Day 6 Free........... but feeling so exhauseted.

[jibi07]

So i'm day 6, I slept good last night, took a lorazapam to help though, dr gave me ten days worth.... i was scared I was going to suffer another night of RLS, but i had a hot bath before bed, this helped,  big time, really relaxed me. I'm starting to laugh more, do a little more, but my energy is so low, i feel so exhausted still... do these things come back? how long does it take? My husband is starting to wonder whats "really" going on, i have him convinced it's my blood pressure being to low and i just need time to i guess get it back where it should be.................. any suggestions?

Thank god for this site, sooo many wonderful people here!! xoxox

Thanks for being here for me!!

Hey Jib,  Congrats on day 6.  You are almost out of the woods.  Everyone on here has given you some great advice.  Your body needs to be fed.  Its hard to do, thats why we are relying on protein shakes and gatorade/vitamin water.  Those supplements are a life save also.  I dont know of any great thing to say to help.  Just stick it out and know that it gets better.  I does take some time.  I am on 15 and still feel some affects, but alot better than day 3-6.  Stay strong and good luck!!

I'm on Day 7. Boost drinks helped alot has lots protein. Especially since appetite stinks during this initial process. that with vitamins n bananas are god sent. Its really helped with energy. Stay strong, amiss boost was 15 bucks for 12 pack. Cheap for the result really. Have to have something in stomach. Keep plugging away, day 7 now here n eating, smelling and clarity are coming back. Forgot those things existed.  They do!! it DOES get better, I promise

GNC has most of the stuff.  I got the smallest bag as that was good for about 7 days.  Sometimes they have buy one get one at half price, or if you dont have a member card you can sign up and get 10% off.   I think some people use Ensure, but I dont know how much amino acids it has.   I bought a bag called: AMP Amplified WheyBolic Extreme 60. (1.2lb)  I told the guy my story at GNC and he said this blend had a bit more of some of the others they had for recovery.    Glad to see you are feeling better, and smiling. Music is great and dont forget to sweat as much as you can to get that **** out of you.  LOL    And lots of sunshine if you can.   Great job jibi07!  Congrats on Day 6!!!   Whoooooo HOooooooo!

hey hydro, where do i get that shake stuff from? is it expensive? i'm in a rut right now.. obvious reasons, my money was going elsewhere, so i got a whole lot of catching up to do................. ugh........................ i'm smiling more today, happier mood.... think my natural endorphins are coming back.... and thank god for my IPOD, it's been a godsend, lol.. thanks for your advice and comments!! xo

Did you get the Amino Acid Protein Shakes?  They will really help you feel much better.  I took 3 scoops of the chocolate type each morning and it really, REALLY made me feel better.  Not jittery, or buzzed out like the energy drinks.  And dont forget to be drinking lots of gatorade as well..  The energy will come back so hang tight.  My energy got much better once I started the Amino Acid Protein Shakes and Gatorade, but I did not begin doing such until about day 13.  Before then I was trying the L-Tyrosine and such but they did not help me any.  It helps others though.   If you can break a good sweat exercising that will help a tremendous amount.  I know it seems impossible to consider right now but it will help TONS!   Can you get a bunch of sun too?  It will cheer you up.
