Good job Jade....tapering takes some strength....you can do it!!!  Hot baths!  I SOOOO wish I'd had an electric blanket....I had the chills like a mofo....  I sobbed uncontrollably...I think ALL of us women do, and I'd bet many men too...it's tough, but so are you.  This too shall pass....

Are you taking vitamins? I was an emotional wreck for a few days, but zinc helps with that, and there is something over the counter for restless legs, but I have to dig through some posts to find it. I know its available at Walgreens, and is not addicting, and it is suppose to help a ton. I think its called Restful Legs or something close to that! Hang in there!!!
