feeling ill

[desperatetostop]

it's day 9 for me...and i was feeling good except for lack of energy...but now i'm seriously feeling like i might be coming down with something ... probably just a cold but something.

I'm achy, ppl say i feel warm, but I'm freeezing, (with no warm/hot flashes), just feeling drained...a bit of a headache too.

is this still part of w/d or am I getting sick?

thanks

People often get sick alot after detox..detox takes alot out of us physically//and hence affects out immune system...so we catch every bug flying by...supps like EmergenC and staying well hydrated can help this

the fatigue thing is what was hardest for me..and it hung on for a few months...no motivation...my physical wds were easy//flu like with the runs for 3-4 days...but this part almost did me in...exercise helped me thru this..and the thomas recipe
hang tight

Hi. I'm also on day 9 from C/T oxy and vic and feel alot of the same symtoms.I was talking to a few people in my NA Class that had just gone thru the same Withdraws.
They said in took them 2-3 weeks before they physically felt normal. I'm sure each  person is different. Be patient with yourself and remember how long it took us to get into this Mess. l.o.l
God Bless

NorcoQueen...you know, its the addict in me who needed about a coworker having percs...but it really isn't any of my concern (is it?) and to be honest, after I put that thought out there into cyberspace, I no longer cared...no longer obsessed about it.

I muddled thru the rest of the day...came home and am chillin out for the evening. I do need to redo my nails though...that will certainly keep me busy for a bit. I tend to get OCD with them....they're natural nails....but I like to buff and shape and polish and all that. LOL...i'm such a girlie about my nails. hee hee

Thanks All for the words of encouragement...and gnarly...i'll look into that b-complex...i remember a thousand years ago I worked two jobs...5am to 1pm and then 4 to midnight...i used to take beeswax in my coffee in the morning... oh how I wish I would've never found drugs....tsk tsk

BTW i also got mind bending headaches also..mostly will tapering and early on but
I did have one the other night....I thought it was just a methadone thing...I guess not
and this to shall pass with time...im told...Gnarly

hey girlee great job with 9 days clean...in the begining it can be ruff...I still had the hot and cold thing going on 9 days later but it does pass I got 25 days today and all is not perfict but overall its much better then at 9 days...just hang in there your thew the worst of it....as for the energy I FINLY found something that helps out emencely ...it
liquid B-complex ..you can get it at walmart for 6 bucks  you just take a droper full
in the morning...and you dont feel the energy crash nearly as bad in the afternoon
I hope it helps you ..it worked for me..good luck and god bless...Gnarly

Honey hang in there..

You've got me worried with your comment about having a friend at work that has Percs???  Why do you NEED to know that!?!?  
I'm gonna be tough on you... ONLY because I care!

Keep yourself as busy as you can... (I know you're not feeling well) and REMEMBER how GOOD you're doing...DON'T step backwards!

Thanks Sara...

i did take my aminos and my vitamins...and some tylenol. having hot tea and bottled water all day today.

got lots to do here at work, so my mind is busy...i just can't wait to go home and get into some snuggly clothes and snuggle on my sofa with all the furry ones...including my man!

plus, i'm midcycle...major pms attitude today.

i'm sooo much fun to be around right now. lol

Take your aminos and get your mind busy.......You are doing so good so keep it going.

[desperatetostop]

oh...and of course, because I'm not feeling well...I really want a vicodin...it makes the pain go away....NOT. lol. I suspect there is someone in my office with percs...but she knows what I am doing and will not offer them...which is good...but it drives me crazy even just thinking she might have some.

just needed to get thost thoughts out of my head....

With all the flu going around you are probably coming down with something.  Drink plenty of fluids and rest.         sara
