Guest guest Posted February 7, 1999 Report Share Posted February 7, 1999 Lynn, YES !!! That's it, those exploding knees. The buildup of pressure is how I have always described it, at least to myself because I didn't really think others would understand. It's like the pressure builds and builds ( I sometimes can't believe my knees aren't ten times their normal size) until it just explodes and then " to me', it's like all these electrical impulses have been let out and just start going wild all over my legs and arms. This stuff is hard enough to deal with as an adult, but trying to explain why your body is writhing all over the church pew when you're a kid is not fun. I do have the creepy, crawly, snakes in my skin feeling too, but the exploding knees really hits home. The Tylenol PM thing just goes to show how different we all are. I took one - one night - and it was one of the worst nights i've ever spent. My head was dropping as I was frantically trying to walk off one of the worst attacks i've ever had. Benadryl does the same thing, I'm so sleepy I can't hold my head up and almost fall down trying to keep walking. More power to you if it works for you though. I apologize to all of you for this being so long, but this message from Lynn really sparked some strong feelings, and as I told ne today, (I think it was ne) I think I'm wired from all these meds I'm taking for bronchitis. Forgive me and thanks for listening. Ninette - 51 - TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
