When I was addicted to painkillers,

: Lessons from nearly 15 years of experience

The beginning of the headache cycle.

My story started as a teenager, about 14 to 15 years old, when I started having frequent headaches, when doctors gave me Kaffergot, which at first relieved me well, but when the drug ran out, the pain returned, and worse, the more and more frequent the pain.

.

The doctor changed the drugs and recommended going to the hospital for morphine injections, similar to the drug withdrawal process, but with the exam, I had to go back to the exam and take a new batch of drugs.

15 years fighting pain

Then it was alive, sometimes it was better to take preventive medicine, but then it was painful, and I had a headache that I felt that a day without pain was a gift from God.

Stay used to pain. Close to pain.

Carry anesthesia, aromatic medicine all the time.

Apply your head and wash your hair often.

Rest your eyes, ice compress.

Buy your own medicine to massage, take Chinese medicine, bury it, made by

But it never healed, and then it got worse and had to inject painkillers in the hospital because it was really unbearable, and doctors increased the dose.

.

Instructions heard over and over again.

Everyone said, "Don't stress, don't work hard, rest a lot."

But I've done everything!

At one point, so much pain that it cannot work begins to have a clear impact on function.

.

Turning point, doctor. Pull the consciousness!!!

I decided to go to a private doctor not far from my office.

The doctor scolded me for grabbing the admit, grasping the MRI, punching the spinal cord, and saying:

"Headaches are not normal. Normal people, no matter how stressed or hard-working, do not have such pain, do not get sick 20 days a month like this, this is not normal!"

The doctor said, "I have two ICU patients, they have terrible symptoms, they don't have any headaches, everyone has stress, everyone works hard."

Working 70 + + hours a week without pain

.

I Realized That. I've always been patient at the wrong point.

The doctor said it was healed, but he had to find a cause, and more importantly, he had to withdraw the drug.

First rule: When is pain? Do not take painkillers.

Slowly need the drugs out of the body system.

The road of recovery

At first, the doctor's protective medication improved for two weeks, but when the medication ran out and didn't go to the appointment, the symptoms came back to pain.

Life is really hard.

Now I'm trying Dry Needling to find alternative painkillers.

A message to someone who is experiencing the same problem.

Symptoms of Medication Overuse Headache (MOH)

Analgesic addiction, or MOH, is as follows:

Headaches are getting more and more frequent. Even after taking the pills, they haven't completely healed.

Need larger doses of drugs to achieve the same effect.

Immediately headache when the drug is stopped.

Take painkillers more than 10-15 days a month.

If you were

Hurry to the doctor and find an alternative painkiller. Don't let the symptoms spread.

What I want to say

Health is important. If it's lost, it can't be returned.

For people who are crazy about work, I want to say:

Get some rest.

Make time for yourself.

Finally, all the money we can earn will go with all the medical expenses.

Side effects of an overdose

Overdose of painkillers affects:

Kidney system - accumulated toxins, overworked

Liver system - requires heavy drug excretion. Could cause damage.

Nervous system - causes an unstoppable pain cycle.

Gastrointestinal tract - ulcer, abdominal pain

Take care, everyone.
