Day 2 without MS Contin

[Quietsunshine26]

For some reason my phone isn't letting me add to my last comment. It says error after I typed it twice. So I thought I'd try & start a new one. Skipped my 6:00 AM post which is part of my daily routine so that was hard. Just the headache, eyes watering, sneezing & grumbling stomach so far. Does anyone know how long the half life of MS Contin is? Not many post about it?

Can you think of a better gift to give them than a clean mama?

Thank you for the encouragement. I'm already worried about the night to come or lack of sleep. I did buy a book & am an avid reader but strange that I can't focus enough to read the first page. My legs are sore, I'm shaking & sweating like crazy. I feel selfish for doing this during Christmas when my kids will be here tomorrow night. I guess I'll see what tonight/tomorrow brings & I'll adjust accordingly. This stinks!

That a girl! You can so do this! One day at a time.  Find something to occupy your mind tonight like a good comedy or book or whatever you find interesting. Making it passed day 2 woo hoo!

Oh wow I've been spending too much time in the bathroom for my liking. I'm sweating, shaking & sneezing. Imodium is my friend. I think I'll take another shower & better drink more water. Besides that - it's all good!

I made it to Safeway & back. As I walked my legs felt heavy, head foggy & I'm shaking like a leaf. I live in a small town & felt like everyone could tell. I'm thankful to be home.

It's great to get out and get some air! Force yourself to shower or even better take a nice long Epsom salt bath. It will really help with the restless legs and draw out the toxins. See if you can get the fragrant Epsom salt but any will do. And don't forget the immodium! I'm a huge coffee drinker but found it hard to stomach that first week. You're doing great! Keep posting!  I'll be back later as there is so much to do!! Ugh!  Hang in there baby!

I think I'm doing ok. Glad nobody else is here. I forgot to get coffee at the store yesterday so I may head there before the bathroom issues get ugly. I apologize if I post a bunch in the next week. I will NOT go through this again which is a refreshing thought!

Good morning sunshine! When posting from the phone make sure you're on the "full site " instead of the "mobile app ". I had that problem too in the beginning.  It's so frustrating pouring your heart out especially when you don't feel well and then it won't post!  Ugh!
ms contin is time released morphine so it will take a bit longer to leave your system. Its not synthetic though so it won't take too long. How are feeling today?

Oh & my legs were going crazy last night. Still are this morning. UGH!
