I think sleep is the best healer and when you finally get some it is so wonderful.

Great job on getting to day # 6. I hope most of the WD's are over.

Good for you!!

You are solid on the road. Day 6 is fantastic; for me, the improvement from this point on was remarkable. Yes, I had bad days too, but as time passed they became fewer and far between. You're one tuff cookie.

So so very happy for you Teri, remember to slowly drop the little helpers as time goes by.

Awesome!  I slept 8 hours last night too!  I didnt even take my gabapentin!  I think it was Scott (my friend that just killed himself) visiting me and allowing me the peace to sleep!  I am so proud of you!  Still feel honored to follow in your tracks!  Keep it up!

You DID it Teri! (We knew you could!!) Give yourself a big pat on the bag. Wow, 8 hrs, eh? You're the 2nd person today in their first week that I've seen getting Olympic-Medal sleep like that. I'm really happy for you 'cause it makes all the difference & is a really good sign.

Now, the question is, as you start to heal, what can you do to make sure that this time 'sticks'? Any thoughts on aftercare -- 'Guard-upness'?
