My Son Just Drew Me a Picture of a Woman “ghost” or Spirit He Says He’s Been Seeing…?
Question by : My son just drew me a picture of a woman “ghost” or spirit he says he’s been seeing…? for about seven months in our house. He says he sees her out of the corner of his eye, but when he turns to face her, and she vanishes. He says she does not seem threatening, nor is he afraid, other than the first time he saw her. He seems to be telling the truth, as opposed to pulling my leg. What to make of this, I do not know. More info: this conversation occurred at dinner tonight… my husband had excused himself from the table, & was in another part of our (two-story) house. (We were all downstairs.) Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something white moving down the hall. It appeared to be a person wearing white. It happened very quickly; I assumed it was my husband. I called out his name & got no response. My son, who was also facing the same hall, saw movement as well. It was not my husband; he soon came from an opposite corner of the ...
To a Medical Doctor About Opiate Addiction and PAWS (Post Acute Withdraw Syndrome)?
Question by JiNx: To a Medical Doctor about Opiate addiction and PAWS (Post Acute Withdraw Syndrome)? I have off and on, mostly on, been addicted to prescription pain medications (Opiates) for about 10 years (I’m almost 30 now, and started at age 19-20). I have tried to quit many times, failed many times, did succeed once early on, for 6 months, but started again (Thought it would always be easy to quit). It is literally… a nightmare now. I have a child, I am single (My parents, god bless them, have helped me take care of him, but I would do anything to get from underneath this medication to do this independent, just cannot do it sick, and my PAWS seems to never end), and don’t know how I am ever going to be able to get off of it… or a dependable form of medication to maintain the addiction (Methadone, Suboxone). I guess what my question is, are there doctors that prescribe METHADONE for the maintaining of the addiction, not for pain? Suboxone would work, if I c ...
