Hello Resurrender,
First, Congratulations. I totally know what you mean when it all sets in at once. I'm 7 days into my CT off of Vicodin, and days 3-5 kicked my ass. Things that helped me were:
HOT Epsom Salt + Baking Soda baths (as hot as you can handle). The Salt and soda help to draw out the nasty toxins in your body.
A really good Multi Vitamin (one that has at least 100% RDA of Zinc, Phosphorus, Copper, Magnesium and Potassium (you may not find the potassium in the same supplement) plus a good B6 capsule.
And, yes, MASSAGE. Although, as my pain receptors are very repressed right now from the Vikes, the massage was painful. But helpful. Also, STRETCH!!!

Good luck, meg
