Day 50- keep going

Today I hit day 50. It’s been a long journey so far. I have experienced many symptoms, including terrible brain fog, memory issues, strange lightheaded spells (feels like I am going to faint), etc. Now on day 50, I can say the following:

Brain fog has certainly become less intense. I used to have it 24/7 the first few weeks but it seems to have calmed down significantly. Still get it occasionally or at certain times of the day

The lightheaded spells come and go but seems overall a positive trajectory towards getting better

Short-term memory is still pretty bad but I’m trying to give myself grace and understand it will come back with time.

Overall, progress has definitely been made. Do I feel like my old self? Absolutely not. Am I getting closer? I think so

I’ve also had a ton of medical anxiety which I have worked hard to try to conquer. Going to start therapy this week to hopefully sort out what symptoms are anxiety driven and which are legitimately from withdrawal and my other ailments

Hang in there people. Only one way forward! I have I can come back to this forum one day and talk about my full recovery. Take care of yourselves!
