Day 11 complete. Still not "great"

Still spiking a lower grade fever here and there. Nerves still raw. But I guess it's getting better and better little be little. Sleep is not great and eating still causes me to fall into a coma and I am still having the bathroom issues. Some of it is my fault i get ravenous hungry then eat too much and that kills my energy. I am taking vitamins and good protein shakes but really not sure it's working. Just thought I would be doing much better at this point. Probably hoping for too much with jumping CT from 160mg+ per day of oxycontin. It's just that I have never had a real fever from detoxing before. I have read that it is a symptom of detox just new to ME and I have done this about 6 times now. I don't know whaTs causing the fever and I can't go to the Doc right now. It's lower grade but still I know it's keeping me down. I am taking tylonol for it but it's just coming and going. I'm really ready to start feeling better. This is kind of discouraging.

Yeah. 13 seemed to be the magic number. Things are not 100% but way better. Like a
Breakthrough last night it was weird. Going much better now. Every day little by little.
