13 months and counting...

[[ar...]]

Thirteen months off today and still waiting for healing.  I'm at a point right now where I believe I am going to be stuck with this balance problem for the rest of my life.  It has gotten better from when it first started but it has stayed at the same level now for months without letting up.  I know my CNS is damaged because of benzos and now I believe it must be permanently damaged.  Insomnia is still a problem but it doesn't bother me as much as the balance issue.  I lay down to go to sleep and I feel like I'm on a rocking boat night after night after night for the past 13 months.  Most of the other symptoms have gone except this one.  I do get some anxiety from time to time.  I also get frequent headaches and head pressure but even this isn't as bad as before.  I hope at 24 months I can finally put this experience behind me but with every passing day I have doubts I will ever be able to write a success story from this awful journey.  Sorry for not being more positive but right now I am just tired of all of this and want it to be over.

Well, we could be a pair.  When I stand up I feel like I'm on a rocking boat, but when I lie down I'm fine.  Go figure.

I am 16 months off and still have symptoms. I twitch all the time, have trouble with control of my hands and arms, headaches, dizzyness-sort of, no energy or ambition

 

I keep a positive attitude that i will heal. Sometimes i feel like this is it and I will be this way for ever. I cant do anything about it, so on and on I go.

 

I will heal

 

good healing, fair winds

I used to feel like I was on a boat all the time, standing or lying down, so I guess I should be grateful for being down to one.  It just gets so frustrating.

Thanks Ghostship. I've come a long way so I know I have healed a lot but sometimes when there are no changes from day to day it gets frustrating. We will heal!!!
