Day 2 gotta get thru you.

[Pat1956100]

It's so hard when you feel so sick and all you want to do is sleep but you can't.  Usually when you are sick you can sleep.  Even with a hangover you can sleep.  There is no break from this misery.  Percocets are evil.  They may look white and pure but they are from the devil.  They should be black with red x's on them.  Just sayin........

[Sonrissa]

Wow Pat, I just read through this old post. It brings back memories of the people who are no longer on this site. I miss them!  I wonder where I was at this time? Was I even here yet? LOL.

I hope you are well!

[Pat1956100]

Hey dillon, this is a really old thread.  Do you have a question or were you just commenting?  If you do, scroll up to the top of the page and click on Post a question and start your own thread.  It will get noticed and you will receive support.

I can't believe how old this thread is.  This was my first attempt at getting clean and I so wish I had stuck with it.  I would have two and a half years clean.  I sure received a ton of support here and wonder what happened to many of the people.

Keep laughing.  I'm too busy yawning.  

[Pat1956100]

Aww, thanks so much.  I am doing okay and it could be alot worse.  I have been doing alot of prayng these past 5 years (since my husband died) and know that I am being carried right now.
Time for me to take care of my body and try and repair lots and lots of things.

[steve1220]

all i know right now is i really really really like sleep !!!!! haaaaaa lack of sleep stevie's gettin a little silly i'm laughin at the stupid stuff i'm doin !!!

[gnarly_1]

HI Pat I just got up I work nights I just wanted to encourge you to push past the pain it will be worth it you may try praying it helped me get threw it sleep can be elusive you judt have to push on if you want to take im up good luck and God bless........Gnarly

[Pat1956100]

Yes, I am still staying strong.  So sorry about your sleep problem.  I don't know if I could handle it.  I have always had trouble getting to sleep but once I did I could sleep for hours.  I love my sleep.  This will definitely be a test.
I am just waiting for the sun to come up and the start of day 3.
I always like the sun now when I so used to be a night person.  I don't like the long, dark nights now.

[steve1220]

yea wished i were SLEEPING !!!!!! haaaaaaa it's12:51 here i'm feelin like a zombi !!!!hee hee.........you hangin in there ok?

[Pat1956100]

Thanks Steve.  I will.  It just seems to come in waves now so I know it will pass and I am really hoping the worst is over.
I was hoping you were sleeping but no such luck eh.
What time is is where you are it's 345 am here.

[steve1220]

sorry pat hang in there sweetie !!!

[Pat1956100]

Thanks and congrats on day 5.  It's not easy to do so be proud.
I am feeling crappy again so don't know what's going on.  I guess I just had a little reprieve.  

[fpvfembacktobreakfree]

ya doin great mate keep fighting its easy to say Im on day five no sleep n very sore try n stay positive mwah xoxox

[Pat1956100]

Hey Randy,
Glad you are feeling ok.  Keep it up.  I guess that's what I can say too, I am ok.
I have definitely been worse but know I am going to feel ALOT BETTER.  I think the worst part of this is the fear of wha'ts to come and it's never as bad as you imagine.  When you are at the worst point and think you can't take it anymore, it's almost over.
I made the mistake of taking 2 percs on day 3 when I began this battle and then I kept taking a half a perc every time I felt really bad.  All it did was prolong my misery.  I now have 2 days totally clean and no matter what this withdrawal throws at me I am not taking anything other than tylenol.

[ribs2k]

Hey Pat, I am glad you got some sleep and are feeling better. I feel ok but can't sleep. It would be awesome if you where through the worst of it.
Randy

[Pat1956100]

Well I almost hate to post this in case of jinxing myself but I am feeling so much better than earlier.  I know it's only the end of day 2 but I have been in withdrawals for 15 days so maybe the worst is over. MAYBE my day 1 and 2 were other people's day 3 and 4.  I know it was pretty bad.
I don't know but this is tolerable.  I still have no energy and just want to sleep but very happy with the 4 or 5 hours I did get.  I have been feeling okay for the past hour.  I took 2 tylenol extra strength and 1 benadryl when I woke up because I was still feeling bad and the shooting pains have stopped, sore throat gone, full head gone.  I sitll have a few waves of hot flashes and feel sick but nothing like earlier today.
Now I just am noticing how dirty my house is, thinking about how much money I owe and wondering if I still hava a job.
Time to turn the brain off until I can do something about it.
I will let you know what happens.  I am prepared for everything to start again but keep your fingers crossed.

[Bkitty]

Hi Pat,,Im just sending you some support. I know too,,how bad that sleep crap can be. There isnt anything I can say that hasnt already been said above. Im glad you got a few hours sleep. I know its hard to be patient. Hang in there ((hugs))~Bkitty

[Pat1956100]

I got a few hours sleep.  The benadryl seemed to work.  I will use it cautiously and when I am desperate for sleep.  I am still so tired and looking forward to this being over;  
almost the end of day 2 and I am glad I got a little sleep heading in to day 3

[Pat1956100]

Thanks and you are right. I have been way to focused on it and right now I am watching The Waltons.  It's on again in an hour so I will watch that one too.
I definitely need feel good stuff.

[wransomejr]

One thing I have been told that really helps is to try not to focus so hard on the unpleasant-ness. Our bodies need time to adjust. I had a hard time reading because of the creepy-crawlys (the restless everything syndrome) but watching cute or funny movies helped a lot. If you have Netflix find an old series or soap you like and watch consecutive episodes one after another. It is helpful for killing time. -Randy

[littlebit667]

Shoot I had horrible RLS and never took benedry!  I guess it could be an issue.  Don't worry too much.  Get some sleep and let us know how it is going.
