Thought of you today, I am now day 9 and wanted to reassure you that it does get better. My heart still races a bit and my stomach is still very gassy but other than that I am feeling way better than I was on day 6. On day 6 I though screw this it isn't worth it but now I feel it is. I still am moving slowly and not my normal energetic self but intend to persevere!! Hope you are okay
Smokey........Hey, and welcome to the board. Aren't you glad you didn't say scr** it on day 6? Day 9 is better, day 10 will be even better, and so on. By day 20, you may almost feel like your old self in many ways. Please don't give up. You are worth the hard part you're going through now. Good luck and please let us know if we can help.
Wonder what happened to Kimber!!

Thanks so much trideltmom!!!! I intend to keep coming on the board -VERY helpful. Yes day 9 is better than day 6 but is it normal to still not feel GREAT?? Sometimes I feel like I have been punched and I am also pretty weak and sometimes faint. At times I feel like passing out, a bit of reassurance as to my symptoms would be great.
Smokey, it takes a while to start feeling great but you should start feeling better and better little by little. Dont be discouraged by a bad day or two thrown in there now and then because they happen.
What your feeling now is totally normal, just keep on doing what your doing you'll get there.
hang in there

Smokey........it is very normal to not feel normal yet. LOL Though some came out of the fog sooner,it took me 3-4 weeks when i first quit. I felt better physically earlier than that, but had no energy and became depressed. I started on an AD around day 40, and it helped with my state of mind. THe energy thing took even more time.
As for feeling faint,,,,,I don't think I ever had that. Are you having alot of diahrea? Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and take vitamins.......B12 and amino acids (if you can find them).
What was your DOC? How much?

Hi Kimber, well glad to hear you are sticking with it. The aches and pains suck the panic is the worst. I am now day 10 and getting there. My back still hurts I guess just because but I am totally functioning. Just know that it will get better. The one thing I learned is that I will think everything is getting better and then I will have a bad day. Day 7 was good, day 8 was good but day 9 was just terrible but I never looked back. The bloating and gassiness is hard for me to deal with as silly as that sounds. I am also a recovering aneroxic (I am a mess heh!!!) so the bloating just makes me want to starve myself for days. I refuse to trade one disease for the other though.
Keep it up, you'll feel better soon
