Thanks a lot for your regular updates, Stan. Is there any symptom/s you can think of that has/have gotten better since your last update?

As for turmeric/curcumin, try his thread, Needinghelp; http://antidepressantwithdrawal.info...light=curcumin

globally i have improved a little, but with the cycle pattern, all comes back again and leaves a little, for example i have chest pain again, but not same as before, all is moving, changing; actually all muscles are very severe, this will diminish after a time i do not know and so on

I usually say that I have "advances and setbacks" (=windows and waves).
I have no windows spectacular, nor extreme waves. Perhaps for that reason, I say I advance two steps, and recoil one step. That's slow improvement....

Take care and big hug

hello Ruby, an ex french?


4 years 3 months off meds

no improvement or not visible feelings:

prostate problems
dry mouth and eyes and nose(sinusitis) (when lying horizontal in bed at night),
right ear deaf and tinnitus
memory cognition
eyes focus
some itching
problem left arm muscles(the classic left side thing many have), seems worse
i discovered i have bronchitis since years


improvements i feel more and more:

when i go on horizontal in bed i have first seconds very bad nerves head feelings between spine and neck head brain, difficult to describe
inflammations of the nerves and muscles: stiffness, tension,
leg muscles, arms, chest, spine, shoulders, neck, stomach, intestines, bladder etc
exercize is not possible, only very mild walking, and some positions are not possible because of a lack of muscles or nerves(such as bend, pulling a wheel luggage and other particular positions)
inflammations joints ankles, hips, elbows, chest, spine, knees,
i think i have no more akathisia or 5%
and with all this bad equilibrium, off balance
anxiety without reason, chemical adrenal
outdoor derealisation (up and down)
better interaction with people
very high emotional
overactive autonomic nervous system


new or change:

when i stress, i have pain in arms and chest, after calm it goes away, i feel that i can have an action about it mentally, before i could not, too much numbed
i have a small pain right between groin and begin ribcage(liver or colon or gallbladder or appendice ?), will not go to doctor

all is still here with waves worse and better(the better do not seem windows)
since maybe 5 months ago, i slowly improve, serious hope is back; i can say that during 3 years and 10 months off, i had not significant improvements

That is so great to hear there are more improvements, Stan. Just keep it up, my friend. How are you in the anhedonia department these days?

[Iggy131313]

Stan im so pleased for you, the best thing is that you feel HOPE, that is a wonderful gift to you and to all of us. Yes tell us about your anhedonia...

I knw you still have symptoms on a daily basis and that they are horrible, but seeing improvements really helps doesnt it? helps you see that it could be and IS possible for it to et better, and if it can get better, then it can go away.

You have been very brave for a very long time, I cant wait till your on the eurostar coming to take me away to France and making an honest woman of me!! let me know as soonas its possible lol

[stan]

for the anhedonia, i have, but it seem not made me much harm, i notice that actually i do not think about, living my life;
Iggy, i will speed my healing, drinking bottle of vitamine C, omega 3 , to be able to pick you the faster possible

So happy for you, Stan, that you have felt improvements and now have hope - that is just wonderful! You are so very strong for going so long without any sign of change - how did you keep going all those years without any improvement??
