Aaaand we’re onto the next stage of detox! I’m now off my severadol 🙌🏻🙌🏻 and aiming to use just one dose of fentanyl a day if needed for rescue! I went 31 hours (!!!) without ANY opiods... that’s literally the longest I’ve gone since I was like 12?! Sometimes I forget what a big deal this detox is, then I remember I’ve been on these meds since I was dwty, and that this is, in fact, a HUGE deal. It is a slightly daunting and exhausting thought that I will have to experience detox again at some point... and at various points in my life. My palliative consultant is clear that there will be times I need opiods, and that I will always be working on a sliding scale. A good day will be a zero, but a bad day... won’t. But we are also clear, as a team, that now I’ve smashed detox once, when the time comes I have to do it again, it won’t be so bad... because I’ll know I can do it. I’m also absolutely sure I won’t be taking opiods unless it’s absolutely unavoidable because this shit is Not Fun. Although I stopped my severadol yesterday, I’m only really feeling it tonight. Detox had started in earnest and it sucks tbh. Can’t wait til I’m through this and hopefully don’t have to do it for a long, long, LONG time. Heads up that I am grumpy and tired and feel like shit 🙈😂💩! If any of you wanna distract me during this SUPER FUN (not) night please send cute animal photos/jokes/anything at all to distract me. #opioddetox #detoxsucksbutitsworthit #feelingshite #justgottapowerthrough #thedrugsdontwork #palliativecarewarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTyWKFj1mR/?igshid=1ba8ol19g86lc

Me to my mum the minute she walks into the room: I DRANK THE fancy ORANGE JUICE, OKAY??! Mum: okay? Me: I went outside in the sun for five bloody minutes and this stupid detoxing plus the heat made me go all wobbly, so I drank the juice!! Mum: ...okay? Me: YOU CAN’T BE MAD BECAUSE I FEEL AWFUL!! My mum: I literally don’t care that you drank the orange juice... Me: SAY WHAT YOU WILL!! Mum: can you please calm down about the juice?! #detoxingisfun #palliativecarewarrior #opioddetox #benzodetox #thedrugsdontwork #slightlyobsessedwithorangejuiceatm #prayformymum https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbKrRvjpDG/?igshid=4vxz3nvl26rp

Hi all! Just a quick update;excuse typos etc as I’m very very tired! I may be quiet the next few days as I’ve made the next drop in my opioids and I’m once again experiencing detox with some lovely withdrawal symptoms 😬 although definitely nowhere near as bad as rounds one or two! I’ll write tomorrow to update y’all on our latest plan in more detail and when I’m actually, like, fully conscious and not in the throes of detox (the first day or two is the worst, then your body adjusts and things settle, at least when things go right 😂). I’m very grateful for everyone’s support ❤️ it means the world! Please be patient with me this week 😂 I’m a grumpy cow suffering some crappy (literally today lol) symptoms! #opioddetox #benzodetox #palliativecarewarrior #thedrugsdontwork #medsarentworking #tryingsonethingnew #detoxsucksbutitsworthit #imsorryimgrumpy https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYZVLqDHz0/?igshid=93h99rxr76pe
