Weary- really?

Christ guys- I don't know how you all do it.  Im into my 17th day and everyday feels like I am sloggning through it.  I haven't really complained to much since it is to be expected but for crying out loud.  Pain and to feel like the energy has been permanently removed from my body is becoming a mind screw.  I can almost time it- 3 o clock rolls around and there is nothing left.  I am not going to do anything stupid, I have come to far, but will someone please, PLEASE, knock me over the head so I can sleep through the rest of this!!:)

Overeasy
muddling through day 17

Yes, I have been taking my vitamins and exercising:)

It does get better and it will take time-I am starting to feel the energy coming back now ( almost at 100 days) and actually feel like doing stuff and not getting wiped out after,except for the pain but thats another story lol. The energy will be back soon, I promise.

I have two kids too, and a husband that travels, many nights my kids had cereal for breakfast because i had no strength to cook them dinner!!!!! Pathetic, but never again will i allow myself for these demons to control my life.  Girl, we are in this fight together and we will be undefeated in this battle of DEMONS.....

Blessings,
Dane

I think part of the problem is I spent an entire day being followed by my husbands brain dead cousin.  Listening to his inane stories and for the love of God, I couldn't get away.  At one point he turns to me and asks- "How much is in a gallon of milk?"

Hey there, im only 9 days clean and i hear ya!!!!  I take Excedrine with caffeine around 3pm and it does help with the sluggishness.  I do lay down and try to cat nap but that really doesn't happen much due to the restless leg so if i can't lay down, i get up and get moving.  Tgiffany on here told me what to do and it worked....."Get in your car roll down your windows, blast your music and sing and act like a fool"   Sounds crazy right?  Well, it helped me allot!!! Best of luck to you and stay strong, it will only get better for us.....Dane
