What a great way of describing WD, GrandmaD! As for those vibrations, many many people experience the exact same. They used to be tortuous in my case, but, fortunately, they've improved.

gD -- You're doing a great job of remembering better that the drowning state is temporary. And that was a great way of figuring out how to access your experience and describe it to yourself and others!
I have definitely noticed that there is a feeling of a "din" inside me when I feel worse, and then things go suddenly quiet when I feel better. I've heard many others mention this.
I also feel crowded and cluttered inside when I feel worse, and like there's sudden space to move around when I feel better.
Our bodies produce electromagnetic energy. It's possible that there is a literal vibration or frequency change between the bad times and the better times.
Anyway, it was crystal clear what your experience was from the van analogies, so you've found a great way of communicating.

For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

This caravan thing is awesome, GrandmaD. Have you made any longer trips in it?

Re: MY SECOND YEAR OF TAPER
The good
Breathlessness returned, and I was worried it would go sky high again, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it stayed at about a mild level, only increasing when I walked or exercised. That is an improvement!
Headbanging for a couple of days, but not severe, just mild this time, so that too, is an improvement.
Overall, a big improvement in head vibes
Big improvement in scalp flashes
Head pressure was typical for the week.
This has come down from 7 days to days to 5 days a week, so it is improving, just very slowly.
The bad
First 2 days okay, then came a very sore head (even my hair hurt to touch or move) bad pressure head, finally resulting in a headache for 2 days. This is par for course, with 2 h/aches being my average per week lately.
One bad episode of head vibes going sky high in bed one night on day 6.
Big increase in palpitations.
The breathlessness has improved but I now notice the tight chest more, like a tightness around chest area.
Insomnia has returned to 2 nights in the week. 2 hrs to get to sleep and waking and not being able to get back to sleep.
A big increasin leg aching (adding to difficulty getting to sleep) and foot pain. A sharp shooting nerve pain in my ankle and prickles around ankle area.
The ugly
A return of my backache
Overall
A much better week than I expected!
If only I found out a long time ago! For 17 years I have had vibrations in my body! I had scans etc and they could find no nerve compression in discs/spine, etc and could not explain it! Little did I know it was the Aropax!Originally Posted by Luc
I also complained of tingling in my legs. Do others have that and is that also w/d. I still have that and was given Lyrica and another drug I have forgotten the name of.
My hubby was an electrician and I told him it was like electricity going thru me (at its worst, like a jack-hammer). I said it was like the circuit was broken and going haywire. It is good to know that this too is w/d and hope it will go away eventually.gD -- You're doing a great job of remembering better that the drowning state is temporary.

It is reassuring to hear you say you experience the "crowded brain" too. It is absolutely stunning, what this can do to your body.
Well, this is a first, remembering that the drowning is temporary. Something has changed in my head recently, because before, I would just drown in it and get very despondent and despairing. I am not getting to excited, in case those feelings return again!
I love the icon! In fact, at one place in Victoria there was a couple who looked older than us (in their late 60's) who were cycling around Australia! They were staying in a tiny little tent!This caravan thing is awesome, GrandmaD. Have you made any longer trips in it?
No, 2 months is our longest! I have a hubby who gets homesick very quickly. In 2010 we went to Queensland in the winter because it is too hot for us there in the summmer!
Have you done any travelling?
That’s great to hear that things are better than they were! I’m so sorry it’s still pretty damn hard.
So, can we talk about the head banging? I have felt like banging my head at times in w/d, so I can relate somewhat.
I’m wondering if there’s any way we can work with it to make it less potentially harmful to you – both physically and emotionally.
If you can’t stop doing it completely, maybe there’s something you could do to make it safer. My concern is that you already have a brain injury from the Aropax – like the rest of us. It’s even more important for us to protect our heads from further injury.

Yes! I think our electrical circuits *are* going haywire. This is a bit of a synchronicity, because I just interviewed a woman who heals with her hands, and she is also an electrical engineer, and she sees the nervous system and healing as very electrical, and she had some thoughts about it. I'll be writing it up on the blog within the next few days.
It's very, very good that you have reached this "first" of *remembering* that the drowning is temporary. This is an excellent sign in many ways. I feel this very strongly.
And, yes, in reply to your other post -- tingling in the legs is definitely a side effect or withdrawal effect of Paxil....there's that electricity again....
