[wo...] Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Some of us have experiences everything from ache to zing. Luckily my pain does not persist and spikes at about a level 8 for a short time. But there is a fine line between pains and sensation. I have more sensations than persisting pains. Some are merely nuisances but the origins are what is concerning me most. Extremedies: There are pains and sensations that I easily recognize as benzo related, but some are more specific and associated with other concerns I have. If I use my ares I may get a cramping in my fore arms. At times I have a lingering dull cramp like pain in my calves. Sometimes in the morning when I stretch I get a full blown cramp (charlie horse) in my calf. Lower Abdomen: Various poking, zings, slight burning, aches, knots, cramps. Nothing too severe and generally periodic. Sternum: Forget about even trying to go into this one. It does everything! There are too many types of pains and sensations to try describing. So I wonder if any members are concerned about the origins of them. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I can only speculate on this, but because the central nervous system is extremely sensitive after benzodiazepine use, I think these may be normal sensations that we simply don't notice when the cns is functioning normally by suppressing them.

I agree!! The worst thing my WD gave me is this OVER-noticing of body processes. I am sure that a healthy person has the same things from time to time but I notice them, get worried, focus on symptoms, go crazy - things don't "go away". My biggest goal is to try not to worry, to trust and let go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
