Hello all, day 16 today and still have issues

[bugsy2222]

I know I have been down this road way too many times in the past but this time is a little different and I need some opinions. Well, my demons this time were OP40's and 80's and perc's 10's ,, Now I can not shake these night sweats??? every night I go through at least 3 shirts,UGH, and the fatigue this time is overwhelming... I have been down this road many many times but I can not recall these symptoms lasting this long, my guess is its just absorbed into my tissues and its seeping out slowly?? Honestly, the demons are still there and because of the way I feel I just feel like getting a pilll to fix it but then I think of all the punishment I just went through to get to whwere I am. Also, I am angry, ugh, so angry, at the world, I could pull over and just start a fight, anothewr freakin great quality!  Anyway, I needed to vent, still unable to sleep, so here I am, just feeling sorry for myself when most people in my position would be jumping for joy. I am retired and financially very stablew at 49, who has that, UGH, I am a BRAT! OK, enough venting, I need aftercare, I know that, but meetings are not my thing, I really do not fit in that well?? So, I need to find a addition specialist to vent my sorry ***, and I need to go soon!!! Thanks so much for listening to me WHINE and if anybody knows about these stubborn symptoms , please let me know, thanks so very much!!! Peace and Love to all of us and **** off DEMONS!!!  Bugz

That was a HUGE step.  Good for you.  I understand how hard it was to do.  Glad you are feeling a little better today.
I hate the sweats and the worst part is waking up soaked.  Even when I am taking the pills I wake up sweating and freezing so I am really looking forward to that being over with.
Keep us posted on how you are doing.
16 days is fantastic.

Well, I called my primary today to fax over a prescription for treatment at a cebter today. Let me tell you , just by doing that is a big step, so the ball is rolling. I called te aftercare place and told them I was a retired prison nurse and know al the tricks so I need someone real good to put these demons to rest. So I think i will get in this week for an evaluation, this weird or me but as an ADDICT i need the help. Thanks for all the support guys/girls, really do appreciate it very very much. Dominosarah,,,your my IDOL, always there for everyone, thanks for all you do, it does not go unnoticed. Wel another dry day and I am starting to feel better, that sleep issue has to follow me soon, need to be alert. Well, aftercare is in the works, I will let  you all know how it goes, were going to squeeze these little demons soon. Peace and love  Bugz

Each time we go thru wd's it gets worse.  Make the call to an addiction counselor, the sooner the better.

Congrats on your clean time!!

When I was inquiring about going to rehab..There was a place that makes you "sweat it out" during detox. She said they make you sweat then take a shower then more sweating. And when I was doing my detox at home I took her advice and I would take really HOT showers and out on sweat pants sweat shirt and sweat for hours. I would make sure I had water or gatorade ( i cheated a couple times and had soda:) so I wouldnt get dehydrated. The leg cramps went away after day 4 so I think I got lucky and Im just starting to get a full nights sleep. I wish you the best.

Have you ever thought of a sauna. Speed up the ridding of toxins? I don't know that it will help much but worth a shot! It's the first thing that came to mind when your mentioned still sweating so much. I know though its your brain still trying to regulate itself along with your body temp but maybe allowing your body to sweat more will help release the toxins better. Hang in there. You've come too far to turn back now so keeping trucking along! You can and will beat this! Just takes some time!

The sweats were the last to go for me... and still wake up a little damp sometimes. Try a cold cloth on your stomach at night. This seems to do the trick with me! At day 16 i was drenched still... at 30 days still sweating. Then a member on this board suggested the towel trick, and BAM... dry. 71 days today, and still dry!

Hi bugs how long off the oxy's. you can vent to me anytime you like! Believe me when I say we all know what you are going through! And we are going through the same thing ourselves. Aftercare was not an option in my small town so I made this forum my aftercare. Just keep reading and posting, it really helps!
