Hey Anita, always good to hear from you and I’m glad you decide to swing back by the forum and update us on your taper. You’re a perfect example of how a taper does not need to be rushed. You’re doing it in your time and I think that’s wonderful. I hope your husband continues to do well.
I just wanted to give you a little hope about the pain issue, I got on pain pills after a fall, I shattered both ankles, broke both legs and broke my left arm. I ended up going through 7 surgeries to get all put back together again. I experienced pain all the while I was on pain meds, I experienced pain while on Suboxone, although while on Suboxone, my pain was better, BUT when I got off Suboxone my pain almost all went away. It took several weeks off of Suboxone before I realized what was going on. Nowadays, I may take Advil once or twice a week at most. As far as I know, I suffered from opiate induced hyperalgesia. Do a quick google search for opiate induced hyperalgesia, they’ll explain it a lot better than I would.
