At this point in time the more exercise you get the better you should feel. Definitely start out light as you might still be achy, but going for a walk was a step in the right direction. You may have to push through the achiness a bit, but then once you do it sort of goes away. It's like you have to break out of a shell in a manner of speaking.

Lol no I'm not awesome I'm just a dickhead who has done a lot of detoxes before!

Glad to be of service though.:)
 
Thanks Kittycat5 it's really nice to have all this support. I am fortunate to have great friends and family that always support me but they truly don't know what I'm going through right now. So it's really nice to hear how others have made it through and r enjoying life. Thx again
 
Hey Azure Cloud
I get what u mean addiction/dependent I hope u r right ! Thx for pointing that out I didn't really look at it that way. Night :)
 
Hi Carl Landrover
Thx for your post and I pushed myself to actually go out and do some errands today. It wasn't easy but it was nice to get out. Maybe I will sleep tonight due to my movement today.....but I'm guessing not. Uuugghhhh I am so tired. Thx again

I didn't like seeing how Mr. Owen described himself either, but it is not uncommon for those struggling with recovery to have a warped self perception. If he truly knew how much goodness and love and light he is putting out into the world, he'd probably be a cocky ba§tard anyways [j/k].
I hope you get some sleep sosick. Unfortunately the insomnia is just part of the process of your endorphin system resetting itself. Sex with your husband can help.

I'd say you're through most and the worst of it already! hang in there and you'll be through the physical symptoms! then all thats left is battling with yourself about the psychological stuff. If you really want to stop, then convince yourself that you can still have a good, enjoyable life without it!

good luck!

Are you feeling any better? Still feeling any WD symptoms?

Like Owen had mentioned earlier it's very important to focus on the improvements that you're making. Maybe you're not 100% yet, but if you are better than a week ago, and if you are better than a few days ago, focus on that and use it as motivation to keep going. I would think each day you would feel a little more normal. Maybe only slightly, but you should continue to see improvements.

Honestly I give you a lot of credit for going through the WDs like that after using for so long.
 
First congrats, it is very very impressive what you did. Just goes to show you how much one needs the right attitude. What did the docs say about the running, you are not allowed ever again because of the ti. cage ? May I ask what are the limits of exercising, did you seek any second opinions?

Joke or not it's a surprisingly accurate analysis=D One of things I've been working on over the last few years though.

Actually I assumed the original statement was an attempt to maintain modesty. But you are a cool guy and I don't like seeing cool people being insulted, even by their own accord.

Back on topic....How you doing today Sosick? I hope you are finding today easier than yesterday. You are inspiring in your strength and resolve!
 
Hey Azure Cloud n Omen and others morning of Day 13 !!! So happy each day is getting a little better I've been trying to do as much as possible the last couple days walks, mommy duties etc and each day I seem to push through aittle more although still not functioning any where close to 100% still night time is the worst happy if I get 4 hours broken up. Also I find when I finally give up on sleeping usually around 4am I am VERY weak it takes a hour or two before I can move around some. I've been taking just some Tylenol for the cold sweats that seem to still come n go. Usually when I'm talking face to face with someone they prob think what the hell is wrong with her!! It's so gross!! But I am so happy I pushed through with all your support I have really taken to heart all your advise and put it to work. I hope u guys r doing good plz remember how much your words encouraged me u r very amazing people to help out a total stranger that was only hanging on to a thread (literally lol) lots of love thx again
 
Sosick, that of awesome to read.
I certainly would not worry about what others may or may not be thinking when you talk to them. You know what you've been thru and what you've accomplished. This should be internalized as a source of great pride and accomplishment.

Considering that you are coming of medicine legitimately prescribed, and honestly probably needed for quality of life, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Because you are not a dirty junky, unlike me, if you need to explain the situation to someone, for whatever reason, you'll probably be met with awe and sympathy/empathy.

The sleep will come. When it does, you will feel amazing!

Keep on trucking girl!
 
Thanks Azure Cloud your right I guess I should just remember what I've been going through and not care what others think. But it is really gross ;) thank you for always checking in on me :)

Do you feel gross because you are sweaty and clammy, or due to how you feel inside your body?

I'm happy to check in on you. All of us that do this are paying forward the help we've received from others.
 
Nice to hear everything's still going well. As hard work as th mommy duties might be they can be good for the recovery process too. Even if you don't feel up to doing them being forced to means you're getting up and about and doing stuff which will get your metabolism on the go again after being sedantry. Will help tire you out to help you sleep better as well.

Perfectly normal to still be having sleep problems at this stage, the bad news is it might go on for a while yet. It can be a real bastard for some people. A sedative anti-histamine such as promethazine or diphenhydramine can help with that, as far as I know they're both available over the counter in the US.
 
Hey Azure Cloud
Sweaty and clammy on the outside it comes in waves I have been just taking Tylenol to help combat them. But honestly sometimes they r so bad I go change my clothes yuck !! Any ideas how long they might last ? Or better ideas to combat them? I have come to terms with the lack of sleep n rls for a bit. My biggest things now r extreme fatigue I do a bit but I still find myself sitting for a bit in-between everything I do, and these random cold clammy sweats. But I probably shouldn't complain considering the first 6 days I would only sit on the couch rocking and couldn't even swallow my own saliva it would make me vomit. Hey what's your view on pharmaceutical companies/ doctors pushing these opiates for moderate pain relief (don't get me wrong I do believe there is a place for them but no one should b on them for 10 plus yrs at my age) it took many good years from me n my family. You know just my oxy was $800 per month good thing we had coverage. Sorry I'm rambling I'm in a vehicle (not driving) killing time. Hope U r doing ok? Take care
 
Hey Omen
I just posted to Azure Cloud about the sweats n stuff any suggestions on that? I know I'm really trying to push through but I do fatigue easily. I also can get winded at same time. Do u think that is because of not using my lungs full capacity for so many years? Thx again how r u doing oh hey I saw your thread about your teeth did u get it all figured out? All I can tell u with all my experience with oxy is I would grind my teeth to SHIT at night so bad it was painful to even eat the next morning so I went to the dentist n had a mouth guard made. Still ground my teeth but at least I wasn't damaging them. Take care
 
Supposedly there is a blood pressure med that helps with the sweats. I can't remember the spelling, sounds like cholanidine or clondine or something. Someone always mentions it in almost every opiate withdrawal thread.....so chime in guys.

If I wasn't on my phone, I could look it up for ya.
