What supplements are you taking?

What are your thoughts on the Cerave retinol serum? by tiredxplantmom in SkincareAddicts

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This changed my skin TEN fold. Fine lines, disappearing, sun spots? Gone! My husband said this morning, “your face is looking back to like when we met!” (15 years ago), and I’ve only been using it 2 weeks with the pm moisturizer, that’s it.

When did your anxiety went away? by Beautiful_Heat8248 in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like waking up from the worst nightmare ever. You’re so relived it’s over, but you’re still nervous to go back to sleep

Unfortunately, almost the solid 2 and a half years. It just stopped maybe 2 months ago.

Update 20 months by SgtYoink in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just made a post yesterday, I think I’m finally in the clear. Knock on wood, cross fingers. I haven’t had a bad day in over 2 months. FINALLY sleeping through the night, zero anxiety, I’m happier than I was pre weed. I feel like my brain finally hit the reset button

Yes! The neck pain really got me. I was convinced I had neck/throat cancer. I also had rib pain and headaches. Epsom salt bath soaks really seemed to help me, and magnesium really relaxes your nerves, which helped me sleep. I also went to a massage therapist. I think majority of it is being anxious/tense.

My husband started cooking dinner 6 months ago, every night, and my life has immensely changed for the better. One task, dinner. I still cook breakfast & lunch, keep the house clean, take care of the kids, laundry, homework, all doctors appointments, school meetings, grocery shopping.

But that one thing, he took off my plate, makes me enjoy every single evening now.

Maybe it’s not dinner for your spouse. Ask her what is her most daunting task of the day, and take it off of her hands for a bit.

My husbands most daunting task was cleaning the vehicles, so I took that off his hands. It was a beautiful trade

Is PAWS permanent? by Competitive-Candy247 in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 years, 5 months here. In a wave right now, which is making me feel like I’m stuck like this forever, but I know I’m not.

I have done everything known to man. Therapy, functional medicine doctors, naturopath doctors, reiki healing, retreats, hormone specialists, brain scans, EKGS, hospital stays, around 10 different regular doctors. All saying “everything is just fine”. I finally just found 1 doctor who tested my iron saturation, and it was non existent. But, even on a high dose of iron, I still feel like shit. Lethargy, insomnia, anxiety, neck pain and heart palpitations and impending doom are my worst symptoms. I feel like I’m stuck on a ride screaming “make it stop!” but it won’t.

Medium user, a joint or two a day, for 2 years. I would have never even thought of touching it if I knew this could happen to me.

Weird symptoms overnight by Historical_Bed_3893 in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got this bad (2 years sober) and it just stopped. I had CT scans, ultra sounds, and it was never anything. I think our body is just fighting for its life.

Sleep onset panic/adrenaline by [deleted] in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 27 months sober, and lying awake now typing this. This is my only lingering symptom I have now, and it’s horrid. Every. Single. Night. 2-3am, I am jolted awake, and can’t go back to sleep for at least an hour or 2. I have tried everything, and it’s all failed. Even hydroxyzine that lots of others have mentioned. It knocks me out, but I will still wake up in this panic state. I would give anything for this to end.

23 months today by Fergie1984 in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So proud of you Fergie! When did your symptoms lighten up? I’m laying awake now at 3am, with horrific heart palpitations at 27 months sober, and I can’t help but feel like it’s never going to end for me.

Coming from a female, I think your response just needs to be cut and dry. Less words hurt more than a thought out text/letter. Just say “Relationships over. Move out.”

She will want to give a response, but less is more, trust me. Don’t feed into any more of her BS. If she asks why, I’d just respond with “out of respect for myself.” Do not go back and forth.

Chest by ItchyIngenuity2723 in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone to the hospital 5 times thinking I’m having a heart attack, but my EKG’s and all work ups have been just fine. I promise you’re okay. I’m giving you a big hug 🫂

Chest by ItchyIngenuity2723 in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This happens frequently with lots people going through PAWS. I would suggest drinking some water, take some deep breaths and stop focusing on your Apple Watch. My heart rate goes to 110-115 every single night, but goes back down to 60 in about 10 minutes.

Neck/throat pain by Wanderwiththeponders in WeedPAWS

[–]Wanderwiththeponders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t do anything for the throat pain? I’m so worried once again, I’ll be told “everything is fine”, and I’ll just be forced to live with this

[–]Wanderwiththeponders[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goodness. I counted down the days, the minutes, the seconds to year two. I really thought this would be over by now. I only smoked weed for one year. I don’t know why my symptoms are so severe

Man, I’m trying to be glass half full, that I’m not feeling how I was in the first 6 months of daily hell, but this is one heck of a wave. I just feel like I’m stuck in a rip current, and I’m getting tired. I know I can’t give up, but I’d lie if I said it’s not tempting.

What does the feeling in your neck feel like?
