I don't know what being addicted feels like. I feel like maybe actually this was a terrible idea and I don't wanna. But it's not because I'm like itching for a fix. I don't think. It's just because it hasn't been 24 hours and my everything hurts. My clothes touching my skin hurts for example. <--that's not crazy talk either I feel that way sometimes. Random things that shouldn't hurt do. Especially bra straps and purses. Luckily, I don't need either of those in here. I can't open my own bottle of water because it hurts my hand to grip the cap. These are small frustrating pains. I won't tell you about my knees because I'm more afraid of how they'll feel tomorrow. Same for my back. Bahh. What sucks more than anything about fibro is that you look fine and you always feel like people think you're actually just nuts. I'm rambling so I'll just shut up now.
Okay, it sounds like physical addiction/withdrawal, but the bright side is that you won't have mental cravings after the physical issues that can be addressed are addressed.
I have no experience, personal or vicarious, with FM, so I'm pretty ignorant of alternative therapies for it. Hopefully some are available to you, hon.
