Bumpy road

[luvabugga]

This whole process is quite a bumpy road!  Was feeling great until yesterday(day 9)...and then it all kicked in again.  I felt like I had all the physical symptoms back again...and then throw in some mental ones.  Wasn't pretty!  I forced myself to get up and go, even though I wanted to lay there and cry all day.  I managed to get through the day, actually slept a little bit last night...and feel much better today.  This whole thing is certainly no walk in the park!!

The most significant aspect of your post was that you got up and got out and did what you needed to do.  That alone shows that you have the strength to do more than stay in bed through a really uncomfortable time...GOOD FOR YOU!!!!  Take that as a huge positive and run with it....!!!!

Lmao @ pat. Dopey. Sorry had to.  
Congrats day 10. Soon you will feel better. 10-12 was the turning point for me.
Although as nolife4me said signs still linger for awhile.
I'm on day 33 i think,  and my legs still burn at night. But most all other symptoms have gone.
Hang in there everyday is a new beginning.

Love the 7 Dwarf analogy!!!  See...that does scare me though!  Does that actually EVER go away?  Like...never come back?

Pat -unfortunately I think I might be Dopey!  Definitely no Snow White...at least not these last 10 days!

Up and down is an understatement!!  I feel like a yoyo.  I'm trusting you all that it gets better...lol.  Today is definitely better than yesterday.  I was scared yesterday...was the worst day mentally yet!  I fought through it though!

Hey bugga, it really is an up and down process! The really good news is that soon the good days will increase, and the bad days will get fewer and farther between! You are doing great! Stay strong, and continue to fight hard! Be proud of your success!

Yes but as Kyle would say "At least you're not dopey".  Haha, that one cracked me up.

Ha!  If it was easy, none of us would be here.  Lol!   Good thing we have each other who understands.   I was sitting on the couch a couple nights back and this weird dizzy spell came over me.   Then I spent the last couple days achey, fatigued, tired, burny legs, cloudy, yawny and sneezy.   (My own 7 dwarfs of hell!)   Today is better though.  Not great.   Not trying to scare ya, just letting you know that this will come and go.   More better days than bad.  Fight for your life and freedome girl!

Obviously you know the rollercoaset ride I have been on! This isnt easy at all! We are literally fighting for our lives so It makes sense that its not a cake walk. We just have to keep pusghing through the bad days because for every bad day there is a good day waiting around the corner!

Your doing so good girl :) Keep moving forward!

When I said this was the hardest thing I have ever done, I meant it!   The past couple days I have been in PAWS at 32 and 33 days have been with wd symptoms making me feel crappy.  On one hand it reminds me of where I have been and on the other it is a trying process.   Going through the initial withdraw battle is easy...but you have to armour up for the war.   The good days outweigh the bad, but they do come.  Just keep surrendering to the process and keep your guard up.    Days 10 to 12 tend to be adjustment days.  You are doing great...its hard, but worth it.

You can say that again, but you no what last night was amazing for me I think that fog is finally starting to clear up a lil. I so didnt no wth everyone was talking about until now. Yesterday I think was a major breaking point for me Im at the point were Im very PI SSED cuz thats all ya think about. Last night I really was like really, Im just tired of thinking about it, you will too. Bugga we will not go back to day one. My daughter got me a keychain last night that said keep calm and carry on. That is the saying in my head now.. So proud u came this far you are so right this is not a walk in the park but we have to look forward to our time now, not pill time..
