[Co...] Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I am still tapering and in hellish withdrawal. Newest extra symptom is cold feels warm and warm feels painfully hot. It is incredibly scary and I barely can handle wearing clothes or walking in the house. But I did manage to move continents the past week. In the most hellish flight experience ever and my healthy boyfriend gpt sick from stress from it. And now yesterday, I went to a latin wedding and I lost most of the Spanish I picked up last summer and also my ability to learn and connect. I do not remember anyone's name and I used to be incredibly good at that. But I did manage. My boyfriend and doctor friend were there. No one else noticed I was off. Some that met me last year when my med injury snowball began did not even realize I lost more than 30 pounds. One friend of my boyfriend even talked about his issues with his stepmom. I guess I am still approachable even though I cannot engage like I used to and it frustrates me incredibly. I managed a wedding, I could not eat or drink and I shaked at some point very hard and we had to leave cause I could not use my legs anymore but I managed it. It is something to celebrate. But it also makes me sad. If I can do all of this like this I do not understand why my dad had no faith in me beforehand when I was not in pain and had my most important brain functions still there. It is also weird to tell people only half of the story and not that I am ill because I have always been open - to a fault. Anyway, we got invited to another wedding because his old classmates liked me, we will see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[B1...] Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 This is awesome news Coco. I bet this would have been unthinkable at the beginning of the year. I'm so happy you're with your boyfriend in a safe environment now, I can only imagine the healing that will bring you. Obviously sorry to hear about new symptoms, but just like others, this too shall pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
