Are we over acute after 6 months?

[[Tr...]]

Ashton Mantual says we heal on average 6-18 months. For me, I notice my core symptoms are less intense and less frequently. But I still have them bad though. Please share your thoughts.

I'm hoping 6-18 months is it. I just hit 7 months off and I feel not too much better. It scares me. I cold t is this for cold t too?

The acute period of withdrawal on average lasts about a month. Healing is typically a gradual process...less intensity, and less frequent.  It sounds like you are on the right track.

I feel like I am in phase two but it's certainly not pleasent. My sxs are still unrelenting and I am developing new ones. My inner vibrations hurt now, I have a lot of tingling and nerve pain and I am very lethargic and exhausted at the moment. I can't wait to say goodbye to that one, I can hardly move, very frustrating

I think so too but I have bad days sometimes . Today I feel really dizzy at work I just can't wait to go home but I'm coping.

Hmm my symptomes are the worst now in 5 month.Much worst then in acute...Now I am really scared.

[[ki...]]

5th month is by far the worst. As I can see that is because we all experience some relief by that time and then bam wave hit us. And to be honest all of us start to lose hope by this time because nobody could even imagine that this hell could last this long.

at two months out i have increasing difficulty with a number of things.

but really, it's serious INCREASING stress troubles exponentially...at two months out. to a really dangerous point. it's nothing like any stress or panic attack per se...it just goes from zero to 200 in a second flat and all i can do is hold on...it's pretty obvious i'm not 'right' and it's scaring me...i've never stuttered or stammered before, now i launch totally into tongue tied frustrateed and unable to actually speak very easily at the slightest stress...i can't hide this one...i can fake thru the rest...this is just shut your mouth; do NOT call anyone...do NOT try to have a conversation....

 

i figured with high dose long duration kindled history I'd be a better candidate for protracted than others...so i wasn't expecting the 'all clear' signal...and now must radically accept that i do not know...it IS possible, like others...that it will a few months or into next year, i mean 2018 next year, not the one starting in a few days....

....like some people report...a lot seem to report disturbances of acute nature longer than a few months, some much longer and at a few years they are realizing they are kind of stuck and the ruination in their wake won't ever be quite straightend out...

 

i came in to bb already injured and slammed so i have to take things in stride as to predictions...i didn't do it properly. i didn't know. i was never told warned or informed as i now know is par for the course in this dirty business...

 

...what i can report of positivity would be there HAS been mitigation of certain symptoms, tho i think new disturbances, or increased problems with other symptoms have certainly intensified...

 

the huge muscle locks on legs and the unstoppable restless legs and have mitigated and mostly gone, not entirely but mostly so...i hope not to return with that intensity...

also the muscle locks of fingers and hands...the hard locks i had to physically pry apart with working appendages....they are gone for the very most part..there are lots of times when i can hold my hands out and they won't shake....if that is 'healing' I'm happy to report it...i can't really know at this point if I'll be any better at six months should God give me that time...i want to believe the damage done to the upregulators or receptors hasn't been actually physical damage that will not regenerate...that the damaged parts, or unworking parts, will become undamaged and./or start to work 'normally'...i just don't know...I'm not sure about anyting at this point...just saying two months out is still trouble for me tho some stuff has mitigated or shifted or is mostly gone...

Month 5 for me was the worse too. I'm in 6 month even though I feel its better but sometimes its bad too. I really do'nt know whats going on with this nonlinear thingy. driving me crazy sometimes too. but hang in there

I had some pretty intense withdrawal symptoms at 6 months. The difference between 1 month and 6 was at 1 month there was no letup. At 6 months I could feel the symptoms lighten up after a while. I had times at 6 months to 8 months that I thought that I was close to recovery only to be thrown into another wave.

You are healing! It is hard to know exactly when you will be completely over this. It seems that there are certain defining points or barriers that we cross. At 6 months I felt I had crossed a barrier. My dizziness got a lot better. At 1 year, I could go places without too much fear. I was hit with a few waves that made me feel as though I was losing ground. When I broke through those waves I would feel better than before the wave. So, when and if you go through another wave, just tell yourself that these waves are the healing part and when they leave, you feel much better. Right now, I'm feeling pretty good. I seem to be having what I call mini waves. They last sometimes a day or they may be for a couple of hours and then I feel ok. You just don't know when it will hit you, that's the troubling part.  One last word. 6 months is usually a pivotal point. You should start seeing some significant improvements.

 

I hope that your New Year will be the beginning of a new life for you!

I'm a little over five months and I've been doing very well for weeks, so I'm very hopeful. Remaining symptoms: sometimes my sleep isn't as deep as I'd like, tinnitus decreased but there, fatigue probably due to deconditioning which I'm working on, and sometimes I get some brain fog but it's not bad. Everyone's different and I could be hit with another wave anytime I know but it does get better and you are healing!!

Thank you for the message. Your words bring me comfort. I was starting to feel down, losing hope a bit because it has been 6 months that i endure it...I know 6 months probably still early in wd...but it seems long to us going thru this...i just want my life back, want to enjoy with others especially the holidays...i am hoping this New Year will be the beginning for a new life! cross my finger
