No not really sure what that is? But I work 6 sometimes 7 days a week 12 sometimes 13 hours a day,not so sure I could do recovery care,but I will keep trying the vitimins that have been suggested

Congrats on 6 days!!  Gotta give yourself some more time, i know easier said than done.  I do believe the older we get the longer it takes to get it all back.  Keep moving around as much as you can.  We have to get those endorphins working again.  They got pretty lazy for awhile.  Have you thought about any recovery care?

Thank U :)  OK  if it is normal will keep slugging it out,,its a good thing Show Season is still 2 months off,See I train and show Saddlebred and Morgan Show horses,so our season Starts end of March and goes thru November,,another reason I chose to do this now,the lessons go all year round but thats almost more Mentally tiring then physical.
I am taking the fish oil and started the St Johns this morning,I only took Melantonin last nite no Ambien.  All Tram pills are flushed down toilet and script cancelled as of 4 days ago so no turning back even if I wanted to :)  and I don't ,I just want to be Strong Physically again,,not used to being so weak,,Weird PLace for me to be in. I guess being 51 doesn't help LOLx30000 .
Thanks Again ,,I will Keep Posting

Good morning sis4478 - day 6 yay for you!!  Yeah, I know.  It's hard to feel pride yet right?  I remember my husband telling me all the time in the beginning how proud he was of me, and I would just mumble something and walk away.  I didn't feel it and I couldn't fake feeling it either.  He meant well, but I felt so sick it was hard to hear anything positive.

And yes, what your feeling is very very normal.  It wasn't until about three weeks or so that I started to really believe I was going to get through it (of course, I still had a bit of a battle ahead of me).  And the physical stuff stayed with me for the first few weeks too.  Terrible headaches and nausea, overall very very weak, legs felt like they were made out of lead and my upper arms hurt so bad (this symptom was a strange one that's for sure).  Just dragging myself around and my eyesight was really bad those days too (weird).  Everything was fuzzy, inside and outside.  So please, be careful when riding.  If you're not feeling strong enough, don't push yourself to the limit.  You know better than anyone what you're capable of right now, so if anyone offers help, TAKE IT!  This time will soon just be a "bleep" on the radar screen so in the end, a few weeks of needing extra support is okay if it means a lifetime of sobriety and clarity right?

And I found the supplements and vitamins to help me so much and I believe you are taking some of these right?  You may not notice an immediate effect but that's the way they work.  Takes some time in your system before you notice the benefits.  But you will you'll see!

Just wanted you to know I was still here - and that I think it's so great that you're hanging in there.  Just keep posting - as others I'm sure will check in too.  I've noticed that weekends tend to be a little quiet, and usually by mid-morning Monday there's more activity.  I have faith in you so keep going!  It will get a little better, than a little worse, than a little better (think you know where I'm going here?).  So give it the time it deserves.  Getting off of this poison was the best decision I ever made and it will be for you too.  I'm still cheering you on!! :)
