Woke up it and it been 40 hours

[overeasy]

I slept but it was not very restful.  I woke up in full body sweats and then was freezing.  I feel better than yesterday but getting up was still hard.  Instead of my old habit of taking a pill, I drank my water, took my vitamins and had a Ensure shake.  Then got my shaky butt up and rode the bike for 10 minutes.  The kids have to be at summer school in 40 minutes (its for fun they signed up for things like little theater and crafts around the world) I still feel a little nauseous but that could be from taking the vitamins on a empty stomach.  I think night is the worse.  I dread it but I did get some sleep so I really can't complain.  

Hoping that once I hit day 3 it gets better.
Good luck out there-

I find doing things and exercising does at least make time go by faster. And you were doing a lot of meds so it isnt easy coming off but YOU ARE DOING it!! Awesome.

i have been really pushing myself so today has been easier than yesterday.  I do mean pushed it- laundry, errands, playing with kids, rode bike, walked, did dishes, made meals, cleaned the house,- everything I did not want to do, I did.  Pushed water like crazy, still have problems with eating or should I say choking things down so I make sure to get enough calories from Ensure.  Took a few Epson salt baths then got up and moved.  I literally could not sit still and it did make the time go faster.  It was miserable but I have noticed that this day 2 is like my day 5 the last time I tried this.  I can only hope that by doing everything that has been suggested/recommended on this site will make this time quicker.  No turning back now.

Oh, if anyone is interested I was on 80 mgs of oxycontin a day plus an additional 20 mgs of percs for breakthrough pain.

by the way thanks for the encouragement

It will get better! Give it a few more days and your physical symptoms will improve. It isnt easy but doable...so keep it up!
