A few weeks ago was told that I would have to come off my medication because of a very odd reaction.
I was getting bruises and cuts without knowing what had happened and this was getting very worrying. The worst bit was when I went into the house, and my wife would ask what I had done as there was blood running down my arm, and yet I did not feel a thing.
This all to came to a head a few weeks ago, when something more series happened, so we went to see our GP, who told us that it was a reaction to my medication, but it was really up to the consultant as to whether I could come off it. He also said that the medication had probably stopped the feeling in my arms legs and fingers.
The GP then received a letter saying that it would be better for me to come off all together, but in his wisdom he told us to reduce the dose to half over a certain period, and then we could see what would happen. His reason was that the medication was working, but perhaps it needed adjusting again.
This is because it was boosted to cover my horrendous nightmares etc. But then after seeing the Clinical psychologist for three weeks, about the nightmares they stopped.
To day we were gardening and I got a nice surprise as I cut my arm and felt it sting, then I accidentally caught a rose and got a thorn in another finger which made me curse a little. My dear wife looked at me and said that it looks as if the feeling has all come back again, which is good.
These treatments are good but sadly we never hear about all these side effects. But I do think the treatment far out weighs the side effects if you can put up with it, and sadly I seem to be the odd one who gets these reactions as they do not happen very much in fact they are very rare.
Sadly my typing is now slipping and I am having problems reading and answering e-mails properly, so we will have to wait and see what happens.
But I am not too worried as I can do other things, and thats important.

, I am still getting the feeling that someone else is in the room with me (the goblin I have referred to before).
