day 6 - it does get better!!!
 
I think the worse is over!!
The sweating and body temp problems come and go but are mostly gone - good riddance!!! I hated that portion if the WD.
My main problem right now is sleeping for more than a few hours and leg pain. It is fairly intense but advil and hot baths take the edge off.
I honestly didn't think I had the strength to go through this again. And I tried to find that magic solution that would make it all go away. Spent hours online reading everything i could find, Called my Dr and made an appt for a refill several times and cancelled, called around if to see if anyone could get me just a few oxy but then ignored them when they tried to call me back. I went to the er begging for relief and was sent home with nothing. I cried and screamed and paced.
I didn't die
I didn't use
And I'm okay!
Do I feel great? No
Do I feel horrible? No
I do feel like I'm trying to be more realistic about this journey.
I'm trying to be grateful for each second that I feel OK and just allow myself to feel bad when that hits.
It didn't start in a day and surely won't end in a day either.
But for now - at this moment, I feel ok. And I'm not going to look at anything more than that.
