Day 5...

Hey friends:) so I'm on day 5....and I have to say this time around, w/d wasn't as long. Physically I'm just tired-I'm dealing with my daily chronic migraines now (where as before I'd just pop Vic and not know I had them). That's the toughest part. I start my new teaching job tomorrow. I'm teaching primary life skills. My kids have pretty severe disabilities, and I'm just so thankful I'm going in with a clear head to help and love them each day. The pills made me short fused, impatient.....which as a special Ed teacher you cannot be. I've been taking excederin migraine, and sucking the rest up :( the cravings and sleepless nights are the worst. But, last time I only made it 7 days. I'm doing it this time! Love you guys.
