Well in to day 3 - Hydos C/T

[aTtHeEnD]

Well here I am. Just got home from work on day 3 of this disaster. I really didn't think I would make it through my day, but I did! Last night I actually took some NyQuil, helped a little I guess. However, any of you ever feel like you can rest your whole body but the legs? If I had a invisible bike I would have been peddling away last night again for sure, heh. I am absolutely exhausted today. It may have to do with walking about 8 miles at work today (that actually helped too) Pounding tangerines down like oxygen as they seem to help in some way. Dont feel great but not as bad as day before - so far. I can smell things better, is that normal? I used to think I coulnt do my job with out this stuff (hydros) but I actually found my self doing a better job, in very detailed work mind you. I hope days cont to get better.

Still takin the immodium too, taking it so I dont get the squirts. Been successful so far. Not one poo dart yet. Lots of fluids and vitamins and music. With out the music I would have gone INSANE already for sure. Wish me luck as I cont through the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and Im 40 so I have a little experience in life.

Trying to stay positive. The notes and post replys do help me, so please keep them coming. It is therapy in of itself.

Congratulations on day 3!  WOOHOO!!!!  You are doing great!  Are you taking hot baths too!  That really helps me before I go to bed.  Another thing I do is take Magnesium at night for my restless leg syndrome and it works for me. Some people say it doesn't, but it can't hurt.  By the way, also try Melatonin - it's a natural ingredient in our bodies and sometimes when we've abused our bodies we become depleted of it and it can help you sleep too!  Also, for anxiety you can try Valarian Root.  It tastes nasty but my hubby uses it to help his legs and muscle cramps at night.

Anyway, keep staying strong and try to be positive!  We are here for you!
