I've been using the Arnica as well. Most of the bruising is gone now! But the inching has begun. I really really want to scratch, especially after I take off the binder/compression garment. How are you feeling?

Yes, your body went through a traumatic experience and endorphins and hormones surged. Now they're ebbing and you're a little sad. Totally normal occurrence. Glad that you are liking what you see!

I didn't have tummy aches as in nausea but I had gas pretty badly. I also would eat just a little and be full. Usually throughout the day I was fine but I started taking GasX before dinner and did better. Now I'm fine.
