I *have* to celebrate!
 

Last night was a completely pain free night! I don't know what I did, if I did indeed do anything that helped reach this state...but this is the first pain free night I've had in probably a month or more. And no twitching!!! Or whatever that is I have. It's like I *have* to clench the muscles when whatever it is begins bothering me. And I had none of that.

It's been two weeks without Effexor. That may be part of it as well.

Well, whatever it is I enjoyed it as much as I was able to as I was falling asleep. :D

Good For You~!!!!!~~!!!!
 

:hug: :hug: :hug: ISN'T THAT GREAT to have a restful night's sleep?

I'm so happy for you! It makes you wake up so happy and ready for a great day!

Go get em! (But don't over do it or you will regret it tonight)

I am so happy and amused that you didn't have the blues. You
been off the dope for two weeks,and last night my friend you
were free of the :eek: i am so very happy for you...:hug: Sue

Now since our PNers are mostly here i wish to say i'm very happy
toooo you all said Visualize,Meditate,and Chant a look see but can't
beee well it worked. I was told i would have to put todays appointment
off at the Cancer Hospital. I got a little nervous and didn't sleep. Dear
Dr. Doll made it back from Peru,got a call at 4.00 and asked if i could
run over. What were they thinking (run) but i did and you were right
my friends there was no LYMPHOMA. I turned around to hug a nurse
and got a Dr. He was Dr. Best,he looked familiar,and then i remembered
he was a friend of my oldest son,i haven't seen him for yrs. He walked me
outside i was on my walker. He's 48 and i am 60 and we are going on
a date this Sat. Imagine you all told me to chant and he,he i got a Dr.
I got to go shopping and not have a panic attack,and tell oh no my
son's and daughter,later. So J you had a good night and i had a good
day :D :D you and i have Chrisma. :hug: :hug: all Sue All have a good
night Whew!!!

So happy for you!!!!

Excellent news, wishing you many more to come.:)

You know
 

I was on that Efffector sp for a short time,did it give you a headacke.
and i think it made you jumpy. You know sometimes i wonder if it's
the PN or some of the med's. I just hope you have more sleepy nights
and good one's,bless your heart. Sue I was wondering if your daughter
has noticed a difference.

This is the funny part...
 

...and it really *is* funny. I didn't sleep all that well last night cause I kept waiting for my feet to burn, my toes to tingle...something! And when they didn't every so often I'd wiggle my toes or move my feet just to make sure. I finally got into a good sleep just before 5:00 AM. :D

I wish for everyone to have a night like I had. And hope to have again tonight. Every moment that's pain free is such a blessing. I know we hear this often but it's something, at least to me, that can't be said enough. It makes all the other nights seem not quite so terrible. :grouphug:

I honestly believe Effexor may have contributed to my symptoms. The PN pain first started when I was on Celexa. Eased back off when I came off the Celexa and started up again about a year after I began the Effexor. For sure the RLS type symptoms seemed to be caused by SSRI's for me. Meds have so many sides. Most of them the makers are not even aware of let alone the doctors. They're all so quick to say, "Oh it couldn't be *that*. That's not a known side effect!" Bingo! Not known until someone has it.

I've decided to get rid of all the prescriptions meds I can. They certainly didn't help much overall. In fact some of them caused more problems than they were given to treat in the first place! Just not worth some of the sides I've seen.
