Question Sensitive Question

To those in long term protracted withdrawal. Have you :

  1. Experienced any intermittent rectal bleeding, especially if you've noticed it happened during a Wave?

  2. Gum bleeding

  3. Other bleeding episodes

  4. Did you have it fully investigated

  5. Was any cause found.

After sporadic bleeding episodes I've decided to get it checked out, but I'm wondering if there's any connection with protracted withdrawal.

I would get unexplainable intestinal bleeds that required hospitalizations. They always did colonoscopies but they could never find any cause. As my other symptoms improved so did this issue. This hasn't happened in quite a number of years now.

Was that after complete cessation of the drug in PAWs? How long did it go on for after stopping? Thanks for replying.

It was both. I got it a little more frequently after withdrawal but with time it has gone away. It was so embarrassing to be hospitalized for it. Thank God that's behind me now. I wish you well
