Page "Paula Abdul" Paragraph 58

In May 2009, Ladies ' Home Journal posted an article on its Web site that said Abdul told them she attended the La Costa Resort and Spa the previous year to recover from physical dependence on prescription pain medications.

The medications, prescribed due to injuries and her RSD diagnosis, included a pain patch, nerve medication, and a muscle relaxant.

According to the article, Abdul said the medications made her " get weird " at times and that she suffered from physical withdrawal symptoms during her recovery.
