so we didn't take any pain meds for like a full day because we weren't in that much pain and only took one dose today (because of period pains, not post-surgery pain, weirdly enough) but before the surgery we were on a much higher dosage because of the pain from the abscesses and not being allowed to use ibuprofen for a while and guess who now has withdrawal symptoms again. holy fuck

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #addiction tw #basically we went a week without taking these in July after they treated the abscess and we got withdrawal symptoms then #and then the abscess came back and we ended up taking both co-codamol and ibuprofen again to manage it #and then we had to stop taking ibuprofen 5 days before the surgery and could only use co-codamol #so all in all it's been almost 3 months of taking something with codeine in it nearly every day #because it was the only way to actually somewhat manage our pain #and now we have to deal with opioid withdrawal which fucking sucks
