Hi.  I had a hell of a night.  I was up all night here and there with the baby who doesn't feel well and I tossed and turned a lot but I am finally out of bed for the day....
I don't feel good, but I, well, I'm a little afraid to say, I think I might feel better.
y nose isn't as stuffed or runny, and my skin isn't crawling nearly as much.
I still feel like I've been hit by a truck.
How about you?
Thanks for asking!!
:)

good morning sweetie, i didnt sleep well last night either, had a chance to sleep in for once and of cours i was wide-eyed by 6:30am!!! have to work this afternoon and wish i had more sleep. how's the baby? i'm sure knowing the baby isnt feeling well makes it hard to sleep. please remind me, i get so confused w/ so many stories here. are you tapering or c/t?

girlybuff · Answer

It's c/t for me.  I just needed to stop prolonging the inevitable.......
IT's probably been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with next to giving birth.  
How are you today?

i went c/t about 2 weeks ago, but i've cheated a little here and there. had a root canal done, OUCH, and a tooth pulled, which isnt healing right and is killing me. but i'm proud of myself regardless. i went c/t from 10-15 lorcets 10mg. i few vic 5mg her and there dont do sh*t for me really, but help wiht the pain. I'm not a taper kind of person, its just to easy to take an xtra one all the time, rationalizing it w/ it wont matter in the end i have to deal w/ inevitably... My mind LOVES tricking me...

girlybuff · Answer

Yeah mine too.  I would rather feel like total **** for about 4-5 days than feel a little shitty for a month you know?
I'm just so tired.  I have no strength and can't even think clearly.

have you been taking vitamins? B12 has helped me alot w/ energy, i take it by injection, but is just as effective in pill form. Drink lots of water too, not only will it help flush your system, but keep you from dehydrating, which causes fatigue... Keep strong you can do this and remember we all have to take..."baby steps"

luv ya,

I'm in alot of pain this morning, but i took a motrin (do otc drugs really work?)We'll see if that helps!  I'm going to take a nice hot shower now. My kids just left for school after being home for the last 10 days.  I feel like dancing!  It is tough detoxing with kids around!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, the vitamins also help. Like tink said, I take the B vitamins and the VM75 (a multi). The other day I drank a big bottle of green tea not realizing it had caffeine in it. I was shaking all day, couldn't understand why I was palpitating and nervous! DUH! So now I just drink LOTS of water when my stomach can take it.

girlybuff · Answer

I don't know how you did it with kids around.  I'm pretty much useless right now.  My mother is doing everything.  Thank God for her!
I am not feeling that well.  I'm very weak, mostly from not eating.  I am trying to keep water down but it doesn't always work.
I HATE this whole process......
I'm going to go lie down for a bit.  
I'll be back.
Have a good day until then and thanks so much again!!
