The Long Hold Support Group

[[es...]]

Good afternoon everyone. Sorry to be away yesterday. I logged in and never posted due to interruption and then started feeling sick. Just sick sick , not Benzo sick. Still dragging today. Welcome, Blossom. Free, you have been through so much. Is the burning feeling new? Stephen, I am glad your family is being more supportive. It takes a while for people to realize just how serious this is. Stut, Mary, miss you a lot. Trishy, sounds like the taper is ok so far. What % do you reduce? Gilly, hope you are ok. You, too, Can’t. Hugs to all, Esperanza

[[fr...]]

  Hi Espy, no the burning has been ongoing and getting worse.  Just stuck and don’t really know what to do.  Hope you feel better soon. I miss everyone also, just not the same here. 

[[es...]]

Free, I haven’t experienced the burning, but that may come. Are you holding or tapering now? E

[[fr...]]

  Holding but it hasn’t helped in over a year. 

[[Tr...]]

Hey everyone hope you're all doing ok..

 

Stut my twin glad you're enjoying the beach, I'm jealous, would do love to see the dolphins! Love you lady..

 

English, I could use those hugs now.. Didn't sleep well last night and put in another tough day at work🤪.. Other than that haven't noticed any terrible sxs so I guess that's good.. Day 5 and holding🤞.. Love ya, black pool Betty😂

 

E, hey lady good to see you were here, wish I hadn't missed ya but my timing has been awful for catching you guys on here.. As for my percentage reduction I believe it's 4% ish like 4.16 something like that, nice lady Gingermint did the math for me one time as well as Can't. Love ya Kentucky Derby♥️

 

Free, I'm so sorry to hear that you're burning isn't getting better, I understand how fearful you must be. Did you do any research online to see if it's related to wd or any meds you're taking? I don't usually recommend that bc Dr Google can scare the hell out of people like us, however maybe you might want to take a peek just this once.. Love ya free♥️

 

 

Hey spy, glad you're seeing some positive changes, good news!! Let the good times roll..L word spy

 

Hello to Stephen and blossom, Hope you like hanging out here.. There are some weirdos but trust me I'm not one of them..pssst don't tell them I told you that... Ok truth be told I'm the biggest freak here😂😂 welcome to the LHSG crazy🚂 all welcome aboard lol!

 

Hope I didn't miss anyone.. Love you guys!

 

Peace, love and happiness is my wish for you all tonight..

 

Over and out,

Trish♥️

Stephen, I'm glad that you now have the support of your Dad and brothers. I know you wouldn't wish this on anyone, but it is such a relief when those close to us understand. I think my daughter understands. My boyfriend is quite laid back and just lets me do what I want, so that's good. My Mum tries to understand but then it I have a wave, she immediately wants to get medical help. I can't remember how many times I've told her that there is nothing they can do. Changing my tablets or increasing them are both options I do not wish to consider. And talking therapy just doesn't work for a physically injured brain. Only acceptance and a very slow taper will help.

 

Well, that's good to know that you've got family near you for when your wife goes away to Kilimanjaro.

Hi Trishy, I'm here now if you want me.  English xxx 💟

Hi Esp. I'm okay, thanks. Just lying on the bed watching dvds. Hope your sickness has gone.

Love and Hugs.  Gilly xxx 💟

I haven't read much but I had to drop in and say hi.  I am so lonely and miss you guys so much.  My eye has healed but trying to focus out of eyes that don't match is pretty hard but it's coming along.  Second procedure 3/5, this is my strongest eye so things should go quicker.

 

I am going to post so much, every time you look 👀 there will be a new post from me

 

I love you all very much and am going to try to start posting a little everyday.

Can't, you are my hero, but you know that 🐉

Stut, my Queen, pet my babies and I hope your sister has improved

Trishy, gossip says you suck at train driving but I love you for the effort, the other D

Esperanza, my hillbilly cousin, you participated so much , hoping you are doing better

Estee, love for you and kitty 🐱

Intend, I hope the crossover has gone well, love to you Dan and Pepper 🐈

MARY!!!  Welcome back! You wouldn't believe what this lot have been like. Pining for you! Trishy couldn't even eat any of her custard cream biscuits.... 

 

Great to see you here! And when you have the next eye done, you will know what's happening so you won't be as anxious. Good news!

 

Could you wear some sunglasses 😎 when on here? Feel free to laugh if that's a silly idea...

 

Love, Hugs and thoughts of Healthy Eyes  .  Gilly xxx 💟💟💟

Hey you, it's so good to hear from you  . I have got the iPad brightness on low, its getting better every day, thank goodness.  Sly will be so glad I have something to do besides love on him . Are you doing okay?  I held for 18 days altogether and did really well with w/d symptoms, so that was one blessing.  I have been so lonely and missed you all so much, can't wait for this to all be over.  Love you English ❤️💜🐱🐾🐾🐾🐾

[[4G...]]

I'm okay, thanks. I'm holding now. Maybe for a long time.

 

So, can you see better colours of anything or is it too early yet?

 

Love and Hugs. Gilly xxx 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 colours for you!!!

Going to bed now. Everybody will be so chuffed to have you back, Mary. Night, night. 🌷🌸🌹🌼🌻🌺

Gilly you do sound so much better.A good long hold will perhaps help with the remainder of your taper so do it and give yourself a break.love you and sending you a hug.

Trish my twiny l hate to hear you are not feeling good remember this will pass and just hold on your dose until you feel better.l know you have been feeling down recently but it will lift just keep doing what you are doing.love you my lST.

  Trishy, Mary Stut, Gilly, and all, I’m sure my symptoms are from meds but which one, who knows.  I have done dr google and nothing mentions burning except Valium maybe so who knows.  I’m too bad right now to investigate further.  Love to you all and so good to see everyone posting.    :smitten:

[[Tr...]]

Hey Stut my twin! Have a grand day at the beach, I am doing better this morning, got some much needed sleep last night! Yay.. The depression thing is a winter issue so counting the days to spring🙏🙏.. Hope you enjoy your day, and better wear one of your designer by Trish tin foil hats bc pssst the other dumb is back and she'll be spying👀 on you at the beach with her drones.. 

Love you,

[[Ma...]]

I'm okay, thanks. I'm holding now. Maybe for a long time.

 

So, can you see better colours of anything or is it too early yet?

 

Love and Hugs. Gilly xxx 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 colours for you!!! 

 

I can see colors great, it's just my left eye is now 20/30, which is pretty good but my right eye is I don't know  what, but with this next procedure, it will have almost perfect vision, will just need reading glasses.  I will just be glad it's over..  But I am so glad to see well enough to post.  I stayed on too long last nite just because I was so happy to be on . Love you English, you sound good  ;)

Love and pets for Tilly 💜❤️ 🐈🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾  Mary

I have to hold for long periods after drops. I held 5 months after last drop. Finally was having some “window” days and figured I would do a microtaper drop. Have held for 3 weeks and it’s rough going.

Too late, drones went out a couple days ago.  I was shocked at what our Stut was up too . But I will save that info in case I need to blackmail her anytime in the future

Hi welcome yes holding isn't easy however pushing through definitely makes everything a million times worse.We all have to find our own path however l do believe that holding between cut's for as long as is necessary is the best way to successfully get off benzos.
