body weakness, how long?

Hey guys, I'm at 4 days without hydrocodone and I'm still struggling with my body becoming weak. It's hard for me to walk around a store. How long does that last? Is there anything I can do to help? I've been walking every morning, trying to stay active. It's been raining here today so I went to the museum and it was so hard to walk through, I felt like I was dragging my body. I've been taking b vitamins and they help but my body is so tired. Also, I'm always cold, is that normal at this stage still? Thanks.

Hey BlueJay, are you trying to do a bit too much?  Maybe it's your bodies way of telling you it needs to rest? Listen to your body, it's going through a tough time at the moment, so drink lots of lovely water, rest a bit more, and be very very kind to yourself, you're doing great honey!! Really proud of you.

Hugs.

Everything you are feeling is normal. Congrats on day 4 but for most it is one of the hardest days. Give yourself a break honey. Light exercise is good and hot baths with epsom salt as many as you can take. It will help to ease the muscles. Hang in there and keep going forward. Whatever you do just don't use!
