[lo...] Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi folks Two years off on 31st March. Wow!! Progressing really well and most of my symptoms have now gone. 18 months of head pressure came to an end this week. My symptoms don't tend to come back. They slowly diminish and disappear for good. Have been emotionally ok throughout this process. Physically I am now about 80%. Sleeping pattern has become much much better. Just left with very heavy brain which continues to prevent me from functioning cognitively and physically so am still in bed mostly. Anticipate being completely well this year. :thumbsup: Please come to my party on 31st or even better come on 29th when abcd is 8 months off and the 30th when LovingMother is 12 months off. Going to be the best 3 day shindig ever!! Special guests include Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bT0xntJ0574/UPGMMyiuHMI/AAAAAAAASY4/Vg8u7Py5gzQ/s1600/BowieJagger.gif David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancing In The Street: https://youtu.be/9G4jnaznUoQ http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/15/article-2173758-14126298000005DC-521_634x467.jpg Paul McCartney & Bruce Springsteen - I Saw Her Standing There & Twist An...: Wishing all my buddies much healing, patience and strength.

[lo...] Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Mind Thanks so much for all your support over many months. We have had such fun too with our virtual critters - Mensa Cat, Grumpy Cat, Scottie Dog and Tootles. They are soooo excited about the party. Yeah, this is our year!! About time too. A lifetime on drugs is toooooo much. Hugs LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 18 months I was really ill with nerve pain and head pressure. :'( :'( It is such a relief to be finally free from pain and distress. LF Lf - those are the two exact sx I'm dealing with right now.. What month did you finally get some relief? Thank you so much for your reply. Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[lo...] Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi Jenny The nerve pain and head pressure both lessened over many months and only stopped in the past week. January and February were very difficult months. My symptoms generally don't come back so am fairly confident they have gone for good. I had nerve pain in my legs, feet, vagina and anus. The most awful pain I have ever experienced. :'( :'( :'( I hope you get relief very soon. Hugs LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Te...] Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 LF, I'm absolutely THRILLED FOR YOU!!!! I haven't been on Benzo-free Celebrations much at all (too discouraged) and have been following your progress log, but I can't tell you what it means to me to actually know/follow someone who is getting to the almost-healed point. Believe me, I keep searching around, hoping, wondering. Wow, what you wrote gives me hope!!! Thank you so much for posting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[lo...] Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Aw, Terry, thank you so much. You might want to read my post for today in my blog. http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=113238.msg1749181#msg1749181 Never give up, never lose hope. Life can be good again. I am getting these surges of energy now. Had two bursts of physical energy and two bursts of emotion. no more than an hour each. Think I may slowly be coming back to life!! I sure hope things get better for you soon. Really glad your feet are having a partial window. > That made me laugh. Most folk I know on the forum are really really struggling just now. However, Mindseeker is having a really good window just now so have a look at her blog too. :thumbsup: She has been polydrugged for many many years.
