Narcotics! Wheeeee!

I would be so happy if I never had to take another pain killer again in my life. Particularly codeine. I hate what codeine does to me. I think it makes me depressed when I come off it, cause I didn't take it yesterday or today until half an hour ago and I was SO down and I had no reason why.

Great. Just what I need. Drug dependency. :( I have had a daylong headache and sore guts. So much fun.

Going to be early. Love you all and see you tomorrow.

Aww, Nancy. :(

Hope you feel better!

Don't worry. Emotionally I'm feeling much better, and I'm not in pain at the moment either. :)

Glad to hear you're feeling better since you last posted. ^_^

If you're taking codeine for headaches, I think that the reason why you felt so down without it, is because it is supposed to happen this way in cases that deal with head stuff. Sedatives are agents that decrease the level of a body function or nerve activity, so if you took it (codeine) for a rather long time now, it is natural to feel a little down, considering the above described purpose of the medicine.

Furthermore, it is recommended that you do not stop taking it all of a sudden if you've been taking it more than 5-7 days in a row. It is recommended that you ask a doctor about how to proceed with reducing the dose.

I hope the pain doesn't come back and that you feel as good as possible soon.

I took it for roughly four days because of bad period cramps. I absolutely cannot go without it, the pain is so bad without the help of pills. Seriously, I was in agony the other day. I'm so glad to be at the end of my periods. For a couple of days the pain is gone and I have energy. It's nice. No endometrium = no owie. For a few days I can do nearly all the things I used to.

Oh, I see. I know how bad the cramps can be, personally I am in horrible pain whenever they happen and painkillers are my only hope.

Great to hear it's over now. ^_^

Yeah. They can totally suck. I'm glad it's over for now too. Though the endo pain is back again pretty quickly. :(

this isn't very uplifting

Well, if you want uplifting, may I suggest renting a Speilberg movie? Or maybe Wizard of Oz? :-P

I'm sorry my life isn't uplifting but I've been in excrutiating pain for the past three weeks. And this journal is about my life. So - the journal is going to report on my ouchies. Sorry!

(If this is you, Tom, darling, I'm just joking around. But I really DO wish my life was more uplifting.)
