Fibromyalgia is one of the most painful conditions one can get; I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this! With a condition like Fibromyalgia, the pain is quite real and I would take the advice of your doctors about your pain management. Neuropathy (neuropathic pain) is really hard to treat and is so frustrating because there's no "boo-boo" to rub or anything like that...it's all in your "electrical system" and it hurts! I had a lot of nerve pain when I had my back surgeries and it was the worst. Anyways, there are a lot of ways to manage your pain but I do not think that the drugs are the factor, it's the fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, I think you have to get into the mindset that this is a chronic condition that you will have to take medication for; possibly for the rest of your life. It just so happens that this medication is narcotic. It's OK to take narcotics on for a chronic disease. So my advice is listen to your pain docs and try to not feel so guilty about the meds...you need 'em Hi Kristen.

I have always had back pain and started taking oxycodone for recreational use almost two years ago and a year ago I detoxed off of them. After I went off of them I had widespread pain through out my body for several months. This new pain would not go away and eventually I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a couple forms of arthritis. So, I went to a doctor and now I'm doing pain management. I don't know if it is really the diagnosis or the pain killers were doing this to me. Do you have any answers? I don't want to be on pain killers anymore. Will my pain go away? George,

It's always good to hear that people can relate to what I'm saying. It's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish with the site. There's a whole bunch of people out there like you and me who don't fit the typical mold of "addict" and it's hard to get help when you feel as though nobody understands where you're coming from. Good luck to you and I hope you have a good experience with the product. Stay patient and you'll make it. Thanks Jeanine! It’s always good to hear that people can relate to what I’m saying.

Thank you! I have been on 5mg Oxy's 4x's dy for 10yrs because of a bad car accident & took as perscribed. Eventally, I had to take them just to feel normal & I wondered (still do) if the pills where causing the pain over time. Recently I have noticed the pain decrease (thx to alternative therapy's) & I want off the pills. Needless to say it has not been easy. I'm just thankful to have read your article because I don't have many of the "addict behaviors" I hear people talk about & I couldn't relate to anyone. I just recieved withdrawl-ease today & I'm excited to start. Thank you! George,

I just saw your comments and I think you've got one thing going for you that you may not realize...healthy perspective. You know what's real and what's not and I think you understand that it IS possible to not be trapped and lonely with just you and your Tramadol. You say, "there must be something better than this!" and I agree and there IS. I'm glad that my posts have been helpful and I suppose it's always comforting to know that someone else may have been through what you're going through and got to the other side and is enjoying things once again. I don't think that there's anything wrong with your brain per se...although I'm not a psychologist, there's just something wrong with your lifestyle and relative to any chronic psychological issues, a lifestyle is easy to fix eh? Ultram has been lauded as a wonder drug as they all are...60% of the pharmaceuticals are taken by US citizens even though we make up 1% of the population! So what's stopping you from not taking that 6 a day? Withdrawals? What's a couple weeks or less of being sick compared to the years of misery that it has caused? Mouse nuts!!! Give yourself a chance without them and see what happens. There's always hope and always a way back...you just need to take the first step...and repeat. Hi Cheri.

I grew up dealing with my parent's addictions to alcohol and whatever else I was too young to understand. I swore I would not live that way, but the best layed plans. I have battled alcoholism my entire adult life. I began recovery at the age of 26 and have been seeking health physically, mentally and most importantly spiritually ever sense. To add to my illness I became addicted to tramadol after a bacterial infection ate large holes in my lungs about nine years ago. Tramadol was orginally marketed as the safe pain medication. I suppose that is why it is so easy to get. It is sold over the internet right along with Celebrex. It is, however, very addictive. I have spent the last five years trying to recover. There is no real help for an opiate addiction. But I have tried many things and read many books. My goal is to be healthy by the time I turn fifty in August of this year. I don't believe I have experienced much life with a healthy brain. I am no longer consuming alcohol and my tramadol intake is down to six a day. I was averaging 35 a day and got as high as 50 a day. I just need to know that there is something on the other side if I can just get myself healthy. I believe your experience and your blog truly help in that way. I don't want to believe that I am just too weak. It has been such a long road. I would like to do something more with my energy and time than just try to survive and be healthy. Thanks for your time.Cheri Washington State George,
