Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dear , I had a couple who did privately. He has been off it for about 28 days. He has been to the Dr. getting blood tests which came back fine-just wanting to be safe. He is still pretty weak- been taking alot of natural things. He feels really bad like he will never get better-which we know he will. His biggest complaint is his ligaments feel funny and numbness and loss of strength or should I say weakness in his hands. He is a musician so this is hard. He used to shake so bad from the effexor I can't help think it has something to do with no longer shaking and that they are healing. He sure could use someone to talk to who has been there. So if anyone can give him encouragement -he sure needs it! : )C Creel wrote: Dear Colleen,You said:<<I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 ---Hi Colleen, I to feel alot of weakness in my muscles, am a musician to. It is tough and I get very scared about it. It is odd to feel muscles weak and achy. I trust totally in what and the others say, it will pass we just have to give it time, but it is hard, so hard because it seems like it is never going to end. I have been off cipromil for about 6 weeks now. And like you said about your son, my mind feels OK, but my body is really crying out right now. and Tuesday and this whole group have helped me so much, they give such emotional support and is a mountain of knowledge. My Mum finds it really hard, because she feel helpless to my suffering, but sometimes forme at least the thing that makes me happiest is to see my friends and family doing what they love. I guess it brings some normality. I let you into a secret , that I know I will never leave down!! Me and Mum have started reading Enid Blytons Famous Five out loud at night when things are bad, it is comforting. Also I find singing together really brightens me up and Mozart is great. Anyway I go on to much. Maybe I will get to speak to you or your son to, I am in constant contact with J on messenger, he is my guardian angel. Please give your son my love and just keep being there for him, it is all you can do and it is the most important thing you can do for him. Hugs are good even for guys!
