  I don't have a great sense of smell,but while on treatment it became ten times better,now post treatment it's back to were it was before treatment.It definitely as something to do with the meds.

  I was thinking about that, myself, the other day, when my knee stiffened up on me. It was morning, and I was drinking strong coffee, which dehydrates. My instinct now, is to go back to drinking alot more water then I have been, since stopping Tx.
   I was so happy to be finished, that I began celebrating with cappucinos, and NOT drinking water

i also wonder if a reason that many folks get achy post tx is maybe because our bodies adjust to being lubricated so well while on tx and then post tx need water....more then before tx...

Not sure about that but, I do know I'm dehydrated now that I'm not making an effort to be hydrated anymore.
