Well, when I was taking 7.5 Vicodin, I started off at 3 a day, and ended up a couple months later like you, getting nervous when I was running low, hoping the Dr. would approve more....yes...I think tyhen I was becoming addicted, because when he stopped giving me vicodin, even though I tried to tell him how bad my shoulder and neck pain was...I nearly went NUTS! All I could think about was finding another doctor to write it for me or wondering if I knew anyone that takes / has some...or if a friend of a friend would sell me a few...yesh I knew then I needed to back off for I am sure I was starting to become addicted to it. And honey, you said your pharmacist husband said you won't get addicted if you need it, I am not so certain I agree with him....darling just space your doses out and take them only when the pain really hurts, but remember too..take it before the pain becomes unbearable or it won't work for you as well. love you and hope you will be ok. you are such an inspiration to us all here!

Life is a mystery. It is a gift.
Don't dare miss even a moment of it.
Yesterday was a lesson, today is a prayer,
Tomorrow would mean nothing,
If I can't find you there !

"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."
