Not sure why but can't post on my other post? Feeling ok this morning? Got son out the door for school and then collapsed back onto sofa. Have decided to start timing these waves to see if they are actually coming less? Not sure b/c yesterday they felt like they were coming every 5 minutes. I thought yesterday would never end. Thank you to everyone who helped me yesterday...I thought I was dying!

I've been following your posts and want to encourage you to stay strong!!  I will be in your shoes b/4 long and in a sick way am looking forward to it--I'm just so tired of the numbness of being on subs--keep posting, so many people here care so much about you!

I did manage another cup of broth this morning but its still going right through me. Maybe that was too graphic but I don't know what else to do. Mornings seem better but the crappy feeling is still there and starting to feel guilty b/c my husband is out in "our" business running it alone! I should be there with him!

Hi. Watching an old DVD, something you've always liked can keep your mind off the waves. I have a romantic comedy called Vicki Christina Barcelona. It's written & directed by Woody Allen. The live shots of Spain are so beautiful it transports me out of my current condition. I'm bipolar & a little OCD, so that's why I suggested something familiar,that you've already seen. Believe it, I was
watching that movie every morning. Sometimes before bed too.  Pamela

I am soooo glad to hear you are doing better.  I know what you mean about those damn waves.  They do come less and less and will disappear.
At least you know now that they pass at least for a little while.
Are you managing to keep anything down today?

I know its tough and the weakness at times feels unbearable but it sounds lime you're doing all the right things. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and do what you can when you can. And keep reaching out for positive support! That can definitely make a difference! Keep up the good work.

That actually does sound like a good idea because I do know that I'm very lucky to know my house is still going because everyone here knows what I'm trying to do! Still feel somewhat crappy but I seem to have 2 to 3 waves (as I like to call them) an hour. Not really found of these and again, my thoughts are really crazy, likevthinking about things from a long time ago! Today is day 7 and I'm here. That will just have to be good enough for now. Again, thank u b/c without ya'll I would have broken yesterday. Thanks.

I haven't eaten anything really in nearly a month. Although I am only 2 weeks clean, we were withdrawing about a week before rehab and did suboxone for 6 days while in. My point, I drink Gatorade non-stop. It is the only thing that I can drink without feeling sick.

I can honestly say it does get better. I feel much better today at 14 than I did at 7. Staying positive is always helpful. Have you heard of a gratitude list before? That has helped me tremendously. When I feel like complete crap, I start writing everything I do have to be thankful for. Just a thought.

Great job on your week clean! I am so glad to hear you are feeling better today. Thank goodness, you really had us worried last night. Hang in there and keep fighting. Things will get better as long as you don't use. Here's to hoping you are on the upswing of this thing physically and it's all better from here!
