    Thank you for christening our new site, mon ami!

    You are a brave, strong, smart person. As you have said, we are the lucky ones because we were able to discover that the drug was our problem, and we were able to get off it.

    I am so glad I met you! It was clearly meant to be! And I cannot wait to see what we do next! :)

    my neurological damages at 28 months off:

    standing still difficult, nocturia, mouth dry at night, lungs with mild noises (kind of asthma?), muscles pain in ribcage, spinal, neck, low back pain, bowels problems, shortness of breath better, can walk more far, the pain increase and go away and comes again, but i still have pain in arms and chest wich lessen after walking half an hour(kind of pseudo agoraphobia), less derealization, less emotional, many seems as pseudo fibromyalgia, i still have difficult to walk far, and walk abnormal feelings

    Hey, Stan! It's been one hell of a ride, hasn't it? Thank you so much for sharing your story. I so feel what you're saying there. Your testimony will help so many. What is worst is not the hell itself, but being in it PLUS not knowing what's caused it. The very moment you realize the reason behind it all, you're a big step closer to getting your life back. One day you'll post in this very thread "I'm healed".
