5 1/2 days weak, dizzy, nauseous and now

A sick baby :( ugh. I know I'm completely complaining here sorry. I'm just ready to start heading in the other direction. I hate this weakness, no energy, feeling like crap stuff. It really puts a damper on what I need to get done in a day.  Now with a sick baby it makes it even worse. Please pray things turn around soon. How many days for subs withdrawals? I read online 1-2 months that can't be true. I was thinking more along the lines of 7 days??

Hun each day that passes you are closer to your healing. Make sure you are eating. Nourishment will make you stronger and help with your energy level. Get some sunshine, move around as much as possible. You have had a few hard months. I am proud of you.
Are you staying staying hydrated today?
Keep up the good work. You are doing great.
Aww the poor baby,  hope she can sleep and will heal quickly .
Sending hugs and prayers for healing for you both,
Debbie

Thank you :) my stomach has been happy today. I'm not sure if its going to stay that way or decide not to when I least expect it lol. This is all new for me and I'm learning sometimes things sneak up on you.  
I'm glad to know this doesn't last for months!! I about had a panic attack over that one!!!
I am concerned about the depression part though. I really hope that stays away. It didn't really hit me coming off the fentanyl but I went straight to the subs. Now with me going off everything I hope I'm ok.
This has been one crazy battle I even have bruises to prove it but Im winning my life back and I'm proud of that. Now if we could just fast forward until Monday that would be amazing :)

MY!!!!  WHAT A COMPLAINER YOU ARE HOPE!!!!  SHEESH!!!

;0)  Teasing!!!  LOL!!!

Who wouldn't be complaining?  Honey, I'm the biggest sissy in the world.  If I had to go through 1/8th of what you guys have gone through, I would be blowing up the forum and crying like a baby.  That's why I cannot stress how impressed I am with how you've done.  SO many of the posters here just impress me so much.  Seriously, there's a bunch of really tough cookies in this place.  Tougher than any of you think you are!

You've been through the ringer!!  And yes, adding a sick baby to the mix really stinks!!  Like I (think) I told you, you will need a day or two to bounce back from the dehydration too...that's a real insult to the body!  You have to consider that as well.

You're listening to those horror stories, no, it's not going to take 2 months for you to get through the acute part of this.  I told you that by next Monday, I think you'll feel a WHOLE lot better.  Now, granted, there will be some things that linger for a while.  It will take a couple of months before you really get your pep back and such, but you will definitely be able to function MUCH better than you are now.  This is the acute phase...the next part is the residual stuff that is just your body trying to readjust.  That part will be somewhat annoying, but not affecting you like what you're going through now.  You'll start having much more good days than the lousier ones.

You already have almost 6 days in!!!  That's freaking incredible.  You are coming to the uphill part, I PROMISE.  You hit a bump in the road with the scooters and dehydration, so you have to allow another day or two to bounce back from that.  How are the tummy symptoms?  Better?  You taking the meds when you need to?  Are you eating?

Time to pamper yourself a little bit...it's okay to whine and feel a little sorry for yourself, I would, but also celebrate how far you've come.  You've taken the advice offered, and as a result, you're almost at the finish line, sweetie.

You keeep doing what you're doing....you have so many people pulling for you!!

XOXO

Oh, my...that's really a challenge. First, hope you and baby both recover soon. What's baby have?   :(

I dunno how long it takes, someone else will need answer that for you.

And I think one of the best things about on here is that it's totally ok to complain. You wouldn't believe how much fussing I've done!!

Totally, we all know how dang crappy you feel, how miserable, tired, just wanting to feel normal....

Hugs
