not doing well at all

[troubleinohio]

Morning you guys. I wasnt around yesterday because I was in the worst WD yet. My pain was though the roof. I spent most of the day laying down with a heating pad and had my husband take care of the kids most of the day although I was forced to cook meals and go to the grocery which about killed me. my legs felt like 2 ton weighed down tree trunks and every step was so painful. But i made it through another day of hell without getting pills. I hardly slept last night again either. I lost track now how many nights ive had without sleep. Just goes in sspurts, half hour doze off, wake back up for 2 or 3 hours, doze off another half hour, etc. I hurt terrible today too, my whole body and depression is getting worse probably due to lack of sleep.
anyhow thats my update

Hi, I wish I could taake lots of hot baths or showers. But with two wild boys 4 and 2 years old who wont stop fighting with each other for 2 seconds its impossible for me to do so lol. I have to wait til my husband is done working for the night before i can crawl into the bathroom for myself!  I can barely go take a pee without hearing somethign crash in the other room followed by crying and yelling! lol

I am so sorry you are hurting...Are you taking hot hot baths??? drink alot of water...At night i would take advil PM gel caps, and was amazed how that worked for me, now it wasn't many hours at a time but it sure helped...
I think my legs were the worst too....I am praying for you..This dosn't last forever, i promise..

icy hot too!!
God bless

i'm sorry to hear things aren't going smoother.....just remember (even though i know you have heard it tons already) this is only temporary, and this too shall pass. you will look back on this time in the future and learn from it....i think one of the worst parts of it all is if you do suffer from legitement chonic pain (thats how i got started) and you go back to not having the pain meds, it just wreaks havoc on your body. i had to take excedrin pm a couple times to go to sleep....heating pad lots, i got some of those icy hot pain patches too, put them everywhere my pain was bad....lots of green tea and antioxident drinks, went to the heatlh food store and got a bunch of aminos and what not on fladdicts list. (i think) i am not sure though how much the natural pain reliever dlpa is working though....one can only hope.
i tell myself this also----the easy way out of this would be to just take some to make the pain subside, which at many aching times sounds wonderful. but every time you would take one, you would go through the wd cycle again....its like the pain rat race or something.....but regardless, you are in my prayers dear.
