Withdrawal Pains??

For the last 3 weeks I have been on a muscle relaxant, Tizanidine(Zanaflex).

It helps my back and leg pain. The problem is that is makes me fall asleep during the day.

I don't really like taking anything stronger than aspirin, so Thursday night, I decided not to take it and just take asprin instead. I think I slept MAYBE a hour. I just couldn't get to sleep. Last night I was so cold in bed, my body was shaking. I got up and cranked the thermostat to 72 degrees and added another blanket and had two cups of hot apple cider!

Finally, I fell asleep. I got up today and thought that maybe I was coming down with an infection. (Wheelchair people are prone to bladder infections.)

Now I think it was withdrawals! I took a nap this afternoon, and feel fine now.

Flexeril is used more to relax after sprains and injuries.

Tizanidine is more of a nervous system relaxant than a muscle relaxant.

To the OP: you should probably ask your doc to lower your dosage, or even change meds if all you have is back and leg pains.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
