Gosh Cathy, you wuldn't think that it is w/d..have you taken your temp.? Maybe you are coming down with something or are you taking any antibiotics to prevent infection? If so that could mess with yur belly and sometimes depends on what kind can give you aches in legs and arms.
I hope you fell better, when do u have the next one?

I wouldnt think so but you know i am new at this....i would not think it would be in such a short time and just say i had the flu....which i have had since i quit and was no fun....virus's are everywhere right now.....sometimes i think i may blame too much on my addictions...i will still get sick, have bad days, and feel depressed sometimes

I don't think it is either....But that sucks , because you were strong enough to flush them...Maybe like u said just a stomach virus...I sure hope so, but not sure about the leg thing....
i sure hope you feel better

Cathy, you are so sweet!  I think you are doing so great.  I dont think it is wd's.  I think it might be you are a little afraid of them and are a little sensative.  At least I hope so for you.  You are still recouperating too.  Not easy.  I hope your pain gets way less.  Praying for you.

I am sorry that you aren't feeling good, but I don't think you would be going through withdrawals again if you only took them for 5 days but I can't be so sure, I hope you feel better.

I don't think it's w/d Cathy, and Lord only knows how you managed not to take the pills for longer than that...what're you made of, steel?  In any event, I think it may be cravings or something else like a virus.

Awesome job on so many months free !!!!!
