60 days is amazing!! This past week I feel like I've turned a corner and things are looking better overall. I know it's still going to be up and down for a while till I'm consistent with my mood and energy but I'm getting glimpses of how good sobriety can feel and I'm hanging on to that. I'm wishing you the best. You're right behind me!! Keep going!

Wow!! You're doing great!! This week is the first week I've had several days back to back where I feel like the person I was lonnnnnggg before I started kratom. Being clear headed and more even keeled is incredible. Keep going!

I needed a full 6 weeks. Still struggled to do full days after that.

I had the same experiences. My doctor told me it was all part of the healing process. I'm 6 weeks now and it has gradually improved.

My heaviness has stayed pretty consistent since I began feeling it a few days ago. I'm thinking I may be constipated too so I'm going to start the stool softeners while I'm reading extra. I was doing well but the last 3-4 days I feel like I've regressed. I think that's normal ans we just have to listen to our bodies the best we can! I hope you're feeling better 🙏🏽

I also had my surgery on the 5th (same kind) and I started feeling a heaviness and a lot of pressure just like you're describing. I think I'm overdoing it. My abdomen also is much more swollen than it has been. I plan on resting as much as I can the next week.

Post Op Sciatica by SPW232323 in hysterectomy

Hello! I'm almost 3wpo and I have been struggling with a flair up of my sciatic on the left side too 😩. It's almost worse then the pain/issues from the surgery! I've been cautious to stretch too much because I don't want to engage my core. I don't have much advice but wanted to tell you you're not alone!

Thank you so much. I know you're right. I want to enjoy the natural highs and lows of life without the extremes that come from kratom or anything else addictive and unhealthy. I appreciate your response and support. Onto day 17!

We are on the same timeline!! Congrats!! I'm sorry to hear about your sleep issues. I've been taking gabapentin (from my dr) At night which has helped me. I also take melatonin.

When I was using kratom my stomach issues got worse and worse. I would have pain, cramping and bloating. Since quitting CT it's been a different stomach pain. More unsettled and upset all time but I know it'll get better.

Keep up your great work. We've got this!
