Hi Fedup38,
9 days ago I was exactly where you are.  I am already feeling better, a little more every day.  I am glad you got some sleep.  Not sleeping makes everything worse.  I ended up getting a sleeping pill from my doctor because nothing else was working for me.  I did take xanax a couple of days in the beginning, but stopped that because I did a search on the how addictive & dangerous the w/d's are from that. I am being alot more careful these days with what pills I take.  You are doing great!  Keep praying & posting:)

Hey Fedup, it will get better. I'm on day 7 and feel like it's a miracle. I drank A TON of Gatorade and really feel like it helped. I also too melatonin which helped me sleep.
Hang in there!

you can get melatoin and valarian root at walgreens or walmart for a few bucks its cheep if you use the melatoin the room has to be dark no lights at all or it wont work the combo of the 2 is a good one give it a try xaxex will work but I would lnoy use it as a last resort it is highly additive........Gnarly

Can you start with melatonin first? Maybe some valeriam root too. Also some hot tea and a warm blanket to take to bed with you. Of course if all else fails try the xanex short term. Good luck!

force the fluids ......and a hot soak will do the most good work on keeping a positive attitude that will make the difference between being uncomfortable or suffering try to kech sleep when you can and dont get discouraged when you dont this is only temporary in about a week you will be feeling a lot better and you wont be chained to a pill bottle any more hang in there post often good luck and God bless........Gnarly
