Hey congrat's !  Your doing the right thing.  Make sure you keep hydrated. Eat a lot of banana's they are high in potassium and should help with the muscle pain.  Try some Advil for the headaches. Hang in there and keep going. Get this over with, you have your whole life ahead of you. Keep reading and posting on this forum. You will need support because of cravings and the chance of relapse. Stay strong.
