Hey Girl im happy to here your starting to come out of it just hang in there recovery is a lot like a rollercoaster it has its ups and downs just stick with it it will get better I promise bot give up 5 min b/4 the mirical keep a positive attitude and just know this is all part of the process keep posting for support...........Gnarly
Great post smalltownmom....I think your spot on about the part that we open places in or brains that the non addict never feels.....Gnarly
Hey there! Hang in there kiddo. It doesn't last long. I'm two months and I still feel it every so often but as they said above doesn't last but a day or two. Periods have their own issues and that could be why your feeling a little off. I know it has messed with me! I think we are so in tune to every little feeling our body makes, our mind makes it worse than it really is. We will always be sensitive because we opened places in our brain that the non addict never feels. If that makes any sense lol I hope you feel better today :)
Go get the things I suggested. Hit the Tub with that salt. Maybe get the salt with the lavender. Vit Bs & Cs plus are good right now to for the energy. Go look at those vit/min I said and read what they have to offer. They have immune ones and tons of Bs plus. Do not let it get you down. I know that this situation was my worst beside my Anxiety on the Moon. It does ease up and your energy will come back. They body aches will lift too, as you heal more.
Try to take some walks or get some kind of Exercise in. Get out in the Sun. Listen to Music. This all lifts up those happy Brain Chems that we have knocked down during our using. Re-directed your thinking as much as possible. Trust US, this will pass in Time..Hang on to that Patience's. I know it is SO hard but it is a must. If not, our lil ol pleasure part of that brain will play the tape back for more pills again. Don't listen to that Stink-en-Thinken!!
I will be Praying for you to turn a GOOD corner real soon..Just think..it will soon be behind you..Really it will!!! Hit some of those Meetings!!!
Bless

Hi tramtrap
I know how you feel and it ***** because you just dont know why you feel bad....again....and you wonder if it will ever get better....but listen to all the voices of experience here. ...they know more than us....and I am two months ahead of you...hit my 90 day today....and I will tell you it will get better....it is normal and it goes away....ups and downs...plus with your period ...well that can throw a huge kink in the whole thing cant it? hang in there and dont dwell on it too much....give yourself all the tlc you can...baths, treats are good but in the long run doing things and exercising are the most helpful i think....hard to do when you feel like pooh though,....

This is actually really common but just know it doesnt last very long. Focus on something positive today, you are clean and that is awesome!!!
Well!!
I am so sorry to hear this..BUT..at my 30days I was still sick. NOT like the FLU but the Anxiety was still there, however it had calmed down some and my Low-No Motivation came in. I got so Weak I could hardly walk from room to room.
It is hard for me to compare myself with others because first of all I did stupid drugs for a VERY long time and I was way older when I came clean. Plus I had c/t 3 drugs at once. The BIG thing I think of now, is that I had that Heart Issue that I was not aware of at the time. They told me I "most likely" had that small attack during my first few days of w/ds. I just do not know, but I seemed to have gone through STAGES for months and months.
Are you taking some good vit/min and eating Healthy? How about your fluid intake? I had picked up tons of vit/min from everything, for sleep, anxiety and energy and on & on. I spent some bucks on these things. NOW I see that the Airborne has some great immune lifters and so does Emergen-C. Mine was all Natural and Plant based or from a natural mineral mine. It does not matter right now, just get some of the E-C & Airborne from any market and add to water!!! Get that Protein powder and add some berries or fruit to it. YOU still need to build that immune system back up.
Also, remember that your pill was like coming off of 2, so it will take time for that Brain to find it's Balance. The Dr told me that mentally I could feel better but as the brain balance back it will send False Singles to your Body. This can make you ache, weak and feel so sore all over Etc. He called it Somatic Syndrome. I found it to be so TRUE! It all finally went away. How about your Aftercare?? The meetings are a great place to discuss how you feel. You will have ppl come up and talk to you about this and then you can calm down a bit. I know I talked about ALL my stages. I was so sacred and confused about how long it had been taking.
YOU have come to far to go back now!! Keep pushing you will get off that Surf board, that had been riding them Waves, real soon and be walking on that beach on the sand. Oh! How nice it will feel..lol

Physically I am fine. Mentally is a different story. Tomm marks 5 weeks clean of oxy. I don't know if it's my anxiety but lately I feel like everything is wrong. Weird random pains...is this common? Feel like I become a worry wart
Yes I have truly been clean. I also started my monthly today so it could be some of that. I'm mentally keeping a very positive attitude.
Hi.....well this is not uncommon ....recovery is a lot like riding a rollercoster it has it ups and downs detox is very cyclic you get ahead for a wile then bam your down with it again...jut know this the downs will get less and less the more time you get they also will not last long usually a few days then the good days start again you have been doing a great job so far just stick with your recovery progam you dident become a addict over night recover is the same it takes time keep posting for support where all here for you.........Gnarly
Hey Honey!
If it's truly been weeks clean now, what you're going through will be over by tomorrow. Ito used to get withdrawal flashbacks. They stink but don't last.
Hang in there!

Thanks spide. No it's definitely withdrawals. I have not been around anyone with the flu and can tell a difference. My feet ache and that's withdrawal. I will get in the bath tonight after work. However I really need people talking to me until 2pm west coast time to get me through the day. It distracts me and gives me hope. I pray this only lasts a few days
Hey girl, have you considered you may have a bug? I got sick do many times during my first year and a half without pills....never been sick so much in my life.
Can you take some time off? You've got to push through honey and dig deep into that bag of tricks. There's no magic "anything" ...it's all tude when it gets right down to it.
Pamper whenever you can.....you know the drill......keep posting...talking with us or someone in your reals world is key.....blah blah right?
Think of something fun that you've got coming up.....?
We're all here girl
