Day 10 clean of oxy

No question. Just sharing my day 10. Can't do it with family or friends. Slow energy day again. Oh maybe one question...why do I look stoned? My eyes are constantly squinty and red. I have very big eyes so it's really noticeable. They water like crazy too. Even when I used it never affected my eyes. I look like an extra from cheech and chong.

Lol not stupid at all! And my daughter had curling today with her 4-H group. It was inside the areana though. And all the kids out here play hockey of course. Not me no,I love my summer volley ball and such. Lol I make a bad Canadian. I hate cold. And yesterday along with the sneezing I started getting a weird tickle in my throat which causes a constant cough? I seem to have more ailments now then I ever did when I was on oxy.

I can relate to what you're going through (congrats on the 10 days, btw...you are in the home stretch!).   I had really red and watery eyes and it felt like I was always having an allergic attack to something.

Even now, at 60-plus days, I'm going through a box of Kleenex every 3 days, and sneezing/coughing all the time.  It isn't a cold; I can tell...just my body adjusting to the lack of opiates I have been feeding it for almost a decade.

Wow, its really cold where you are!  Do you do any outside sports, like curling?  (I hope that isn't a stupid question....my first husband's family all came from the Great White North and they all loved that sport.)

Hugs,

Yikes!! That is cold! Maybe just stick your head out the door for a breath or two? :)

Yeah, the sneezing thing drove me nuts. I think it's your body still trying to rid itself of all the toxins from the Oxy.  Hopefully it won't last too much longer.

Stay warm!

Hang in there. This is pretty normal at this point. The no energy thing was the worst symptom for me. I can tell you that the more I did, the more energy I had, and the better I felt. It may be the last thing you feel like doing, but if you can get outside in the fresh air even for just a short walk, it will help. Sometimes, I would just sit outside on my porch for 30 minutes.  Also the watery/red eyes is typical as well.  I would sneeze my head off and my eyes were itchy and red. You can try some OTC eye drops for relief. That did help me.

Take care, and keep moving forward.
