Richard, you’re reaching. I’m no one’s savior, nor do I possess a “stereotypical” savior mentality. I commended someone in recovery for a job well done and stated my opinion that he shouldn’t feel compelled to justify his journey. No life raft to see here. I don’t have time to get lost in the minuti...

PAWSsurvivor, you are quite the brave and inspiring soul. Congratulations on your progress through this awful valley of pain and uncertainty we call PAWS. Thank you for all of the updates and honesty. They matter so much to those of us still facing the recovery road ahead. I don’t believe you have t...

Congrats on your awesome quit! 25 months is a serious accomplishment and you should be exceedingly proud of yourself! I just passed the 11 month mark with all the random body feels still doing their awful bidding. I’m getting to that place you mention where instead of freaking out I just acknowledge...

About the coffee, or caffeine, I mean it took me about 4-5 months after I quit to be able to drink it without instigating my anxiety and giving me mad heart palpitations. Now I have about 2 cups over the course of the morning/early afternoon, but I don’t touch it after 1pm. I also drink French press...

All sounds pretty PAWS-like except I'm not sure about the medical testing. I had a full blood work-up done in my early PAWS days (3 months) and the only things amiss were my Vitamin D (indoors for ages during Covid + not eating due to PAWS) and low B12 (vegan). I'm no doc or medical expert, of cours...

Greetings @Ultralobster - Hope you're doing great and sticking with your quit! I came across something pretty interesting on the Benzo Free podcast I thought you might be interested in listening to. It's about Benzos and pelvic floor dysfunction. I know our PAWS is from weed, but apparently there's ...

Thanks iHatePaws94. Your reply is super helpful. I’ve got bad bruxism and TMJ too. Always been a bit of a grinder but the PAWS knocked it out of the park. Developed full TMJ and the facial pain to go with it. My dentist fit me for a night guard but I’m going back to redo it today because it actually...

Curious. Anyone here develop TMJ during PAWS? If so, did it last for the duration, recede gradually, or eventually go away all together? Anyone past PAWS but still have it? Thanks friends!

DUDE - NO BENZOS. Talk about something that’ll F with you! It’ll only exacerbate PAWS. I just went through 2 serious surgeries in 2 months and freeballed it on extra strength Tylenol because there was NO WAY I could fathom dumping drugs into my PAWS-fragile body. I repeat - back surgery while going ...

Hi John -- I've been following your posts and we're on the same withdrawal timeline. I'm about 9 1/2 months and my symptoms have recently come roaring back with a vengeance. After a quasi-bearable summer where the PAWS leveled down to about a 6ish, I've found myself stuck in a roaring 9/10 the past ...

Dude! I’m a chick and have had similar symptoms which I’ve also posted about here but haven’t gotten any replies. I’m about 8 1/2 months weed free and about a month or so after quitting I noticed some really odd tingling down there. There was so much going on with my body because of withdrawal I kin...

I’m at 4 months and some change and have finally started to see some of the physical symptoms you describe diminish, thank god They were horrid at the beginning of PAWS but lessened gradually. One thing that was HUGE was learning I had a vitamin D deficiency. Have you been checked? The deficiency ex...

Greetings all! This post/question is a bit delicate and specifically for the ladies who are going through weed PAWS. Not long after quitting weed 3 1/2 months ago I developed some incredibly uncomfortable sensations in my female bits. It started off barely imperceptible like tiny nerve tingles but o...
