2nd day and feeling really tired and weak

[Tryagain82]

Not really a question just need some encouragement. This second day is pretty hard and I have a nine week puppy to care of. All I want to do is sit but I can't . I'm lucky to have a one year old dog that plays with him a lot. I just feel like crawling under the covers. Need help with motivation.

I agree with gnarly 100%
There is light, I slept okay for 2 nights now and the restlessness is going away.
I'm still having problems with being exhausted and a tight stomach but nowhere near as it was days 1-6 those days was minute bye hour days. Looking forward to you recovery

Hi  and welcome to the forum....well  the first week is the hardest  you need to cut off all supply's most of us could not do this with pills in the house  day 2 is ruff for everyone  this is nothing you can fix with a pill...this is 1/3 phyical and 2/3's mental so be ready to fight it ont on both fronts  I have said this a million times  but ''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile''  the best thing you can bring to the table is a positive attitude...it makes the difference between being uncomfortable and suffering....suffering is a choice... pick up a case of gatoraid and force the fluids get out and rent a bunch of movies  most people dont sleep it will give you something to do wile your up all night...a hot soak goes a long way to releave most of the symptoms keep reading the posts and post often for support  we know just what it is like to be in your place....just know it is tempoary YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!! where here to help  may God be with you....................................Gnarly

I cannot even tell you how much I love your pics. My "handle" on here, Jifmoc, is the shortened version of my 2 now deceased rescues, Jiffy and Mocha. Love that you are so into your pups.

I know you feel like absolute hell but on day 3, you are supposed to. Can you kind of resign yourself to the fact that you won't feel good for a while? Just let time pass and you will heal every single second.

Your posts are really helping me. I gave my dog a bath and then took a small walk (it's really hot here) in the sun and it felt good. It gave me my appetite back, a little. Thank you again for your encouragement and congrats on 10 days.

First I like to say I'm sorry for how bad you're feeling, there's a light at the end of this dark road. A lot of sun helped along with hot baths.
I'm half past my 10th day and I know it's no easy task to take on alone.
I hope you can feel the encouragement everyone here try to bring just to make it to that next minute,  hour, day, week and soon month (I know it's so close.)
I've been on Tramadol only for 2 years and before was hydrocodine (loratab 10mg) for many unknown years before those, tried to stop many times and never had sucess.
Well here I am past that and I know in my heart it can be done, we have much to live for to keep going down this same dark road.
I'm praying for you,  hope to keep seeing your progress because it helps me to know I'm not along and to give my testimony is rewarding.  Hope it is the same for you.

Thank you and I think I will do that when these two dogs take a nap. Also sit in the sun for a sec. It seems a little to hot to take them for a walk today. Its 90 here. Thank you again

[Tryagain82]

Thank you for the encouragement.

Well I'm sorry your feeling so lousy. Day two is a rough one for a lot of folks. Watch a funny movie, it'll help tons! Just hang out with your "babies", and know your one day closer to the finish line. Hang in there! Btw~ how cute is that lil guy in your profile pic?? Precious!

Take care...

I no on my second day I didn't feel as I could move but sat in the sun for a little bit then headed to the hot shower.  
It's going to be slow and I know that I felt like laying down but it just made me restless.
Wish I had more words of encouragement. Let go and give it to God, he has better plans for us than we do. Hope you feel better soon (half way through day 10, tramadol)
