2 weeks

Ok well 13 days and 14 hours...but who's counting? Doing ok. Better than the first week. Still not sleeping much. Which as y'all know, kind of effects everything. Haven't really posted, well mostly because I didn't want to discourage any newbies. Lol. I'm a sickly girl to start with. I planned on not feeling human for at least a month.  Enjoying being home. With my best friends...bathtub and heating pad. Lol. I am also going to the Dr. Next week. To see where we go from here. Will keep pushing forward. Happy Friday y'all!

Marianne, you have a great memory! Yep. Round 2 for me. I'm fortunate that my attachment is physical, not emotional. I am a pancreas patient. First time around it was right after having a distal pancreatectomy and my spleen removed. This time was after one big long battle with pancreatitis that just wouldn't stay under control. So I was back on meds just over 4 months this go round.
Marycarmel, thanks for the lovely complement! I am past menopause. Had a complete hysterectomy about 10 years ago! Lol. Sleep has never been my friend. I figure I'll sleep eventually!

Hey I am day 3; I will gladly trade!  You are doing great!  I remember this name on here during one of several attempts to get clean!  Keep it up: as least we kinda know what we are in store for. Proud of you and you should be too.

I've had a lot of luck with Alteril for sleep (and also MidNite for Menopause but you're probably not at that age.)  Both are all natural and non-habit forming and WORK.  Nothing will probably help totally right now but any extra sleep you can get is a bonus.
