1. Today marks SEVEN months since I stopped taking ADs. How amazing is that? When I compare seven months to the first time I stopped by this time I was well and truly in the realms of severe depression.
2. My right hand is now four weeks post decompression surgery. I'm still in a lot of pain. I have pillar pain which is a complication of the surgery. It's a deep pain in my wrist and also in my thumb. It's very painful and takes my breath away. Fortunately this is temporary and should resolve on it's own within the next two months.
3. Surgery for my left hand is six weeks today. Left hand is still painful with carpal tunnel syndrome. All the symptoms are still there. They're being aggravated because I'm using my left hand more while my right hand recovers. Numbness, tingling, pain, burning, shooting pains up my forearm. They're all still there. There's also a good chance I'll get the same complication as above. I'm just hoping the three months of absolute agony are worth it in the long run.
