Okay~where are all my cheerleaders at??? Im seriously thinking about heading out to the ole pharmacy in the morning because I got so much to do and Im tired of looking at it!!!! Okay, those were my immediate thoughts I know I would BLOW 5 days of hell. Ive got some esgic plus, which is basically a barb...ya know the butalbital crap, but I know thats gonna make me FEEL even more tired and sluggish, right? Yep, I already know that answer, but this feeling is so bad. I hate being non-productive...my house a mess, and things just not getting done. Lord how do I get thru this holy hell????

Ohhh do I know the feeling. Fatigue...fatigue...and lets throw on a little more fatigue, shall we. It sucks. But hang in there...PLEASE. It gets better. I wont lie and say it goes away overnight, but Iit does get better. About a week after I detoxed I was so tired I could not push the shopping cart at Wal-Mart. Now I can push them with ease

. Hang in there.

Okay~ so you come push the cart for me untill I feel like doing it...LoL~ya know Im "trying" to have at least a bit of humor here. God, Tim, why in the hell is this so hard. Im fairly an educated person and you would think this would be a "no-brainer"...but heck. **Sighs** maybe tomorrow will be better~ btw, how are you feeling? I hope your virus is gone. Keep in touch~you're an inspiration to a lot of us. Hey~ I'll address another thread here with you if you don't mind...so where's your email address? **smiles**

sincerely.....Oh my energy...what's that?!?!?!?!?! I 'feel your pain!" My house is a mess(but I really don't care too much!" It's not going anywhere...As long as I keep up the daily things and not let things get too outta control it will be ok!...if I focus on needing energy...well we all know the answer to that...so don't even go there! Thats why we are here in the 1st place....remember I said I took those 8 oxy's...let me tell you I was soooooo tired the next day...I took a 2 hour nap and was in bed by 8:30......its a vicious cycle...remember!!!! It is so nice to not be in a drug induced stupor! Energy will come....TIM PROMISES!!!!

HEY HEY now...You dont hold me to anything do you oakie

j/k.

I know from my own experience how bad I felt after detoxing...how tired I was. I did not feel like working or anything. I was one tired fella. But it slllooowwwlly got better. There are others on the board that had the same problem. I believe racing(who I have not heard from in a while), Phil, and others can also tell you that fatigue and feeling tired is common. The two biggest problems I had after getting clean...fatigue and horrible sleeping patterns. Not cravings. Not depression. SLEEP and FATIGUE. But now, at almost 2 1/2 months clean I can say that they are not major problems anymore.
