Yikes -- Pain in knee. Based on when I tapered from 100 to 50 mg six years ago, i was all so sure that I knew what kind of symptoms to expect with this taper --that I would have the same big two symptoms as before--anxiety and nausea. Well, these bones are 6 years older and this time the knee is going bananas. Only a tiny taper amount and I can barely walk.
I remember Luc you posted about endocrine system (I can't remember where I saw that) and inflammation during w/d, also you mentioned fluid retention. I saw your post about which to use--heat or cold on the inflammation. Any suggestions?
It's so fantastic to have you as a friend to consult because this is pretty scary. I was going down stairs and the shooting pain was so intense I had to sit down for some time. I found i could walk as long as I don't bend that knee.
I saw the other post about carrying on, and doing your best even under adversity; that's what I did today, I did my errands and just limped the whole way. I've noticed that several people have posted about when they feel so incapacitated by w/d, they try to look "normal." Today, feeling so handicapped got me thinking about how we're like animals who instinctively hide their injuries so as not to appear vulnerable --we people also don't want others to know we are injured.
