Dear Karen from Sally, I wish you only the best. How long have you been
adhesion free? You must feel wonderful to not have adhesions. It makes
me cry just thinking about it. I wish I could get off of all drugs and
have before. But the pain was truly overwhelming. I became a basket case
of fetal position, bed ridden incapcitated blob. You get the idea.
And I'm not talking about the time period in which it took me to get
off. That was hard, but between my husband and mother it went fairly
smoothly. We moved up to the cabin on the mountain ridge and when I
couldn't sleep I watched the moon on the ocean and held onto my husband
and scratched him all over. During the day, I spent most of my time with
my mother and taking walks and reading. But after it was all over and I
was clear headed and off pills, (which by the way was great) I felt
really clear, I still had pain, and then more pain and finally my
husband and mother agreed that the pills were better than putting me
through the daily and nightly agony, so I went back on opiates and I
bless their existance.
But I am waiting for the day when the pain will be gone and I can once
again stop all medications. I hope it comes. Love to you and your
family, Sally
