Day 4-Still alive

Well,I got thru another night of sweats,chills,rls,and no sleep.I don't even feel like myself.I am so tired,all I want to do is sleep,but every time I lie down my heart races,my body aches,and my legs and arms feel like they are going to jerk away from my body.I have two small children,one 5 and one 8 months old.I am trying so hard to be their mother but it is so hard when your body feels so bad.I want to scream!I spent last night praying to God to make all of this go away.I swore I would never touch another pill or drug of any kind if he would just please take this pain from me.He must be busy.

there are some natural remedies for sleep that people have tried on here...I have not had the lack of sleep problem/opposite in fact...I hear skippy talking about calme forte and melatonin...also the calm Now/cal.mag supplement....just want you to get your sleep so u will be in a better position...I like to get my house like sub-zero and put blankets on then throw them off if I need to....low temps slow down your metabolism and help with sleep

Keep it up! Don't turn back now..... can you imagine going through day #1....#2....#3...#4 AGAIN??? No way! You've come too far! If it makes you feel any better day #4 seemed to be my turning point. I'm sleeping much better, the physical w/d is gone, I'm just left with the mental game, which is easier for me to handle knowing that I'm not always gonna feel like this, this too shall pass. Its so worth it I swear! I'm on my one week mark and I haven't felt this grounded and clear headed for a long long time. As far as God being busy, I'll pray for you too : )   I truly believe that if he just took away the pain we would be right back in this mess, instead pray for strength, peace, and sleep. Much Luv!!!

Hang in there this is a slow process and I know it's hard to see light at the end of the tunnel but it's there. This is something you have to find within yourself to fix and I know its hard when you are in the middle of it to understand. When we put drugs into our bodies for a length  of time and abuse them then our bodies are crying out for the drug. Your body and mind will calm down in a few days just please try to stay strong
