I have no idea how to even explain how the last week has been. Well, I have AS and or RA so I take a lot of drugs. One of them being OxyContin. I get a month at a time and since it is a controlled substance, I have to have a prescription each month. This time round, I had my wife call my doctor to get my OxyContin Script. I normally request the script 7 days in advance since I won’t have to be with out. Well I ran out and had to wait 4 days with out any OxyContin. Now, the last 4 days I have been detoxing. Detoxing from 40 Milligrams of OxyContin a day!

I finally got my scripts so the aching, painful movements are gone now.  The edge has been dulled to a almost nothing now.  This was one of the worst weeks this year for me.  The only thing I have a hard time with is knowing that something as small as a pill has such power of me.  But then again, I need this pill to live a half way normal life.  I am on a double edge sword.  At least I am still alive…

I missed work today. I woke up and could not move my legs and or my elbows. AS/RA had set in over night due to a few reasons I believe. I quit taking prednisone over the weekend due to high blood pressure and high/low blood sugars. Also, the the weather kicked in too. It started snowing and got very cold. Not sure which was more at fault but either way it hurts like hell and disables a lot of the shit that I can do. I am so sick of feeling like this that it pisses me off. Nothing I can do about it. I am sleeping a lot more for some reason too. Probably the reason why I can not sleep right not at almost 2AM.
