Amanda,

Imodiam is Very important because you will be getting really bad stomach issues.  I hated the restless legs. Walking does help although all you want to do is lay in bed and die.  I hope you can miss work tomorrow too because tomorrow and Saturday will probably be the worst of it.  I quit at Christmas because I was off work.  I woke up at 3 am last night and never went back to sleep.  I am going into work late because I am so tired.  I am a little depressed today too but this is all normal.  

If he can get you something for sleep too.  I have script for ambian and it has helped but even it doesnt help some nights so I got some sleepy time tea.  I never see many people recommending night time cold medicine but it helps too. Nothing with alcohol in it though.  I used Alkazelter Plus night time.  I have been sneezing and coughing which is normal so it helps this too.

Good idea; it will help. Hyland's works quite well and it's pretty safe; just follow label directions. Drink as much as you can...

Yes...you're really doing it!!  I hope you can handle having pills in the house and NOT taking them. They can really scream your name so be mindful of the head games to come,okay?

Be sure to eat,get comfy clothes on, hot showers and a lot of distraction!

Thanks for your concern. I wanted to post while everything was happening last night but I couldnt. Too much pain. I appreciate the heads up about the w/d!! I just feel like i'm really doing it and i cant turn back now. Day 11, good for you. It must feel great to know the worst is behind you.
