when i posted the question i WAS referring to arthritis. i read that

you can get Arthritis-like symptoms. i was diagnosed the DJD in both

my knees 15 years ago. i have the blood tests and x-rays to prove it.

my question was sincere. i did not want or expect such a flippant

answer. i did not need to be told that it would go away in time.

REAL arthritis doesnt just go away.

so now will you answer my question? is there a pain reliever that is

better than any other for relieveing REAL arthitis pain.

** I don't know why you're offended, Pam. You didn't get a " flippant "

answer. You got the short answer of a person who has taken a break from the list

and still tries to stop by to answer some emails. The alternative is for me to

stick with my original intention of not responding at all.

I stand by my statement. Taking Paxil did not stop arthritis any more than

stopping Paxil caused arthritis.. Any increased pain you feel as a result of

stopping Paxil is due to cell inflammation and hormonal dysregulation and can be

treated instead of masked. It may feel like arthritis to you but it isn't.

If you are convinced that this is " REAL arthritis pain " or I am

misunderstanding something, then this question is not relevant to the purpose of

this group and should be directed elsewhere. If this is what you think then the

issue is not Paxil but arthritis.
