0.000 HBDTaking 2 years to come of opoids, down to 1 tablet from 8.
Around years ago I was prescribed Codeine to help with my pain, for around 4 years I was taking 8 x 30mg a day. <center>https://s20.postimg.org/z89u87kkd/20180108_201020.jpg</center> 2 years ago I was referred to a Rheumatologist as I was having a lot of pain all over my body. I got my appointment for June , this is where I found out I had Fibromylagia, the specialist went though everything I was taking, he also did a body check where he pressed on points on my body to see how bad the pain was, I also had blood tests. He diagnosed me with Fibro and gave me a plan where he wanted me to come off the Codeine but would need to be wean off slowly, he gave me 2 years to be totally Codeine free. <center>https://s20.postimg.org/43v2qzv4t/20180108_202357.jpg</center> Today I am now down to 1 a day, I take that one at bedtime. I will be Codeine free in a couple of months. I am not sure how I feel since coming off them. In place of them I have been given Duloxetine. These help with Depression and Fibromylagia, I take 2 x 30mg daily, these are being upped to 3 a day. <center>https://s20.postimg.org/dcx911bpp/20180108_202925.jpg</center> I am hoping to see a difference in my pain with changing these tablets, I am hoping it might help with the fogginess, the brain fog gets so bad I get myself in a right muddle. I know one thing I won't miss is that horrible taste that makes you want to throw up, the taste that lingers through the day even after brushing your teeth. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmWRKbsUvvBwevVP9iKVZpze8sAmySjMWGuLdj6EVi7Cte/%40karenb54.gif Thank you @son-of-satire https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s26.postimg.org/jkaxf7eex/karen.jpg Thank you @artedellavita
