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.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Yeah this needs to happen ASAP. I don’t care if the price is lower. These Vikings fans on Twitter are absolutely insufferable. Acting like they have been world beaters for the last 60 years and thinking Carolina should just hand him over for nothing. We’ve had 7 or so tough seasons in a row and we have still been to two superbowls since they have and won more playoff games since 1995.    I hope Dan sends him to Detroit for a 2040 7th rounder and eats half the contract. Even Sheena is replying to them.

      So did the Panthers initiate this by making him "available for the right price" or was this something Thielen himself pushed for? I also never saw this quote he made about JJ McCarthy back in June. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/panthers-adam-thielen-both-asked-182711572.html Thielen believes McCarthy is built for big moments and will eventually show the world the skillset that won the Michigan Wolverines a national championship in 2023/2024. He even said McCarthy could be the “face of the league.” “I have high expectations for him. I've been able to be around a little bit through some of the time last summer... back in Minnesota, and I think he has the ability to be one of the great quarterbacks this season and the face of this league at some point. You know, I think he's got every tool and intangible that you can have,” Thielen said. “Obviously, it's a difficult league and it's not gonna just be easy, but I think he has the ability to handle adversity to be able to be big in big moments, as you saw when he was in college. I think he's got a great support staff around him, whether it be the coaches or the trainers.” Sounds like he's had one foot out the door for some time now.
