thanks for the tips and yah i took a week off
You can do it! It would be a good idea to get some good movies and watch them to keep your mind occupied.
I just got home from work. As stated, today is day 7 for me. And I've got to tell you, I feel very good. Not "normal", i.e., flashes of anxiety, etc., but I enjoyed myself today. So, you've just about wrapped up the first day, day and a half. Stay on this site and you will get great help and support. The next few days may be bumpy (another word for hell), but you will do it. If you feel weak, post. We'll be here.
ok guys thank you so much, the only thing that is horribly bothering me right now is my legs, and one question do any of you know how much epsom salt i should put in my bath???? ps. ill keep you updated...
I don't know. I'm sure someone will respond to you soon. If not, start reading other posts - find those who have similar addictions. I know that Lulu and Vicki have been very helpful to me. I think somewhere Lulu talks about using epsom salts. Hopefully you've got the vitamins, Gatorade (or something similar), etc. All the info is on this site. Read. You'll find plenty of encouragement too.
Mickey: Are you alone? Is there anyone who knows what's going on with you? It's always a good plan to have at least one person aware, Okay?
Use about a cup of Epsom salts in a hot tub. Add a little more as you add hot water...soak as long as you can. It's amazing how much this will help you.
For your RLS: You need to eat bananas, drink orange juice and lots of water, take capsules of magnesium and potassium (follow label directions), and you can also buy a product called Hyland's Restfull Legs at Walmart. Be sure to keep drinking, it's very important here.
I'll be here for a few minutes if you have any questions...
