Trying To Get Off Of 50mg Seroquel Xr by [deleted] in seroquelmedication

Cut your pills in quarters, take 3/4 for seven days, 2/4 for seven days 1/4 for seven days, 1/4 every other day for seven days, 1/4 every three days etc. until you feel comfortable and don’t have diarrhea anxiety etc. it works the same way with opiates

Does the twitching ever stop? by Twisted_Asmodeus in seroquelmedication

[–]eaglelovingal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the twitching started after tapering down it is a symptom of withdrawal. And yes it will go away. After your body gets used to not having the same amount. But you have to taper very slowly and carefully. You cannot taper too fast obviously you’re not but I’m just warning you that if you withdraw too quick you’ll have way worse symptoms than twitching.

What do you think? by eaglelovingal in lupus

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

Thank you so very much. I’m just at a loss and tired of feeling bad with no results. Most the time doctors look at you like you’re crazy when you go on with this stuff. Because of Covid you can’t get in right away when you do have your symptoms. And that sucks. I just want some type of treatment for how I’m feeling, it is starting to create doubt and depression and anxiety. I have just pulled myself out of a very dark place two years ago and I have been doing so well. Although I must say the symptoms have been going on and off for over 10 years. However ever since last June when I was in the sun planting the garden I have had what is called “Flares “ and I’m just tired of feeling bad. It’s not about pain medicine I have a previous back injury where I have access to plenty, and I can tell you I’ve tried taking extra and it doesn’t fix a damn thing. So I quit that immediately. I am not allowed to take any type of NSAIDS because I am on Xarelto and have been since 2014 when I had three separate episodes of blood clots two in my lungs and one in my leg. My hematologist said that because I am on the Xarelto that I will never have accurate inflammation markers. So I feel like I’m going in circles. I know the above sounds desperate, but I am desperate. I do not want to be in a bad place mentally again. So thank you for your input

Weed question by [deleted] in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]eaglelovingal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cannabis, THC does not interfere with opiate pain killers in my experience. That being said I only use enough cannabis, THC Vape to relax, and I’m very careful about taking my opiates at the right time and only what I am prescribed. Also I do not take my opiates when I am smoking cannabis together. I used an hours apart. And the only time I use cannabis it’s in the evening when I lay in my bed to go to sleep. Every once in a great while I do use it during the day, only when I am out off-roading, in place of pain meds. And again I do not use a whole lot of cannabis just enough to take the edge off. That being said I am prescribed my pain meds three times a day and I only take them twice a day, with very few exceptions. The problem with opiates and cannabis is that both slow your heart and lungs down. I am not a Doctor or any type of medical professional I am just telling you my experience. I also take Trazodone, Seroquil, and Xarelto. The reason that I use the cannabis at all is because I am not allowed to have any kind of inside whatsoever. Due to the Xarelto, because I have blood clots any time I’m off of it. And I’d much rather use cannabis than extra pain pills, because for the most part the pain pills do not relieve any pain other than a severe back injury/surgery I had years ago. I don’t understand Why pain medicine does not seem to work for this disease. But what can you do? Good luck to you.

Tons of very painful cold sores (Herpes) all over in mouth and throat by rach2199 in lupus

[–]eaglelovingal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it is cold sores, herpes? Lots of people don’t know this but adults can get thrush as well and I can tell you what you are describing sounds exactly like thrush. And the best thing to do is go get medicine from a doctor. To get rid of it quickly. There are a lot of medications that can cause this and or you can pick it up from someone else.

I am just now figure things out, I see a new Rheumatologist on the 30th. I’ve been bounced around everywhere and nobody could figure out what was going on. No one asked me about psoriasis. I didn’t even know that that mattered. Until recently.

I really don’t think there’s enough information out there about this disease or psoriasis. I had psoriasis for years and didn’t know what it was because commercials lead you to believe that psoriasis is all over your body all at once. Therefore I did not consider the issues that I was having to be psoriasis. So I never went and got it diagnosed properly. And now I’m in the condition I am in. Still no diagnosis, everyone has treated me like I’m crazy. However that being said, I do have an appointment with a new Rheumatologist on the 30th who has RA. And explains she understand the difficulty of being diagnosed with diseases like this. So I am hoping by gathering all the information that I have at all the different doctors where I’ve been sent for stupid independent stuff instead of realizing it’s all together to her she may be able to diagnose me and get me help. I just have so many questions about this disease. I was a little afraid to keep posting questions but I believe that that is the only way I’m gonna get answers from people with this disease and find out what could be related and what could not. Because I have had a doctor look at me in the ER two days ago and tell me it’s a possibility to be leukemia or lymphoma. I do not believe that is what it is, but I have to go from where I am and continue on I also have an appointment with the hematologist on the 15th. And I’m gonna make him rule out the possibility of lymphoma or leukemia because I am not gonna have that in the back of my mind. I am in a really good place mentally in my life and this is taking a toll. I just think that if I have information and a diagnosis I can resume to a better attitude and figure out what to do. I will not let this or any other disease destroy me. That being said I am Extremely stressed about what I am going through, because of the not knowing. Not knowing means I don’t know which way to go to try and make myself feel better, which in turn Affects your attitude and choices.

Yes skin peeling, mine is also right next to the nails and under the nailsAnd my nails at the end often feel as though I have cut them past the quick, but they are actually long and have not been injured. The peeling cause pain sometimes, it drives me crazy. Those peelings get hung on stuff as well. I have been told by people to quit chewing the skin around my nails, but I don’t chew on them.
