okay, so i took tylenol PM last night, first thing in the morning, no shocks. my daughter was sick a month ago, and so i have benadryl strips of 12.5mg and will try those throughout the day. yes, they make you a little groggy, but if that's the price to pay to get rid of the shocks, i'll live with it. i work from home typing, i have to be able to type to get my work done and if the shocks are stopping me because of how much they hurt, then the benadryl is the small price i'll pay.
i have a list of the other vitamins to add to my regimine, but will hold off on those until i see how the benadryl works.
and get the cal-mag! it's calcium and magnesium in a citric base powder, when you add a little water to dissolve it fizzes like alka-seltzer. then you add enough water or juice to make 8 oz. these are minerals that your body needs. i had 2 glasses of it yesterday, and my body doesn't hurt as bad today. it can be a bit nasty to drink, but they have flavors now which mask the taste, but it's so worth it!!
oh, someone said something about losing electrolytes. i'm stopping at the store today to get something like pedialite to help with that! not sure what else would have the electrolytes for sure.
i'm SO glad i found this board! my daughters are 14.5 and 16, and they're wondering if i've completely lost my mind. i explained all the withdrawal stuff to them yesterday, and hopefully it will make me more accountable for my responses to them, and their outbursts to me overall.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. i will keep you posted.
