after a decade or more of being dependent on the meds to function, that getting off actually lessens the pain level. Hope that turns out true. Who knows. Much love. Marsha (with sweaty hands on fire)
