I AM STILL HERE???

ALRIGHT,its day 9 and my arms and legs feel like dead weight. Went and got the imodium this a.m. and told the lady at cvs to use some antibacterial sanitizer b/c she took my $20 and I looked like a scarey homeless ragamuffin and told her I've got real bad flu! She looked like she didn't want to take the money.... Lol. But I'm here and I think as soon as I get up the strength I will need to go to a meeting. Thank u again to everyone here. Not perfect but I think the worst might be past?? Hope so.

No, not taking anything other than multivitamins, gatorade (in sips), vit c, gaba 750, did take epsom salt bath a few minutes ago kind of knocked me out. Was worried about the immodium b/c I wanted to make sure all of that garbage out of me. I think this forum has helped me save my life. Feel better than yesterday, I thought I was dying!

Hey there.....congrats on the nine days!  Your tude is awesome....keep it up.  Hot Epsom baths are great.  Drink lots of water.  Before you know it, this will all be just a bad memory one day and perhaps even a memory that you can share with someone that you feel may have a need to appreciate your experience.  Are you taking l-tyrosine?  It's really helping me with my up switch.  Truck on friend.  Hugs

Congratulations on 9 days clean! That is so awesome my friend. Now for the leg and arms problem...I had that too, only they were jumpy, like a twich here and a twich there, I thought I was jumping out of my skin. The solution for that would be hot Epsom salt baths. They are full of magnesium which helps draw all the impurities of the drugs out of our system. Put 1 or 2 cups in a very hot bath, as hot as you can take it, and just soak. You will feel soooo much better afterward. Take as many as you want. It won't hurt you, it will only help you. Good luck, and keep posting and let us know how you are doing. We all were in your shoes at 9 days. I couldn't even get off my couch. So to actually go to the store is totally great! Keep on keepin' on, it will get better soon, I promise!
