Just stepping in to add my support Jo *hug*
I'm only on day 5 here myself, but with just those 5 days alone behind me, and I can say to you: even every hour will feel better than the last. Take it slow, and if you can get your hands on some, I recommend drinking some Sleepy Time tea while watching TV or reading. It might not help at all on the herbal level, but drinking something like that has proven to have a good placebo effect on me in the past.
Best of luck, and I hope to see you posting again
