Thank you both of you ❤️

We're for you, stay strong, you got it 🩷

Have to say this episode is quite brutal ,was just wondering to myself how much can the body sustain this ..shaking legs tight chest pressure head cheeks burning dry mouth and feeling like im about to burst or go mad 😠

Just remind me ...this torture is normal, right 🤔🙄

Yes, @Beehive, it is normal, I am in the same Hell, chest pressure, leg aches, awful anhedonia, cortisol/adrenaline rushes... Agony, torture

@skamen I have read some of your posts and see the agony you are in. I think all of us on here are wishing you better days ,I feel for you and also believe you will get that break ,it will happen for you .you are an amazingly strong person 🤗

Managed to cook dinner for my husband and youngest son who was visiting ,still felt the same as this morning only just now is it starting to subside . Its been a long one and it's been horrific but at the end of the day it does lift and we must all remember that when we are in the throes as bad as it is you will come out of it, it's not permanent!

I love that and it's so true . Chicken and a little bit of respite at night is always a relief.

Just having a thought on this as it may apply to some people and I think it may apply to me in withdrawal.  I had a couple of rough days ,shaking fast heart rate headache which is similar to hypoglycemia.  Mentioned this before when someone said about intermittent fasting . For those two days I was rough I wasn't eating properly, but yesterday after a large dinner I started to feel ok actually very good slept well and am having a good morning.  I will experiment and try and out 3 meals a day at regular times and see if it makes a difference.  I do believe blood sugar can be highly affected by those of us in withdrawal..as I say it won't apply to everyone

I would love to hear how it goes! interesting topic eating during this process, it can be very challenging.

I personally don't believe in fasting and eat 2 to 4 meals regularly with lots of fruits and vegetables in between, but during tough wave it's hard to even think about food which I'm sure have an impact, I've lost 5 kilos so far, maybe a blessing for some but not for me, i just need solid long window to put all of that back.. it will come.

Hi @Fullhealing thanks for popping by . Yes when the wave stops you from wanting to eat I understand fully ,but what if not eating correctly induces a wave by allowing blood sugar to go low ..as you say interesting 

Hey @Beehive how are you holding? Thinking of you.

@Fullhealing Hi thanks for popping in ,not doing too badly seem to have a pattern of a goodish day followed by a not so good but I can't complain compared to others sufferings . My main sympton now is still chest tightness which somehow is still triggering me ..Hope you are doing ok 🙏

Yes I might just be in a window but I don't care I thought I was stuck thought I would stay like that forever but I haven't yesterday I felt the best ever and this will happen for you as well .Keep marching forward and believe!!!!

Lovely to hear and enjoy the good days for sure @Beehive

I'm very lucky as I've had some good days and felt great in those times literally back to normal ...but these mornings can be so cruel so convincing that this is how it is the thoughts going to work on you the body responding with fear ...very tough when you know how you can be !

I could've written this myself . I sometimes thinks it's harder when you feel back to normal and then in a waves it feels worse as your comparing it to being NORMAL 

@cheeky Its hard you know this is the routine bad mornings and better later on ,but you still have to get through it and it's something about the mornings as most of my phone a friend 😁 are still in bed so it feels even lonelier, for me the fear grips me and you can't see a way out ..how are you doing at the moment...its Evening where you are I believe

Yes it's super tough when it flip suddenly and changes our whole perspective of things.

Glad you had a few good days in a row though, that's a really encouraging sign.

Hope this wave passes quickly for you! 🙏

Thanks as you say its the whole perspective thing ...in these times I can see healing for everyone else but not me !! Go figure !
