Be careful with Percoset. I was on it after my heart surgery, until I saw little armies waging war on the ceiling, between the air vent and the sprinkler and the recessed lights.

So, were they trying to capture the sprinkler and secure a water supply?

I’m a Lynn also, but DLynn, I named my daughter VLynn. Before my sister died she saw spirits in the corner of her room and defined them as death angels come to prepare her for her transition. She announced on the 10th of Dec that year that she’d be leaving us on the 22nd and that is the day the death angels or at least death took her.

In her hospice bed my grandmother was talking to her dad. Telling him she was almost there.

When my mom was extremely sick at around 83 years old she was talking to her mother (who she hadn’t seen for 70 years) telling her she was coming.

She got better and is alive still today.

Because of that part I’m falling in with the “see a doctor” crowd. I’ve lived with ghosts and known others who have and its never left a bad feeling. That clues me in that something is wrong more medically than any other way.

The thing is I’m just usually super in tune with ghosts or spirits being around and I’ve never felt any in my home and we’ve been here since 2009

Less than 50 posts each too, but Shhhh! Let them two-play out the dramedy a little before poking holes in it.

Are you still symptomatic, JLynn? Has the switch to the new medication been helpful?

Hardly, it’s certainly not the first time, or the last time this will happen. I’d not give it a second thought.

And yes, report this to your doctor.

Yes. I was a little paranoid as it wore off but I feel much better and don’t seem to be seeing anything.

The doctor said it’s not often people request to be OFF hydrocodone. Most of the time I guess people are trying to find ways to get it to abuse it.

That and the bad feelings are why I’m thinking medical. Or at least saying its the best place to start. Meds can have some funky “out of the ordinary” side effects sometimes. And any that come close to being any form of depression/depressed feeling ought to be taken seriously.
