Sleep is not going to be real plentiful right now.  Take a warm bath as that should help.  You can get thru this.  This part is only temporary~~~~sara

Hey Brisco,

Do you have any supplies?? Take multivitamin, hlyands RLS (or potassium or Bananas), plenty of liquids, motrin... HOT BATH or HOT TUB work wonders. It WONT last forever. Few more days. YOU CAN DO IT... Hang in there. You will get to the other side and it is SO worth it. Day 28 for me.... I'm rootin for you buddy!!

take a hot bath with epsom salts. take deep breaths, get valerian root, melatonin this will help to calm you down.  the back pain is rebound pain, your brain is screaming to take a pill. dont give in you want this remember you want to be clean. you can buy hylands restless leg from walgreens or walmart. eat bananas that has potassium good for the legs. go for a walk.
