and dont get discouraged as everyone's idea of "hell" is different....be positive...do not be afraid...that is not the thing to be right now...only positive and excited about being clean...this "flu" shall pass.....many r sicker than this every day on a daily basis due to certain illnesses...You will survive and stay positive

actually, the sweating isn't much of a problem at night...it seems to go like clockwork, sweats during the day, but i can sit still....then the sweats subside at night...but i can't lay still enough to enjoy being warm. it's just weird...glad it's short term...hoping to go back to work soon.

11 days is great!   the clamminess..that is how i thought of it..was just periodic for me/worse at night...for me for quite a while i would have a short episode especially when i was stressed..i never had them constantly tho./.just off and on during the day/night..keep moving forward

I would think they would be over by now? Morphine is short acting and cleared your system long ago. How good for you......11 days. You kicked cancer and now you will kick this and start living again. I beat cancer too 7 years ago. Good luck

The sweats should be close to being over.  If you can, try getting some exercise.  That will speed your metabolism a bit and help with flushing out the last little bit.  Drink lots and lots and lots of water too.

Congrats on your 11 days.

Congrats on 11 days!!!!!! The cold sweats shouldnt last much longer.  That is very annoying as i remember those.  I would sit in the sun with a blanket and freeze.  Just keep going forward and know this will end.  You are doing great!!!  Stay strong      sara
