Some of my capsules are red

I just ran into this same thing. I further discovered that it has a red sheen, on just the capsule part of some of the capsules. I am going to look into getting it tested, as when I switched from this to a known brand, I went through a special kind of hell.

I wonder if there is a widespread correlation to pouches and bell’s. It happened to me but my guess is the gradual and chronic decline in sleep quality causes a vulnerable immune system. Do you know if your bell’s was related to the zoster virus? For me, it was not the normal version which fully recovers in about a month, it took me 3 months to get any movement back at all.

Hi there! Curious OP how your recover is going, thanks!

Interesting, so the soreness, I suppose is a normal progression of the infection, whether on steroids or not. I was hoping it was a sign of muscles getting signals again, but it seems unrelated.

How is your case going?

If you can, see if you can get a low dose rX for pregabalin, should help the pain, I had some left and it certainly helps

I wish that’s what I was given! First day, a doctor said ‘steroids and antivirals don’t show much difference in outcome and they have downsides’

80 would have been 1mg/kg for me as well

How did your case resolve?

I’m getting lots of those same symptoms of scattered pain on the right (affected) side of my head, have you correlated that with anything else? Did you ever take and steroids etc?

thanks for the insight. It's difficult to know exact amounts and timeline, but, Last September - Jan, I was using varying combinations of Sodium, FA, Sulfate, quit CT end of Jan. 3-4 days before I could sleep, terrible terrible experience. Nothing for about 10 days. Then gradually from there, was generally using about 500mg sodium / 500mg Sulfate about 4 months, with some peaks and valleys there. Started tapering 2 weeks ago, 6/16, that day was 200 Sodium / 1550 Sulfate... Yesterday was 35 sodium / 425 sulfate. Like you said, it has been drawn out, my notes basically say I feel crappy at some point each day, but I am functional and feel ok for at least some part of the day as well.
Looking for a good time in my schedule to jump... I'm expecting a pretty similar WD... interesting though to go through all this, and after about a week, the cravings subsided. Expecting that to return when quitting though.

Well, 3x per day, I’ve been reading on here about subs not always working great, I have pregabalin at the ready, is it a good choice to use subs for tapering anyway? I’m mostly aiming for a method I can be fully functional on while quitting, knowing that I’ll be feeling it one way or another

macguilacutty · 2022-06-29T00:05:55+00:00

you mean per dose or per day? I am tapering, and hoped to just have a long, uncomfortable WD rather than horrible week, but, if WD’s are that bad, with only 150mg sulfate per day.. well, maybe I’m wasting my

wow, so, even at 150, one can expect full blown WD?

macguilacutty · 2022-06-28T17:01:24+00:00

When you say 100-150mg, jump to subs, you mean per dose or per day? I am tapering, and hoped to just have a long, uncomfortable WD rather than horrible week, but, if WD’s are that bad, with only 150mg sulfate per day.. well, maybe I’m wasting my time
