Almost half a Month Clean

its been about 2 weeks and my face is swollen every morning,  my who body just puffs up.. im not sure what to do, I dont have a doctor but also dont think its that serious, ive read that it does happen during w/d, i just dont remember if its been a symptom for me or not,  I know that after a month and a half clean my body is naturally buff and goes back that way, when i was using pills, i would get skinny.. Is this a transition thing?  day 12 mabe day 14 will be better.

Hi! I'm Bradley... Rosy started a nickname round here n they call me HULK now lol... but anyways I'm not on as much anymore but I just passed up 5 months clean from 75 mgs of methadone a day after shatter in my heels n ankles over 4 years ago... Only tell you that because I want you to know that any things possible and if you don't believe me go read my original post I've come quite a ways most around here say and s have you and you will continue to do so... Never look back because finding yourself again and learning to live is a very precious "high" in iitself, when it gets hard just remember it gets easier and that lives too short to live in a zombie like state... When people come to my funeral I want them to remember who I AM, not what the drugs made me and never ever forget that... I am here if u have questions or wanna talk message me or send me a note and I will get back to u... U got this buddy n us here at me help we got your back!  Sing it loud "I WONT BACK DOWN" "IM NOT AFRAID" lol... two of my "get me thru" jams...

Hey if you sleep with your head elevated on 2 pillows it will decrease the swelling when you wake up. Just a thought!

If you don't normally eat take out food, it's most likely all the sodium causing bloating and swelling.
Try to order healthier foods if you can, drink lots of water to flush out as much as you can and try n get all your good vitamins and minerals. Keep an eye on the swelling though. If it goes on too too long, you may want to get checked out.
You're doing great. Keep focused and goal oriented.
Stay strong!
You can do this...for good!
