6th day setback

[betterdays01]

Well after bragging how well I was doing yesterday, I slept horrible last night, on the couch checking my pulse which i thought was racing and not.  Woke up feeling shaky and bad in general.  Made it till now and just took an ativan.  I know their will be days like these and they suck.  Still determined though.  I will be ok and make it another day.  Is it normal to feel great one day and so bad the next?

Tomorrow will be my 28th free from vicodin and I can't even to begin to tell you how great I feel.  Granted the first two weeks totally sucked, but each new day it gets better and better. So hang in there everyone, tomorrow is a new day and YOU will feel better.  God Bless. MS

Oh yeah, it's been a roller coaster for me. Even within the same day I have gone from total lethargy to feeling pretty good, and then crashing like meteorite. Emotionally and mentally I'm generally in a big fog much of the time. Evenings seem to be better, early mornings the worst.

I'm on my 11th day, and have just accepted that it's going to take a long time. Cravings come and go.

Exercise, when I can just just gut my way to start and get through it, has really helped my mental clarity and general feeling of well-being for a few hours afterward.

I'm with you, keep going.

Hang in there. I found for me, the first month was tough. Getting my energy and motivation back was a biggie. Exercise is wonderful and find something that you enjoy. for me it is reading. I got myself into a comfy chair and cuddled with a good book. I still do.

It will get better...that is a promise!!

Yes,it's perfectly normal;  I posted the same type'of question yesterday (which was also my 6th day).

I felt great day 5 and yesterday, i hit a brick wall...today, i'm actually feeling much better....who knows what will happen next, but i've been told we'll have good and bad days and as time goes by, the bad days start getting farther apart...hang in there

Hang in there, you'll feel better...if you can find my post, i received a lot of great feedback from these great folks, so it might help ya out...
