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.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
