You have gone through so much, Bridget, don't let this last hurdle get you down.
As Molly said - this will pass.
Sending you a BIG hug.

Hey Megan;
yes I have Paypal, under barngoddess84@yahoo.com
I've been helped by the injections my new *awesome* doc has been doing (I feel like hell for a day or two after the injections, but I'm recovering faster each time, and now my legs are working MUCH better) and I have a ton (like, the 8-inch-tall 3-inch-diameter pill bottle that doesn't fit in my purse lol) of muscle relaxants (Methocarbamol) which really help. I do miss having the percs for things like . . . washing the dishes, and after a gardening stint . . . ohhhhhh. I beat myself up SO BAD gardening but I can't resist, I'm a plant addict! I got gladioli, peas, carrots and maximillian sunflowers in. I've got a ton more energy now, and I feel like I have to make up for my wasted winter, y'know?
How are YOU doing? haven't heard much from you. *hug*
my hands are still shaking today . . . I'm trying patience! wonder if booze would help. ?
*hugs* thanks guys!

The tremors DO settle down, Bridget - I know because I'm past that stage. The restless leg syndrome and insomnia lasted the longest. But I was tapering my percocet down over a period of time which makes a hell of a difference. Most of my detox symptoms were coming off fentanyl which you can't taper very well (the lowest level of patch is 12 mg)

Hello Bridget
You sound totally overwhelmed by everything at the moment and I'm not surprised with the amount of pain you are in, the withdrawal - and on top of that worrying about household chores, your garden, bringing in extra money with the beading and looking after your baby and husband. (I know looking after your baby is a pleasure to you and I'm sure your husband helps you loads - BUT it is a hell of a lot to deal with day in day out at this time).
I'm sure you can see, when you list it all out, why you are feeling so panicy.
Go easy on yourself, sweetie, you should only be doing the bare mininum at the moment to help you get through this withdrawal thing at least.
Forget the house, the gardnen, the beads and anything else that can wait for a few days.
Rest up and cuddle that lovely baby of yours (I know you can't pick her up at the moment).
Remember: you are an amazing Mummy, you are a lovely wife, you soldier on against all odds - you are a wonderful, beautiful, special person and you do not have to be superwoman all the time. Take a little break and be kind to yourself honey.
Lots of love,
Tink xxx
