At what point does this start to get better?

[[Fa...]]

Yeah basically the same. Some slight variations in symptoms but not rly any better or more functional at all. It's ridiculous and discouraging to say the least.

Your symptoms are mostly physical right?, No dp/Dr?

Depression?, Anxiety? Feeling off?,

What are your mental symptoms?

Yes I do still have anxiety and depression too. The rest is all physical tho. The worst pain I have is chest and abdominal pains.

Fayry23...abdominal pain was my first symptom in tolerance withdrawal and when I CT’d. It was an upper right quadrant pain similar to a gall bladder attack. I don’t know if that’s what you are experiencing. But, if so, mine was intense in acute withdrawal and I ended up in the ER just to be safe but, it has completely disappeared. I am in 1 week 5 months out. I was eating really healthy for the entire year I was on Ativan as I was coming off a major abdominal surgery. Drank Aloe Vera all that previous year, lots of good probiotics and digestive enzymes, no dairy, no gluten. I still take digestive enzymes and probiotics. If you are sure there is no medical reason for the pain based on tests, like mine showed then, I would bet it will dissipate soon.

 

I do have other physical symptoms that are more stubborn. Like you, my mental symptoms are nothing compared to physical. Ativan...is a bad hombre.

Thank you for the reply. Yes mine does feel like that at times. I have had gallstones and had my gallbladder removed so I know what it feels like. I was diagnosed with SIBO a while back so I think it's the major cause now of all my digestive issues. Trying to work on a way to treat that and see what happens. It's been close to a year for me of suffering. It's just hard to imagine it ever going away.

You will get better but it doesn’t happen fast I wish and the fear is normal.  If you need to talk I check in almost every day.  It’s been 3 years & 7 months for me now.

We simply don't know.

 

All we know is this: IT ENDS. EVERYONE HEALS.

 

Besides that, everything is uncertain. You might feel all good next week or not. You might have a setback within two weeks, or not.

 

Don't focus on when it would end. Rather, focus on the fact that you have come through a very long distance, and you are closer to the end and full healing than ever before, each day. Each day is a day less of suffering and closer to the end.
