Day 4 Hell night
Day 4 today...
Last night was pure hell guys! I was throwing up and dry heaving at midnight, slept maybe 3 hours despite forcing myself to try and sleep. Not sure why either. Past experience tells me every night gets better - not worse. Of course now my anxiety is going through the roof!!!!!!!!!!
I have an appointment with my Doctor at 1:00 today.
I gone through W/D before but this time is the worse it's ever been. Perhaps that's a good thing to teach me a lesson?

(((Ivan))) - I do think each time we go back out, it's harder. I also look at that as a good thing. I'm not so sure I have another recovery in me. I hope you're feeling better today and am glad you're going to see your dr.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Just got back from Docs office. When I got there I spilled the beans on everything to my doctor. THen I had a massive panic attack right then and then and blacked out for about 30 seconds. THey gave me a shot right there. My blood pressure was 185/145 and my heart beat was nearly 115 bpm...
It freaked out my doctor and the nurse for sure... My wife drove me home and I'm here resting now. Doc prescribed a couple of meds that will hopefully help. Anti anxiety and something to sleep - or rather knock me the hell out. Since I'm 6'4 and 250, it takes a little more for me.
I'm resting somewhat comfortable now and my anxiety is about half of what it was 3 hours ago. I'm sure that if I get a good night sleep, it'll be much better tomorrow. I just need 8-10 hour to catch up....

no more scripts for me. All my docs know I have no capacity to control my meds... that's a good thing. Just really surprized I had an anxiety freak out atthe docs office. Doc was nice enough to tell my wife it was due to exaustion. Of course, I was exhausted... 8 hours of sleep in 4 days?

Ivan, Good job hanging in there with all the pains you are experiencing, 100 % thumbs up 
Just be careful with them anti-anxiety drugs, they can have some serious side effects and are habit forming. I speak from experience, having taken that stuff as a child it really messed up my life and probably open the doors to drinking for me. They prescribed them to me a few months ago as i was going through some hard times, i have not opened the bottles yet and have no intention on doing so. There are alternatives to anti-anxiety drugs to consider. That is my personal experience and i know work differently for all of us, what counts is that it works out for you in a safe and healthy way.
Stay strong as you have done so far and beat this thing, you are doing great.
Boing boing
Day 2 for me and the headaches are pounding
