Post tx side effects

[NancyPF]

Hey all,

I completed treatment five days ago and the first two days I felt great.  For the past couple of days I've had a lot of muscle and joint pain, like I worked out too hard, which I haven't.  Is this related to stopping tx?  I've heard horror stories about fibromyalgia and lupus being a long term side effect, and I'm hoping that's not what's happening to me.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
P.S.  The is the third time I've posted today and it's not showing up in the forum, so if you've found this post before, that's why.

You may want to read some posts in the archives that will possibly shed some light on your situation:

This is a very recent addition to the forum's Health Pages, thanks to Jim (aka JmJm530), who collected and organized all this. It is very useful.

When I finished tx I felt the same as I did while on tx, by the end of a week I felt really bad and wondered if maybe I was going through some sort of withdrawal. I never did find out a clearcut answer, but, almost 2 months later, I feel much better. No muscle pain, joint pain, getting better, no nausea or headaches. For most people this all gradually resolves at varying rates. Do mention it to your doc though.
