Getting terribly sick

[TramadolTrap]

I've gotten a horrible sore throat, chest cold and swollen glands. Is this normal? I'm still going through some withdrawals. Ugh lord help me

[msdelight]

Yes I agree, there are some nasty bugs spreading around this time of year. I think water is much better than Gatorade because it has so much sugar. Bacteria and virus thrive on the sugar. Perhaps try water and drink OJ instead. You can fizz up the OJ with club soda. Good protein and vit C will help you feel better. Take motrin or aspirin for the aches and see a doctor if you develop a fever. Feel better and keep moving forward.

When going through detox, your body's immune system is going to be weak, because your body is busy trying to reset itself and recover from the pills, so it's not uncommon to catch a bug during detox. I've had the worst cold I've ever had for almost 3 weeks now, and it has sucked! But once you start feeling better, it will be that much better!

Hey Girl.....well it seams that many people get a flu or cold right after detoxing  I think the imune system takes a dive from the withdrawals  and this is very common your doing really well for detoxing off tram  just stick with it....how is the out pacent therapy going???? anyways your doing all the right things......your not looking for a pill to fix the way you feel.....your pluged into a good aftercare progam  and your now a member of ...''you dont pick up no mater what club'''  keep posting for support...................Gnarly

Thank you all. Spider you made me laugh. I still can barely eat. I drink a ton of Gatorade a day. But don't feel well. I would think I'm over the hump but I'll tell you this. It's still ROUGH. This tramadol beast is no joke. Now I feel worse.

If you start running a fever higher than 100 call primary. Your immune system is week and if you came in contact withy anything, better to be safe than sorry! Take spiders and krissys advice on how to treat your symptoms now though. Give it a few days but watch the fever. That always concerns me cuz you could have infection. Just my thoughts!  Xx

Hi there.....ya know, I think it is kinda normal for some of us.  I got sick about 4 times within the 1 1/2 year period after quitting..........I rarely got sick taking pills before that.  IMO I think your "system" is taxed while detoxing and getting your shite back together....and therefore a weakened immunity.....bla bka right,....you don't care ....you just want to feel better.  Drink lots of water....keep taking the baths if you can. ......soups......crackers......juices......music......heating pad .......

This too shall pass. Hang in there.

It sounds like you have a bad flu/cold on top of your w/d's and yes that does suckk!! Stock up on vitamin C and drink lots fluids. Throat lozenges for your sore throat.
