Day 11 - I hope this rollercoaster ends soon ~

Quick note before I jump into the bath.

Well, I've made it to Day 11. I've made it this far before, and have always felt better by now. However, I always had a score to look forward to within the next few days. So maybe I only felt better emotionally because I knew I was in for a treat??

Anyway - I do have some 'up' moments, but the 'down's seem to be deeper and deeper. Today, I almost cried at work - for no reason, I was just /that/ sad.

Oddly enough, I start the day feeling great physically - as my mood starts to elevate, my physical feeling dwindles - by 5-6PM, I feel exhausted - but at least I can enjoy TV at night.

I'd much rather end on a high than a low (which I have been), but I hope this emotional rollercoaster I have in the AM ends soon.

Thanks for your sweet post (in a thread below) - it is so important to know that I'm not going through this alone, and I am still right behind you - and I think we also more or less feel the same w/d symptoms, it seems where yours maybe a bit harder on the emotional side and mine still a bit harder physically. But I sure hope it will get better soon. Emotionally it is hitting me a bit now, I am frustrated that the w/d are prolonged (yesterday was the sorst day I have experienced, I made it to the grocery store in the morning and did the house stuff, but then I felt so bad, I had to stay in bed the rest of the day and just SUFFER! I have never experienced anything like it - worse than the worst flu, because it didn't help to take aspirin etc.), and that I am having problems with pain in the jaw again (looong boring story), but I feel too weak to contact my dentist, so I will just have to bear it. I am also experiencing ups and downs emotionally and feeling like crying one minute and actually crying the next and then feeling ok emotionally. A rollercoaster indeed.
You are on day 12 now, I am on day 11, we will see this though together!!!
Lets pray we both have a better day.

Thanks for the wish - as for exercise - I've been walking at least 2 miles a day since day 2. Though there was one day I was too sick to - plus all the smoke we had from the wild fires.

I have to say that while exercising, I do feel better... but I can't walk from the time I wake up until I fall asleep. :)

Also - I do feel like I'm whining a bit, and I apologize to everyone for that - I just want to get better before I cave into something like taking Tramadol or Suboxone to feel better - especially after suffering for almost 2 weeks.

Hi :
I just wanted to say that maybe a brisk walk might help your mood. It seems the more I lay around and do nothing the worse I feel. I have heard so many people say excersise is the key to getting better sooner. Good luck with everything!
