chemo during withdrawl?

[[Sh...]]

I have lupus that has gotten pretty severe this past year. I honestly think the stress of all my withdrawals has triggered it. It is attacking my central nervous system and my dr wants to do 6 month chemo to settle down the attack

has anyone had to do chemo during this time?

I am terrified it will trigger akathesia symptoms

Can you distinguish between your benzo recovery symptoms and the Lupus?  Has akathisia been one of your main ones and if so, has it left you?

I can’t tell the difference between my symptoms of lupus vs withdrawals. I’ve been in withdrawals for almost 2 years. But this past year my lupus labs have gotten severe. I had akathesia on and off over this two years. Not as bad as it was.

 

I’m just very scared of chemo. But I have to calm down my lupus. So I wanted to see if anyone has gone through chemo

I don't blame you for being scared, and I can see how miserable you are.  I'm not aware of any active members going through chemo but there may be some in the past.  If you'll use one of these search techniques you may find some posts, its much better than using our search function.  http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=251991.0
