Hi all...just a question, didn't know where to post it..

have any of you experienced bad headaches early in recovery? I am on day 12 today and have had a horrible headache since Friday nothing seems to help. To boot, I have horrible insomnia since I quit (I know there's a forum for that, but not for general aches, and pains)...

Is this normal? I almost NEVER get headaches so this a new experience for me..I've been taking in coffee everyday (not to excess though) and chocolate when the cravings are strong..

Someone in a meeting yesterday suggested Benadryl to help with sleep but it didn't do a thing....I still was tossing and turning until about 3:30-4 A.M. I have on OTC sleep aid that I plan to try tonight for that.

As far as the headaches though? No idea...and I can't see a doctor, I have NO health insurance, or else I def. would..can't afford out of pocket..

Thanks in advance!!
