Hi Carla,
I'm at day 24 now and the last few days have brought me a few new sensations that I can only put down to withdrawal as there is nothing else that has changed recently.
If you can imagine having a mobile (cell) phone that's set to vibrate in your right shoe and having it go off every few seconds zzzzzzzt, zzzzzt, zzzzzzt, that's one of the newys, usually lasts about 4 hours first thing in the morning. The other that hit Friday, Saturday and Sunday was like someone had reached inside and was wringing out everything in the right hand side of my torso like a wet dishcloth. This was accompanied by the sensation of molten metal being poured in to my chest cavity. Very pleasant. Actually spent a good hour on the floor each day the pain was so bad. The rest of the day just felt like someone had punched a hole between my shoulder blades and ripped all my organs out through the hole. Apart from that I had a lovely weekend :-)
Happy to report that the last fews apart from the foot thing have been good. Sleeping much better now and feeling less emotionally wobbly.
A leap from 150 is a big thing so I imagine your body is going to make absolutely sure you know it's not happy and to never ever do that to it again.
Hang in there and take good care of yourself. I'll be thinking of you.
