Is this PAWS?

[Storme]

I am 69 days clean and as of yesterday I began feeling very odd. I have diarrhea, am incredibly weak/fatigued, feverish and restless. It is not as strong as it was when I had wd's but it is similar. I have not had an opiate at all in 69 days and do not plan on it. I am honestly hoping this is just the flu but I usually do not feel so jittery when I have the flu...Could this be PAWS? If it is, what can I do to alleviate this?

How are you this morning Storme?

I totally agree with them!  Sounds like flu.  I know it's scary to have ANYTHING that remotely resembles WDs though!!!  PAWS symptoms are more like depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, cravings....you know...the lingering junk.  It doesn't usually feel acute like that.

Probably a nasty stomach virus.  Just be sure and go see someone if you can't keep fluids in! : )

69 days is a long time and good job!!!  I agree with sarah and think it is the flu.  Just treat it like the flu,  hot baths, vitamins, hot tea and tylenol for aches and pains.  If things do not get better and if you are running a fever for more than 2 days please go see your family doctor.

Sounds more like the flu to me.  That stuff is going around here in my town right now.  Just make sure you rest and drink fluids(no milk products tho).  Hope you feel better soon.  sara

Congrats on 69 days!!!
