Day 18 *eye twitching*

[Chels44]

I slept for 5 hrs after staying up for what felt like 5 years. I don't think the trade off is equal.... Anyway, I read through my posts yesterday...sheesh...is there a delete button? I guess they want us to relive those memories - probably smart in the long run. I'm not entirely certain how I made it through yesterday but I did it. Thanks largely in the support I have gotten from you guys (thank you!). This site is truly a Godsend. I'm really happy I stumbled upon this. It's also nice to know that Im not the only one that didn't feel 'like new' after 7 days.  
I don't have a doctor currently. My last Dr. dropped me due to the new laws. Who knew "See you next month." meant 'don't ever come back'? Not I - that's for sure. However I do have a Dr.'s appt with someone new on Dec 18th and will ask for a sleep agent. I will try ScarrieAnnes suggestion (thank you) until then.
See you guys soon!
Best Wishes to All,
Chels

Sorry abt the typos. I wish they had an edit button on this thing....and add pics and emoticons. I know, not nearly as important but it would still add a cool touch!. Now Im rambling. Lol. Take care guys!

Sorry, I was reading about Pauly Shore. I don't even know how I got onto that. Oh the things you're mind wanders on at 4:30am! I know Im just whining but my Lord is this awful. I think I could sail right on through if it wasn't for this.
Thank you for the encouraging input. I really do value it.

CarrieAnne; that is some Solidering-on!I guess I should be thankful to get 5. We'll just have to keep each other company during twilight hrs. Lol Feel free to throw any supplements ideas at me. I've given up on western medicine. I'm exploring alot of hostolic medicine instead now. I've got to figure out other ways to deal with the pain as well. Baths only go so far.

Amanda; Thank you for the encouragement. I know ill make it through it, even kick and screaming. Lol, I really don't want to go back to counting meds. I hated that. So glad I don't have to do that anymore!!!

Cricket; Thank you. You can watch me like I did Krissy lol. I once said it was like watching the person in front of you when crossing a frozen lake but in the best sense of it. ;) I pray I get 6 hrs too! Oh how I hope!

Robin; Much appreciated. You're journey sounds alot like mine so it's nice to know there is a better side to this. Thank you for all your help now and even before.

That goes for everyone. @(--^---

I hope everyone has a beautiful day in their recovery!

Hey Chels, its just after 7pm fri night on my side of the world, but i just wanted to let you know, your doing really well and its great to see you writing about how your going : )
I feel for you guys who dont sleep in early recovery...i couldnt imagine...
But 5 hrs is not too bad considering : )
Well, you stay positive and keep it up, we are all very proud of you !!!
Take care.

Hey there! the sleep thing really *****, trust me I haven't slept more than 4-6 hours In 46 days, however sad it sounds, I am used to it now. I think (hope) it will get better soon, I also wish I could delete some of my earlier stuff, but in a way Im glad I documented almost every day so far, so that I NEVER go through this again. Withdrawal will never be a part of my life once this is over. Youre getting there, its still early, but youre doing great! Remember my new motto: it could be worse..you may not see that at the moment, but keep repeating it and you will. Keep us/me posted on your progress, I am a little further along, and may have some tips that will help, especially in the supplement department.I take an insane amount of vitamins and minerals, and herbal supplements, but they help repair your mind and body, in my opinion, faster. Take Care, stay positive! XOXO Carrie Anne
