We Quit Cigarettes

@webbysmeme , I concur with @CindyinSD in that hallucinations are a product from toxins but, there is also well established stuff 20+yrs old stuff on lack of sleep in excess of 48hrs and its a weird place to be mentally.

while in the Navy I worked 2nd shift about 1/2 a year then 3rd shift over a year then 2nd shift for ovr 1/2 year again before returning to human-ish hours and all the while i slept routinely 3hrs a day. 9AM-12 Noon. I can definitely agree with the "glitch in the Matrix" experiences.

As for hydration, there is an old & wise scale to keep in mind. The color of pee is the scale. The more straw-like/ near clear in color the hydration is at its best.... everything else is, well, not the best.

For my knee I have modified a morning drink into a variation the fluctuates....
Key ingredients:
fresh squeezed lemon
turmeric powder
honey
ground ginger
Hot water

sometimes i add or substitute in:
juices, apple, cranberry, orange, fruit juices from Knudsens etc.
ginger powder
black pepper
cayenne
paprika
maple syrup
gatoraide powder
super green powder(forgot the plant name, this stuff is massively deep green in color)

as for helping myself sleep. long time experimenting found this works best.
classical music station on just loud enough to hear it over my breathing while laying down, so that when i rustle or move its almost not clearly heard.
laying on floor with either a rolled towel of small pillow under neck.
chair for calves to lay on so hip to knee are at 90* angle
washcloth soaked in cold water, then wrung out for folded over and laying across eyes.***
IF I have a headache then that is hot water and wrung out the same for the eyes.

i usually have to plan for 15-30 minutes that way... sometimes(not all) I can squeak out a micro nap this way... The goal is comfy temp, so if its even remotely too cool or cold then I have a blanket under me and one across to keep my core temp "just right" not hot. Don't need distraction of reaching a sweat. That's working the body too hard in thew wrong direction too.
I am still sweating, itching till I go scream in the yard, it does'nt help the itching, but makes me feel better ,having chills, huge mood swings, mad at the world, and now I've been seeing shit that is not there! I'm glad I recognize what's going on, but it scared the hell out of me‼️All good advice. Thank you. I'm willing to try anything.

May want to relay that to a doctor

That just made me get goosebumps!

I've got to find a new doctor. I'll never go back to this one! When I get over the Meds part, I'm going to try my best to get this one in trouble! I'm sure she wasn't suppose to just take everything away at once. I feel like I should be in a place that could help me through this. But I don't want to cause my husband that kind of embarrassment . I hope and pray that the worst is over.
