My wife is convinced that this withdrawal problem is false- that I wasn't on the painkillers long enough to have any sort of dependency. She's very smart, so maybe she's right.
But, I've never had a problem sleeping- though I have a lot on my mind right now. And certainly not two nights in a row. I'm also fighting nausea, which is unusual.
In any case, I'm not going to take the painkillers any more. I don't have pain per-se. I have some serious discomfort- and maybe jabs of pain here and there. But I've been out of commission for almost two months. My muscles are out of shape, and even sitting upright is relatively new.
Today has been rough on the nausea side. I eat ginger, which helps, but it's not like I'm going to blow chunks. It's just a general malise- feeling poorly and a lack of hunger.
I did get a nap this afternoon- without medication- so I think I'm getting past that. Doc visit is in two days. I'm so hopeful.
