@proforged @jessmisener @Medium “Unbearable” is a good word for it especially if you already have chronic urticaria / dermal anaphylaxis and don’t realize the withdraw makes your symptoms far worse... https://t.co/X4z0EUnA3v . My good friend @tifficato had
So finally a study was done on this, and I'm glad to know it's not 'just me'. https://t.co/qUlwoF6c3c
