I THINK I have PAWS.
Otherwise Im just dying haha
I just have a few questions as I try to work out if this is PAWs or something more serious.
1 When you stopped. Did you feel really bad for a few days or weeks during the detox. Then suddenly feel GREAT for a day or two. Then slipped into PAWS symptoms which seemed to get stronger and stronger as the months rolled on (Im at month 3 and they arent getting better. Some days are better or worse but overall its more and more of my spiraling into hell)
2 Ear Issues= Loud ringing in the ear.I cant stand up straight without swaying everywhere or walk without clipping walls or people.
3 Nauseated Awakenings=Weird thing. I go to bed. Wake up 2am. Feel ok. Then fall back to sleep from 4-7am and wake up so nauseated and tired which goes away over the course of the day. Anybody wake up 6-7am feeling sick and tired?
4 Low Immunity= on your blood tests? This is what Im worried about. White blood, neutrophils, lymphocytes, natural killer etc All under the range. Not sure if PAWS ever has this symptom or I have a more serious underlying issue.
5 I drink a can of coke or green tea.. I feel ok when I do. II even feel happy. Brain fog seems to clear. But the next day Im in bed like Ive been out drinking. I feel like any time I boost my dopamine. I just come crashing down.
Does any of this sound like PAWS to you? Thanks for any help. I have Lyme disease, exposed to mould, have a genetic disorder where you go blind fast and 3 degrees of vision left which is deteriorating into a blur. So Im desperate for a few good answers. Thanks.
History
Smoked pot/tobacco for 15 years. Every few days for 10 years when I knocked off work.
Started needing more and more smoke each session until it felt like it was nonstop smoking.
Started to feel rough for a day afterwards and far from normal, then as time went on. it took two days, then a week before Id feel normal. Eventually I was literally in bed for 2-3 days every time I smoked and Id need a break for a month or so before Id feel normal again. The breaks took longer and longer to recover. I must have done this 20 or so times.
Then after a few weeks I felt ok. Actually Id feel AMAZING for a few days.... and would then smoke again thinking I was normal. The cycle began. Over and over. Thought I was better(1-4 months) . Smoked, Thought I was better . Smoked. Each time longer and deeper like falling down stairs. But this time...ITS HELL like Ive not felt before.
Was I just playing with PAWs and now its suddenly 10 times worse with symptoms Ive never had before or something new. Currently its a crushing, spinning, numbing, tingling, ringing, nauseated, blurry and a brain made of pure mud condition where any other time I was just tired and unmotivated..
Feel free to answer Y Y N Y N to the 5 questions. Ill work it out. Just looking to reassure myself Im not going mad or Ive got some infection inflaming my brain.
