I think things are finally settling a bit. The body shakes and heart pounding are reducing a bit each day and the windows are getting longer. My GI tract feels shot, and I have colitis so I’m getting tests done to check it’s not triggered a flare which I’ve been worried about throughout the last few months, but hoping it’s just symptoms of the withdrawal and eases soon. I managed to go to a dentist appointment yesterday to have a filling replaced which i was meant to have a month ago but couldn’t get out of bed, so that is definitely improvement. Im waiting to see if that anxiety and stress impacts my recovery. But im incredibly grateful for the longer windows, even though im still not able to do huge amounts, i am out of bed during them and able to interact with my family. Progress feels very very slow, but maybe that is more sustainable 🩷
