As a frequent sufferrer of pain who had to go through the same thing I really feel for you. Is there any way that you can be tested for white blood cell count? Sometimes when you are on pain medications such as Opiods the body stops fighting infections because you no longer feel when you might become sick. Your digestion and stomach plays a big part too. After using opiods for 5 years I am Gluten intolerant. It did a number on my stomach. I agree with you that it is a mental problem as well as physical. At my most painful moments I was never taking the amount of Opiods that you take. This was in part because the doctors did not believe I was in pain. They prescribed me all sorts of medication for pain including Cymbalta and a number of NSAIDS and muscle relaxers, which are hard on your stomach and immune system. The mix almost made me mentally ill and sent me over the edge. All I can say is choose wisely and cut your dose down slowly. Very slowly. Don't try to go it in one day or even one month. One suggestion I could make is Maeng Da Kratom if it is legal in your state. However don't trade one addiction for another. You can pick it up at a shop where they sell glass pipes for Mary Jane. Do not mix it with the Opiates. That was the worst experience ever. Maeng Da is legal but on the package it has a warning saying not to mix it with other depressants because it has a bad effect. It made me feel like crap. Then I used it to get off of Opiates for good (by itself). I felt the good effects when I mixed it with caffeine and orange juice. It is only good to use 1 to 2 times per week but it will give you a sense of well being, energy and mental clarity. Good luck to you. Not sleeping is a problem with Opiods. Maybe not at first but eventually everyone I know complains about it. Good luck to you.
