Day 5! I feel alive again! I woke up for the first time since starting this and didn't think about the pills. I actually feel alive again! I said that already didn't I? It's just so exciting. Hopefully, this means the detox depression is starting to lift, or at least I'm leaving that inbetween world of no feeling. I won't be able to post again today, because I have a full day at work and then hubby and I have a date tonight! He wants to take me out to congratulate me. What a gift from God he is to me.
Sara, another suggestion for sleep that I used that is not addictive and also helps with the restless legs or muscle cramps and twitches is a muscle relaxant called Flexeril. It is a prescription med, but it is very benign. I just luckily had some from a neck spasm I had before. If you don't want to tell your doc what it is really for, you could tell him something like that. I agree with Jam and Cal though, I wouldn't get started on the benzo's. I'm pretty lucky, the sleep thing is one part that isn't too bad for me.
Ice, I'm glad you had fun at Mardi Gras. You can just look at your 3 norcos as a taper, and now you are down to 0. How's that?
Oande, I'm sorry I didn't get to post to you last night, but hubby came home and I talked to him instead. I know it's hard with the kids, but it is really important to maintain your relationship with your husband also. When you have trouble getting pregnant, and then finally have kids, that can kind of get lost. But one day your kids will move out and hubby will still be there. My hubby is my best friend. Of course, I've known him since the fourth grade, and been with him since I was 17, so we have a long history, but I still wouldn't give up our relationship for anything. If he didn't feel support from me, I don't know that he'd be able to support me through this. By maintaining our relationship, we provide the best home for our kids. I don't mean to seem like I know everything, I just understand what you've been through. Hang in there!
To Jam and Cal, Thank you again for your amazing support! I know I wouldn't be here without you!
See you all tomorrow! Bridget
