Congratulations from snakejones! This huge thread reads like a novel. You should see a playwright and have it made into a screenplay or a novel---that is, after you add some more clean time and aftercare, as it's gonna be a true story and we all want a happy ending for you and your family. But I swear someone should do it. Then you wouldn't have to worry so about money! I might not be able to fix the world but I can incite others to riot. Well, maybe not quite that much power, but I am always full of ideas.....
God bless you, sweet lady, and bless all the angels on this forum that have ministered to you thus far.

I've tried couch, bed, recliner, etc. not working. I do drink a lot during the day. how much longer of this?

Hey-  I remember that Tram had the same problem. Are you drinking enough?  You need A LOT of fluids.

It could also be positional. Try a change of bed and room. A recliner or the sofa for example. Sit up slightly and rest that arm on a pillow in front of you, then put the heating pad over your arm.  It passes but I know it's awful!

hi,ive been quietly following your journey for the last 3 days but have been too tired to even post anything,im on day 4 of my c/t from tramdaol,codeine and morphine for severe back pain and im only 28 and have four kids the youngest just 3,its been hell for me too but amazingly no rls after day 2 and i am able to sleep all night every night after day 2,but i get u on the anxiety and the fatigue,i cant believe u did the zumba class im in shock and awe of you and think ur great and inspire me to get up and move a bit,i can barely manage a shower without nearly falling from tiredness and i dont know why since i seem to get more sleep then most but this trip has taken so much out of me,i have been taken all my vits and amino acids etc,and truly believe they have a huge role to play in me being able to sleep and no rls cuz of my  high intake of potassium and magnesium thru pills,its stopped mine as soon as i started taking a high dose of both and lots of vit c. hope i get thru these days too and wish you all the best and pray we never go back to the numbness we lived in for so long as we deluded ourselves into a false happiness that sucked us from all joy and any real trace of our personalities,,,,,im so glad a lil trace of the old me is shinning thru on day four,just hope it gets easier, i live in Ireland and its 8.51pm here so any time u wanna chat and wanna swap woes ill be here for you since we r going thru it at the same time,God bless.
