Thanks, Emily |
I think you should try some ibuprofen or aleve for the neck pain. Whatever you have OTC that helps with that type of pain.
You don't need to take any additional suboxone though tonight.  We need a day tomorrow where you take 3mg all at once when you get up, then take another 3mg later in the day 8 hours later. I'm flying home to Seattle tomorrow evening so we will talk in the morning and in the afternoon before I leave. Then we can pick it up again Monday morning as by the time I get to Seattle it will be very late on the east coast.
Let me know how you're doing tomorrow mid day as I will be going to church in the morning. I'll check on you before I leave for Bible study though which will be about 8:00 CST. Think you said you were on the east coast so I'll check on you about 9:00 your time.
Take a really good hot bath or shower this evening. That should also help some with the your neck. I'll talk with you in the morning and will check back on you later this evening. God bless.

Obviously, they would work a lot better than tylenol...oh well. I will take another bath or hot shower later tonite.

Hot showers will become your good friend until we get you good and stable. Hang in there. I'm going to go eat some fresh shrimp for dinner. Talk later. God bless.

Thanks, Emily | Hi Emily
don't worry It may take a little bit to get things leveled out, but Robert knows what he is doing so he will get ya fixed up ...
and as he says you will never have to do this again...
I had a bad addiction to opiates and did a taper and then quit, but a year later I had to have surgery and they messed up on me so I had to take pain pills for a couple months and I was pretty worn down so I did the subs to quit that time...I just wanted to jump in and tell you things will get better hang in there, Ill be talking to Robert soon so if he doesn't see your post I will ask him about the skelaxin...I took those before they work pretty good...
OK girl I will talk to you soon, Melinda |

Em, I guess youve gotten the word that you should ignore certain posters, as have others. It's ok. It's certainly your choice. Again, I want to say I was really only trying to be helpful and comment on what I saw and thought. I'm sorry the post wasn't taken in the spirit in which it was meant and that you didn't think it was worthy of a thank you for the good wishes or a maybe you're right or an I disagree entirely and don't appreciate your suggestions. I had hoped to help and wish I had gotten a response from you and not someone the post had nothing to do with. Again, however, you're entitled to do as you wish. I wish you nothing but the best of luck with the taper. I know you'll get through it fine. |

BEV ...... There you go with your whining trying to stir up trouble AGAIN because someone didn't reply to you like you thought they should. And I have NEVER told anyone to not reply to you contrary to what you think. You aren't worth the time it would take out of my life to do that.
You got kicked off here once already for causing trouble. Why don't you just leave well enough alone? She doesn't OWE you a reply.
I don't think Emily wants to talk to you or are you going to chase her around until she posts to you. Maybe you can shame her into posting to you. You don't have any business jumping her case because she didn't answer you.

First of all, you don't know me or who I am or am not. You've accused several people of being other people and your were wrong each time. I didnt start anything here. In fact, I didnt say a word to you. I spoke to Emily. You answered for her. I spoke to her again. YOU answered for her again. Remember, the first communication between us was when you wrote me in an extremely sarcastic manner for no apparent reason. I don't know why you have the need to speak for Emily. We're all adults here. She certainly has the right to not answer but surely, YOU don't have to answer for her. I didn't address you at all so there is no reason for us to engage each other.

Well I am engaging you whether you like it or not so don't speak to me again ever and I won't speak to you. You interrupted our conversation, no one asked for your opinion. You started this nonsense.
Don't tell people that I am in the process of helping what they should be doing when you don't know what you're talking about. Play your games with someone who gives a damn. You're just a crabby and lonely old lady.

Emily | Hi Emily
please pay no mind to that poster...for some reason she gets on threads and tries to start fights...we have been trying to ignore her but she just wont give up...she has been banned before so she changes her screen name...
you don't need someone doing this right now if she had any compassion she would just mind her own business...
so lets just keep on focusing on getting you better...
Talk to you soon, Melinda |

You don't even know me and I would love to disengage. I'll disregard your name calling. I don't consider myself crabby and I'm not old. I am surely not lonely. If I were, Id just spend all my time online to compensate. You wrote me first and it wasnt nice and there was no reason for it and you keep writing back saying things that aren't nice for no reason. I never "got on Emily's case". I would never get on someone's case who's on here trying to work things out for themselves. NEVER. I just told her something I thought I was right about in an effort to help then wished her the very best of luck with her taper. I just wondered why YOU have been responding when I never posted to you or referred to you. I interrupted a conversation? Noone is allowed to post anything following your posts? Sorry, I didn't understand the rules before now although if I feel I have something to say that's helpful and not negative, I'll say it. Obviously Emily wasn't interested in my post which is fine, it's her perogative but why are WE talking about it? I'm not a fighter, prefer to get along with people and have nothing further to say to someone who would be so rude to me for no reason, so please stop writing to me as if you know anything about me whatsoever. I'll do the same. Thanks you. |

Good morning Robert,
Gosh am I glad I decided to take a break from the computer last nite!!! I saw none of the craziness till this am!
Well, you said I would feel as good as in high school. I know it is still a little early for the analogy to fit...but I overslept again like I did in high school-LOL and my husband didn't have the heart to wake me 
So, I just took my 3.0mg dose at 9:40am. While I am waiting for it to dissolve, the little bit that gets caught in my saliva seems to be making me a little nauseus...not a big deal, but there's a new one
The 1/2 skelaxin was perfect-took the raw edge of pain away, so I was able to enjoy one of my fav sappy movies-The American President and then with one tylenol pm sleep like a teenager!!! Yeah!
God Bless!

First of all I want to thank you for your interest, concern and good wishes.
However, you are terribly underestimating me if you think that someone could give have given me "the word that you should ignore certain posters" and that I would blindly follow that advice. I am following Robert's plan to a T because my weeks of research tell me that I should. Not to mention the fact that he and others on this board are caring, compassionate and understanding...Nor does he claim to know all--He has been totally upfront in saying this is a a work in progress and with each person it is obvious that the bumps in the road have taught him and others a lot...lessons to be learned from...
In my short journey so far, I have had many questions but always get a logical answer and PS without getting cocky--it seems to be working amazingly well--at least so far, so good.
So, the bottom line is that I am so grateful for his knowledge and his willingness to share it with me--in spite of the fact that just prior to my request for Robert's specific involvement, he had explained to all of us that he would not be able to be as actively involved. But in what is just one small indication of what his character must be--he has stepped to the plate in a major way for someone in need-THANK YOU!
Again a genuine thank you to you as well for your concern,
Emily |

Melinda,
Thanks again for all of your support yesterday-How lucky am I with the team I have in my corner!!! You & I seem to have a lot in commonie fibro, opiates, surgeries,etc. I have been skimming some of your old posts to get your story But, now the burning question---where is the thread where you began to fall in love???
xoxo, Emily
PS for Robert,1 hr after 3mg dose and very little of the wooziness compared to the last couple days. 90 minutes will be the true test since that is where it was usually the worse-have my timer set to check |

One more update for Robert-At the 90 minute mark a little more woozoness than at 1 hr, but nowhere near yesterdays...so that's a good thing. Over the last hour I was able to make a frittata-which would not have been possible yesterday or the day before.
I'll keep you posted,

Oh girl did you make me smile, I swear that was all so much fun... did you read my first thread when I had tapered down from my vic's asking for suppopt...I was already doomed by then I asked Robert if any of the girls got crushes on him ...LOL.. I don't think he talked to me for about three days after that...LOL...but I was persistant...I was like you, I read a lot before I posted and I think I loved him before he even posted to me...looking back I think I would have been scared of me...but I played it cool...I was on a mission...I started sending him e-mails like a joke every couple days and then we started talking it was in a time span of Aug to DEC. then finally I told him I was going to fly to Houston to meet him and I don't think he really thought I would so I sent him my itinerary from the airlines...and since we met that was it we really hit it off and have been together ever since...who would have thought you would meet someone on drugs,com...LOL...
it really was fun tho we would say things like I'm going on a trip this weekend and Robert would say I have company coming this weekend...a few people caught on to it...It was fun...
I hope this brings a smile to your face it sure brought one to mine...
I know Robert is at church today and will be flying home tonight, but I'm sure he will check on you before he goes to the airport...
I hope you have a great day
talk to you soon, Melinda |

talk to you soon, Melinda | Yes, I did read that part of your thread...call it woman's intuition or whatever, but that was the moment I thought it was! Now that I know that, it will be even more fun to go back and read the next few weeks after that. Thanks for sharing with me-Nice people deserve nice people-I'm so glad you found each other...
Have a beautiful Sunday,

Emily .... I'm glad that you didn't have to listen to the trash talk last night. It was totally uncalled for.  That's not very good at all for someone trying to get a recovery program underway.
Don't worry about anything, all is going well. If you recall I mentioned the induction takes four days. After that four day period we will be doing a 25% reduction on your dose and that will be what I refer to as your "lowest effective dose." That's the dose you'll remain on for about a week until we begin your taper down. I'm glad you're feeling well today but it's after that four day induction followed by the 25% reduction that you'll be really be feeling good .... totally normal and like a kid again. 
I will be going to the airport this afternoon and it's a long flight to Seattle, plus the two hour time difference. So after I leave today it will be morning before we speak again considering you're on the east coast. I won't be getting home to Melinda's and my house until close to midnight west coast time. So ask any questions you may have and I'll be checking in again on you before I leave today.
Yes it was kind of strange meeting the person I will be with forever on the forum. I have never done that before (and I have participated on several forums) but I obviously met the right person. Melinda is a sweetheart and much too good for me, but she is open-minded to my insanity so we get along well. I will talk with you later in the day before I leave town. God bless.
