I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words the other day about me going CT. I am now pill free since Friday morning and finally feeling a little better. I am still really fatigued and achy, but the nausousnous (sp?) is a little better. I spoke with my OB nurse today and she called in a script for phenegran. I only needed one today and now feel much better with my stomach, I definitly think that was a result of catching my daughters stomach flu right in the middle of me going CT and not the detox at all. As for the emotional aspect of withdrawel- amazingly I have very little thoughts of going back. I guess this miracle of a 3rd child especially after losing my last child to SIDS and being in my late 30's having to do IVF now just makes it enough motivation. I even had my husband pull out the treadmill that has been collecting dust for years so I can actually start moving again,
This is interesting though- when I posted my first post I said I had been using for about 6 to 8 months (or something like that). After really thinking about it I realized I have been like this ever since my daughter died in Nov. 2004. It is crazy how are mind can fool us in to beliving that things are not as bad as they are.
Anyway- I just wanted to update and thank you.
Cheryl
I'm so happy you're feeling better.
I can't imagine losing a baby. God give you strength to make the right choices for your children and yourself.
You'll be able to look your new little baby in the eyes and know that what you're feeling is pure.
I'll be thinking of you...(while I can't sleep myself!)
love to you.......

Wow. You are doing great...........You are definitly on the downhill now when it comes to the physical symptoms. I always seemed to begin to slowly feel better each day after day 3, and slowly your sleep will return as well.
Beware though of the mind games your brain will start playing with you, once you start to feel better. I remember every time I got clean and started to get better ,I would somehow rationalize in my mind that I could control my use and just take a few. DONT DO IT. Just take a few minutes and I promise you the cravings will pass. You and your baby are so worth this.
I am no expert at this, Just giving you my opinion, I have been clean and relapsed many times. But, I am still trying.
HUgs, and Congrats on the new little one.
