head cold after 15 days

[secretsquirrel]

hi everyone-i have been 15 days clean from codeine / ibuprofen tablets- which i was taking 3x day for 3.5yrs. after a week of hell, i felt like i was starting to get better when i noticed my right gland in my neck was swolen and sore. i've been sneezing a lot, but since day 12 it's been ridiculous! sneezing literally every 5mins!! many sneezes in a row- i have sinus headache and had a runny nose. what i'm wondering is, is this part 2 of withdrawal ?? or have i picked up a terrible head cold ?? my gland is still swolen, nose blocked/ dripping, sneezing, blocked ears. i just want to be well!! it's over 2wks already!
thanks

I am clean from 7.5/750 vike habit for 40 days.
I wnet through the w/ds like diarrehea, rls, etc.
I had a head cold which peristed for a month. I sneezed for the first week of the head cold.
It probably is just a w/d symptom- we all react somewhat differently
My throat was red and sore but throat culture with doc was negative.

I would give it a couple more days.
If no change see a doc- could be sinusitis.
But probably just the lousy pills.

This is my 11th day, and I have a chest cold, I've been wheezing and couging alot, runny nose.  I think it may be our body trying to rid ourselves of the toxins we've put in them, but who knows.  I just pray for the day that I'm HEALTHY, and can't wait for it.  By healty I mean 100% clean too.  I still take something to help me sleep, and I've started drinking wine every night.   I hope by Nov.1 all that will stop and my cold will be gone too!

I think you have a cold. Theres no way you could still be withdrawling that bad. Get some cold meds and see if that helps. Congrats on kicking the habbit. WAY TO GO!!!
