I had the problem when I was skinny too.
Had it when I was young
Had it when I was in College and played soccer and was in awesome shape
Had it when I moved out to my own place
It was partially caused by exercise in my mid-20s. What a loop that one would be.
Had it after reading many books about how not to have it and trying them
Had it when I got married
Had it when I was miserable
Had it when I was transitioning to middle-age
Found the drugs
Didn't have it again until I went down to 10mg cos I thought maybe I would get off them
Haven't had it since I went to 15mg

Without the drugs I was crawling up into a little foetal ball on my bed instead of going out with friends to concerts.

Without them I was convinced I was dying or permanently disabled.

On them about a decade now, if there is a long-term effect I think it is a normal life.
