Hi all.
I haven't been online in days. I'm terribly sick.
Think could be combo development of tolerance to either oxycodone or alprazolam, and a coinciding lung infection.
Picking up some supplements for the prior, and antibiotic for the latter tonight.
I am having rapidly recurring anxiety/panic attacks which are crippling. Chills, fever, abdominal probs', difficulty breathing, congestion, 'you name it', even felt a bit of heart pain this a.m.
I'm nursing trying to nurse self back to health on own so pls understand I've not been able to follow up a thread. Thoughts w/ all. Send me your good vibes pls?

I hope you get all better soon.
Have you tried Mucinex? Whenever I've had a chest cough/cold, it helps so much.
Also, I had benzo withdrawals 4 months ago ( stopped cold turkey; what a nightmare) and I had a lot of those symptoms. I was surprised that I felt like I was having asthma attacks (I suppose it was anxiety).
The cold sweats were the worst. Drats.
Sleep as much as you can and I will say a prayer for you right now.

Thanks 4 waiting all.
I'm back and I'm 'the same' :(
My biggest problem is not having access to any in-depth, quality health care.
WI am w/o the prior, and w/o support of family. They've abandoned me; given up. Our social structure is all messed up. I ask myself how I am so unworthy those I've loved and thought loved me could give up on me.
(shaking head .. need a butter tart or something)
I need a partner and love.
I've paid my dues and it's time for a little happiness dam* it!!! (Mad at my 'higher power' and said the prior loudly outloud!!!)

How is this possible? Why are the most supportive people in one's life those I do not see or do not know in real life?
A friend told me suffering is to realize fulfullment. I remember fulfillment. I've known fulfillment. Why must I be drawn backwards into suffering to again realize it?
I posted over on grief and loss today; thought not good for social today.
Oh thanks for the hugs and the prayers.
I wish I could just wrap my arms around all of you and you would just be there while I cried, and all of you, and even I, would feel simple plain ole' peace, a sustaining peace to last us a good stint, and then we would take whatever next step we need to take here in our lives.

> 5fHi, this is still me. Scratching and ClearSkie'd. I can empathize with the healthcare woes. Yesterday I had to drive many miles to my new pdoc's office. He was surprised to see me. I was surprised I made it there!
I made some biscotti the other day. They aren't butter tarts, but you're welcome to some. Chocolate can help sometimes.
take care
