Reggie29 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 So far, I am happy to report I'm in good health. This afternoon I am having my six monthly check up plus a grease and oil change. Hopefully nothing will have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Bonnie~ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Bonnie, this happens to 2 of my children too; and used to happen to my husband. It happens more often when the air is really dry. Their doctor says it's benign though. At least it's not painful. It's more annoying than anything. You'll just be sitting there, and all of a sudden, drip. Usually when you're wearing something nice, too! Or you wake up in the morning, and your face is crusted to your pillow. I don't get them as often as a grownup, though, so hopefully your kids will outgrow it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bonnie~ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ah no suggestions? Because nobody knows or nobody cares?? what kind of withdrawals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bonnie~ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Narcotics. Pain killers. Percocet Methadone, Subutex or Suboxone. Good luck, friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNK Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Narcotics Anonymous. Wow. That's a really helpful solution for someone about to have narcotic withdrawals. How convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 if you've been taking a drug long enough to have physical withdraw, it's not wise to suddenly stop. you should either check into a rehab and be monitored . or alternatively you can taper yourself off of it. gradually decrease the dose over a period of a couple weeks. ask your doctor first about that option before trying it.

DRUNK Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Narcotic withdrawal isn't life threatening. There also a lot of psychological factors in withdrawal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bonnie~ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Narcotic withdrawal isn't life threatening. There also a lot of psychological factors in withdrawal. No, but it can make you very very sick for weeks if you try to do it cold turkey. Depression, vomiting, diarrhea, shakes, and sweats are among some of the possible things you can experience. Sounds lovely, doesn't it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Narcotic withdrawal isn't life threatening. People have died from narcotic withdrawal, especially when they're already in poor health and heavy users. Any time someone like that suddenly goes cold turkey, their body can't handle it. It's not as life-threatening as alcohol withdrawal, but you can die from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've been seeing a chiropractor since the early 90's as the work I used to do (laborer) wore out some of my vertebrae. I recently had a parotid tumor removed from my left jaw and also had two hernia's repaired with the 'patch'. I had a bad episode of 'atrial fibrillation' last November but that's under control now. Since I quit coffee I feel so much better, am less tense and sleep so good now I can't believe it. I'm glad I'm off the caffeine. I'll be 58 next month and my blood pressure and cholesterol are fine at this point. I could stand to lose some weight but that seems to be a 'losing battle' anymore. Looking forward to turning 100.

lillian Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have exruciating lower back pain, to the point of not being able to do anything, bending, carrying anything that might too heavy, I can't walk. Worst part I can't tolerate narcotics, so I am only taking a muscle relexant which minimizes the pain. It really sucks getting old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe health is a gift a precious one, to be looked after. And that's just peachy for you, I however, I'm a single mother of two kids, work 40+ hours a week, and live in a country where everything is very expensive, especially gasoline, so I make enough money to pay for my vehicle and take care of my kids. For the post part I have always been healthy except for this back pain, stemming from an injury 25 years ago that is now just manifesting itself. I too believe health is a precious gift, especially since I am the only family my children have, if something were to happen to me, there wouldn't be anyone to take care of them.
