made it thru half the day yay

[ineedhelp29]

Wel its now lunch time on day 3 and symptoms seem a lil worse cant stop shivering and sweating at the same time...picked at a lil food mostly moved it around to i guess make it look like i ate but days halfway over one step closer to recovery i guess

[ariley13]

That's right! After today, you should be on the downhill slide out of the worst of this, at least the physical part. Hang in there and keep pushing forward. You are doing great!

[ineedhelp29]

I pray you are right this is enough to drive a half way sane person completely nuts

[takingmylifeback2014]

You are doing GREAT! Each day gets a little better! Then soon those physical feeling subside. Keep posting that is what helps me when I am feeling Meh ....
Keep up the GREAT Work!!  

[ineedhelp29]

Ty..posting on here seems to be the only thing that has kept me sane through these last few days lol

[Pat1956100]

I think that there should be a special medal for anyone who can work through Day 3.  You are doing so well.
Do you get some time off soon?  
Just keep picturing yourself in that hot tub tonight and make sure you are drinking lots and lots of fluids.  Gatorade really helped me.
I am sure your co-workers probably just think you are getting the flu.
You are doing great.

[ineedhelp29]

[Pat1956100]

You are a fighter, my friend and you WILL do this.  I am really impressed when people can work through detox.  
Keep fighting and posting.

[ROSYouralright]

You are doing G R E A T! In the thick of WD's and at work!!! Each day you will be feeling better than the last! It's weird but working and keeping busy will actually speed things along for you! DON'T GIVE UP!

[ineedhelp29]

[ROSYouralright]

This is true!!! Laying around makes it so much worse!!! Just get through today!! That's all you have to worry about... Today!!

You are going to make it!!
You have a fighting spirit and that can make all the difference in the world!

[oldaddict]

You are going to be surprised at how much better you feel this time tomorrow. Good job.

[OpenMind24hours]

Hot epsom salt baths will diffuse just about any problems you may encounter. When i went through detox just the relaxation from them really helped me out. It sure looks like you're well on your way to getting through this!

[Pat1956100]

Just checking in.  How are you doing?
The work day is almost over and that hot bath will be so nice.
Let us know how you're doing.

[ineedhelp29]

Hello friends i am not off of work and the symtoms are getting worse and more frequent and im praying that i am almost to the too of this steep jagged mountain i am attemptin to climb..i wanna thank all of you for careing enough to take your time and respond to me it means the world to me thatvi now have the support ive been praying for since i was 16 and my mom passed away and my dad told me i had to go (he couldbt handle raiseing a kid) and keep in might the year before i quit school to get a job because my mon was sick and in the hospital and he was hurt badly from a wreck to put food on the table and help with my baby brother..so i truly from the bottom of my heart thank all of you...
Pat i almost broke down to see you cared enough and thought i was off work or about to be off to ask about my well being which not one of my so called friends that know what im doin called not.once to see how in doin just continue to text to find out if i can get roxy are other pills...so i politely cursed a few of em out in one of the mood swings this sickness seems to put you through......but you would not believe how much this has helped and touch my heart so thank you:-)

[ineedhelp29]

Oops i mean i am off work lol

[ariley13]

Good for you for standing your ground with the 'friend'. I think your symptoms are peaking, which is a good thing. It means this is it. It will all be downhill from here. Usually day 3 or 4 is when this happens. I'm glad you are off work now and hope you can relax a little. Get that hot bath you've been dreaming of all day! ;)  Keep up the fight amigo, you are doing a great job!

[Pat1956100]

I agree with ariley.  Day 3 was the worst for me too.  Hang on tight.
It will pass.  Just when you think you can't take it any more you have to fight hard and know that it will pass.  Then it will seem to come in waves which will come less frequent and fade away.

Sweety so many people have helped me on this forum.  We have all been through it and we truly do care about each other.
Make sure you stick around.  You will have other symptoms to deal with later but don't worry about that now.  Just focus on today and getting through it clean.

Hugs
Pat

grats!  

i'm on day four, you can do it, please don't give up.

i've been eating great grains cereal to feed my body during all of this and drinking loads of almond milk which i can say has helped greatly with feeling nourished.  i can't do anything heavy on the stomach yet.

it's going to take longer than a few days for our brains/bodies to get back to semi normal .. wishing you all the best.

[ineedhelp29]

[West218]

I feel you sincerely I'm barely on my 26th hour and My God it's getting worse! I expected it but my nights are terrifying at the same time! I'm eating nothing but soups and Gatorade..watching a survivor man series in marathon knowing hes struggling also lol! It feels better when I keep soups in my stomach! Did I mention my nights are terrifying lol! Keep it up.. your helping others with a few days positive! Looking forward to your 72 hrs! Thanks :)

[ROSYouralright]

Fingers crossed that you get some sleep!! Its elusive for awhile and is usually the last thing to return so don't get discouraged if that happens:) Keep your mind busy in your down time.. Don't sit around and think about how your feeling.. Music was/is a God send for ne. I fought through cravings and stuff one song at a time :)
