Day 2

[Readyforfreedom12]

Feel so blah. Want to cry and horrible body aches. I'm at work for another 6 hours. Can't figure out if I'm freezing or hot. Please help

So sorry your feeling bad. I know you've heard this a hundred times, but it will get better. I hated the anxiety, and the sluggish feeling, kinda like peanut butter running through your veins. Time almost seems like it stops when your in detox. Just be patient, your almost there sweetie! You can and will make it!!! Take care...

Feeling horrible. My hubby says this will probably last at least 7-10 days since I'm sooo sensitive to medications.

[Readyforfreedom12]

Keep in mind I am extremely sensitive to medications. I have come off anti depressants before and tapered off and had a horrible time. So this may last longer for me

[Readyforfreedom12]

Thank you. I heard these withdrawals can last w little longer than other opiates. I am off work Saturday  through Tuesday again. I am hoping Wednesday I'll feel better.

My hair hurt when I went through it:)  Every follicle of hair ughhhhhhh.  Seriously everything is magnified in pain. But this will reside. I took IBU, tylenol, and all of the vitamins/supps that VIC suggested. I really think a lot of that helped.  Along with my frantic posting for help on MH. I wouldn't have made it through without this forum.   It WILL get better . Do not lose hope!!!

I had the sore feet too. I got the diabetic socks and wore those. Also wrapped a heating blanket around them and elavated them. Hopefully you'll get through this in the next few days!

[Readyforfreedom12]

I am still feeling bad and my poor feet and body ache sooooooo bad!!!

[Frogger76]

Hi, I hope your feeling a little better. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as hard on ya, better days are coming soon! I'm glad you were able to make it through work, that must've been tough. Your doing great, keep it up:)

[Tina6444]

Don't get down on yourself girl. We all look back and think how did I get myself into this mess. A lot of us started out with good intentions of just relieving pain and it evolved into a dysfunctional cycle of abuse. You are stopping it early…believe me!
You have some great advice above and I agree with all! I think those epsom salt baths are pure magic with reducing muscle aches!!  Let all your emotions run free…it feels good to get them out.  You will get through this!!!

[VICourageous]

You are doing Great and just keep stepping forward.
All of this takes TIME & with TIME comes PATIENCE!
It takes some time for these Toxins to flush out and for the Brain Chems to fire back up. There is so much to what we do to the Body and Brain. The Brain chems get all whacked out when we are using..As we heel this will send different singles to the Body. It takes awhile for it all to clear up.

I agree with the above and make sure you do take some good vit/min and Antioxidants and Electrolytes are very important. We have to replenish back what we have lost during our using. Also Magnesium, Calcium, Potsium and Ds will help relax you a bit. I would take these alot at night when I first started out. Get under a Big Heating Blanket for the aches besides them Salt Baths. The Salt has Magnesium in it and this will help draw out some toxins..It did take me a long time physically and the mental took a few yrs, but I am a older chic who had used off and on for over 40yrs. The longer, the older, the harder. If I could turn back Time I sure would of not done this to myself..Ha!! YOU will be fine and will Bounce back soon.
Just  hang tight to that surf board and ride that wave. Soon you will be walking on that beach. The best thing you are doing right now is working and this will help redirect your mind. The detox will be over soon, it is working on staying clean that takes the cake. Get out and hook up with that outside Support too!!
Bless

Thank you guys. I'm off work now. I do have Epsom salts thank goodness. Heading to take a bath now I think. My poor body aches horribly. I cannot believe I got myself into this mess.,

[Krissy_123]

You're doing great sweetie!! You haven't given in,day two is almost over! You're awesome! If you don't have any I'd deff pick up the Epsom salts for your bath. Imodium is great for tummy troubles. I hate bananas but I choked them down because they were suppose to help with rls. Just keep posting,we will help you through this! I just got off work or I would have got back to you sooner. You've got lots of love here from all of us!! Xox

[Readyforfreedom12]

Thank you all so much. I'm doing ok. Leaving work and going to take a BATH! I can't wait to feel better. This is a flat out nightmare!

[NeverAgain127]

Honey:

You'll be okay.  Stay busy, stay distracted.  Force yourself to MOVE...it really helps.  Are you drinking a lot of water?     Stay well hydrated, eat bland foods, and trust me, you'll move through this just fine.  

You made the right decision...in a few more days this will be much better.

Hugs,
-Robin

PS Do something GOOD for yourself tonight.  Take a hot shower, put on your favorite jammies, watch something light on tv, or put on headphones and blast away your favorite music.  Every minute you are getting better and better...

[Frogger76]

I feel so bad for ya, but I know you'll be feeling better real soon. I read your post from yesterday, and when that vacation rolls around in a month, you'll be feeling like you again. Go off and enjoy your vacation, you deserve it my friend!!

Hugs~
Sherry

[Readyforfreedom12]

Thank you Sherry. It's such a nightmare. I can't believe I'm going through this.

[Frogger76]

Hey there! What your experiencing with the hot/cold flashes is normal, I hated those. Your emotions will be totally out of whack for a while, but all will return to normal soon. I couldn't imagine going thru this while at work, so good for you, at least your keeping busy. It will pass, just hang in there. Cry, yell whatever you have to do to feel better, lol. Stay strong, keep up the fight, your doing awesome!! Take care...
