Hi guys

Just a quick update, got through the weekend ok, suprised to find, given the amount of NP I was taking and the amount of time that, so far at least I have no real cravings to take any.

Currently on Day 10 and beginning to get a bit of interest back in things.

However, I do have 2 issues I would love to get some advice on,

The restless legs are still pretty bad, have many other people experienced this and if so, how long did it last before easing off?

Also, sleep or complete lack thereof, even if the legs do feel comfortable, I am only managing about 2 -3 hours per day (usually during the day) and it is beginning to accumulate into exhaustion.

Supposedly strong sleeping tablets from the GP haven’t even touched me, so it is the same question I guess, at what point in the recovery cycle did people start to begin having better sleep patterns?.

But all in all I am happy with the way things have gone so far, I hope everyone else is winning their own individual battles,

Can I ask, is the WhatsApp group I have seen mentioned in some posts still  a thing?

Good luck all

Chris
