You should feel victorious! It may be horrible, but at least youre off of it! I still feel pretty crappy, too. I had to change a few things recenlty to help get better.
for the nausea: eat saltines, tonic water, 7up,toast, stay away from acidic things.
for the headaches: take advil/tylenol, but switch off each time.
for sleeping problems: Im taking sleeping pills, but you can take other stuff, like melatonin, benedryl, dramamine, etc. And take them early enough, too. Force yourself to get up early every day.
And walk a little bit, I certainly dont feel like walking, but I make myself. It helps.
I feel exactly the same. I NEVER want to go through this again. And this will pas, eventually. Of course I may HAVE to get back on meds, some people do. But Im at 25 days and doing okay. I feel very proud of myself. Corny, isnt it? As far as the advice o symptoms, these were suggestions from a nurse practioner. Keep it up!
