Residual Physical Effects

[Playful]

Do you think after shifting a few times the werewolf would have residual physical effects such as pointy ears, light coating of fur, etc.?

perhaps skin streach marks...or sore gums as well

A few aches and pains after shifts, sleepyness after a long night out

He would probably be really tired and sweaty. His bones would probably be a little, how should I put this, fragile and maybe he would be have a little fatigue. All in all, he would be very weak for awhile.

....wouldn't that lead to like skin sluffing off?

That depends on how well prepared the Werewolf is. Each of the discussed problems have solutions; provided the Werewolf is aware of aware of the shifting that occurs.
Probably, after a sort of 'break-in' period, the Were' would become acclimated to most of the effects of the Shift.
Since our bodies know what we need better than we do, the Were' would probably start craving things. Just like in pregnancy...

What about residual oils, or lack of. I'm pretty sure there's a difference in the bodily produced oils between something with fur and something without. So a shower might be needed after a shift.

I think there would be definatly an extreme need to eat food to get back the nutrition or energy's you wasted after a transformation.

[RedEye]

You'd also want a place to den-up. Sleep would be needed as much as food.
Which leaves me with the vision of a just shifted Werewolf...wearing his 'jammies and eating a dagwood sandwich, with a glass of warm milk on the bedside table.
Some Horror beast, eh?

In my own storyline, I picture not shifting to have more side effects. To a werewolf, it's healthier to shift regularly, both mentally and physically. So, someone saying "don't try to resist it" isn't just trying to be melodramatic and inspire angst.
