Midways into day 3...OMG...the right legg!...Oh Boy!

[lost710]

Yep the runs have kicked fully in now, cant stay off toilet, have already had 2 hot, hot showers, now from about my waist down is so achy, and weak like.  My right legg in the calf area is aching pretty bad.  Now I had shoulder surgery 3 yrs ago, never totally recovered, but why is the bottom half of my body aching like crazy...way worst than my shoulder!...lol, how bout that action. I feel so weak on lower half of my body, cannot stand up too long.  Almost cant sit too long either.  Dear Lord, I pray to God, I dont get that RLS, like I had last time I quit.  I cannot take it!!!!!! I will definitely lose it, there is no relief for that at all.  I seriously remember that part is the worst!  So Im praying again.  Well I guess Im into the thick of the physical part now, hope it doesnt get to bad, please keep me in your prayers, Lord I gotta make through this process to the other side............

Hey there, thanks, but I totally remember, even after day three, that legg was still hangin doing its dance on me, Im serious that RLS lasted with me well over 2 wks I believe, I know I ended up at the doctors office, thats when I was prescribed gabapentin, which helped a little.  I truly went cold turkey when I quit last time.  I had never done anything like that in my entire life.  I honest to God thought I was going to die!! I have had 4 children, all natural births, and them *** withdrawals I went thru, were worst that any natural childbirth I had.  See with childbirth you knew what to expect, and knew that it would be ending soon,  them withdrawals are the total opposite.  I was having all kinda complications.  I almost went to emergency room at least 8-10 times.  I could not believe I was taking myself through that to quit.  But I did.  Now look at my crazy self, back at square one.  I am kinda ashamed, but I do understand addition, and I did learn alot through this forum last time about the process of withdrawal, and what these opiates do to your brain receptors, and seritonin levels, etc.  So I know what to expect, but that does not make this go away...ya know.  But Im gonna manage, through the grace of god.   Thankyou for your support.

I kept telling myself...Just get through day 3, it has got to be the worst. Drink a ton of fluids.
