I feel like hell. I feel so sick. I'm thinking this might not be such a good idea after all for me because I have a bad case of Arthritis and have been just few months off my drugs, which are also used for cancer patient, so pretty strong stuff. They are obviously still in my system because it can't be "normal" the way I am feeling. And I woke up at 4.15 pm, could just not open my eyes, I was in such pain and my Arthritis so bad. Literally I could not move my joints. I am totally at awe because I am an early riser, usually get up at 6 am. And my poor dogs did not know what was happening. I weight myself and have lost between 6 and 7 pounds since yesterday morning. I feel extremely week.
I have an appointment with my Rumathologist this Monday and am thinking I should get off the fast and see what he says about it for me. I feel like I am dying, very very dizzy.

This is not the "norm", right?

Hi Ladyjs. This will be my first time on the Master-Cleanse too.

In the past, I went on a 5 day fast and drank coffee, with milk and sugar. LOL. Not a good fast.

From what I read is that it is the first 4 days that are the hardest. It seems to be because we are withdrawing from toxic substances we normally put into our body. I am assuming that I will be getting headaches because I usually drink 2 cups of coffee every morning. I've read that cravings are supposed to be bad too.

However, I have fibromyalgia and want to do this fast for its natural healing effects its supposed to have.

I think the trick is to tough out the first four days. When the rough periods come we can try to tell ourselves that it will pass in 4 short days. Or 3 days and so on and so on. We must remember the benefits the fast will produce to help us endure the first uncomfortable days. Maybe write it on a piece of paper and stick it in your pocket and pull it out and read it every time it gets rough. We'll make it through!

Welcome. Lets support each other. I have to cook for my husband and he doesn't like me doing this so it is not easy. I will start tomorrow now. I'll post again Tuesday night.
