Month 45+ healed

I missed this when you originally posted it, probably one of those times I took a break from BB. I'm glad you are still doing well and just enjoying life. And even eating heaps of sugar if you want.

That’s awesome I’m so glad to hear it! I can’t believe there’s another side to that hell. But it’s beautiful!!

I wish you could share more. Especially about what wqs going on around month 39

 

Month 36 was around the time I was trying to work full time and couldn’t even look at a computer screen because my head started spinning. I couldn’t drive. I couldn’t function. I was constantly in pain with so many symptoms and my eyes would literally vibrate in my skull. I laid in bed for a few months absolutely debilitated around that time. And then the symptoms slowly started to go away. I think I really healed my nervous system by resting. But it’s weird because I tried healing myself before the 3 year mark by doing that and it never did a thing. My body was ready this time to get better. Nothing I could’ve done would’ve sped up the process I don’t think. And I didn’t wake up one day all better. I woke up and a symptom would be gone. And then a week would go by and suddenly another one would drop off. Etc.

 

And to be honest it took another 2 years to finally feel normal AFTER that. I didn’t even realize how much healing I had left when I posted this success story. I’m even better now

Yes, I would love to hear her share more as well. I am inspired by her story.

 

You can message me questions! I try to come back once every few months to answer

How did you taper off of all of those other meds after the benzo?? I feel stuck with Akathisia on 28mg of Seroquel. I don't know if I can taper without something to support me that is NOT a psych med or dopamine agonist. I want off of all meds so I do not want to kick a can down the road but I don't know if this is sustainable it has been so bad.

So happy for you Meganz, I remember when you were going through the heart palpitations phase, you were so worried you would never get better and here you are. Congrats. Thanks for coming back to post a success story

5 weeks out post-jump. I am getting better each week. NAD+ was the best decision I ever made. I might be $1000 poorer, but it was worth getting off the merry-go-round. Now I'm on the roller coaster, and that eventually will end. I've been adding foods back into my diet. Tolerating so much more. I had PVC's, they are gone. Tinnitus waxes and wanes, but is going down overall. I am taking more breaks to focus on recovery. Looking forward to the future, while before it looked dismal, it now looks so hopeful. Not out of acute yet, but I do believe I will be very soon. Having WINDOWS!!!!    So.... I am sure Post-Acute is just around the corner.

 

Your story gives a lot of people hope; if you recovered, I know I will.  Take that, Darth Benzo!

I did not have the luxury of tapering. I wiah I had but here we are. Your signature story gives me hope.

 

I am still 2 months off benzos, and just had the worst akathisia-like symptoms starting last week. I am quitting sugar soon. I just saw your update that you eat sugary stuff now. 😭

 

Super congratulations!!!!!

I don’t feel like writing a huge success story. I thought I would. I thought I would be so excited to write this once I was better but honestly I don’t want to relive the nightmare

I’m traumatized

And shaken up

But other than that, I’m healed.

Caffeine makes me edgy

I don’t drink alcohol

And I haven’t tried any meds (so idk what they’d do to me)

But I haven’t had any symptoms for months.

I’ve had little blips where it’s like “oh gosh I remember this” like during my period or something

But otherwise yeah I’m back to normal life

I can’t guarantee I’ll respond to messages or this post

But you can go back and read my old posts

It was bad.

I’m a twitch streamer now. I go shopping for fun. I take my kids to the playground. I can drive just fine. I can eat whatever. Im back.

I know this is old.  When did you see improvement.  I'm over 2.years things getting worse.  Thank you
