11 months and significant brain healing

It's happening !!!

You guys. Omg. It's really finally happening.

I am experiencing major leaps in cognitive abilities, spacial abilities, anxiety, panic attacks, driving. Everything is starting to make sense for the first time in my whole life.

There is a palpable peace, serenity, a "knowing" , that I'm not only turning a corner, I'm takin' that sucker at 70 mph on two wheels !!

I can not believe life can feel like this.

On my knees in gratitude and mercy.

Don't. Give. Up.

This is one of the most inspiring posts I've read recently, and there are a lot of really good ones on here.
Thank you for giving me motivation to continue after slipping a little over the turkey day!

Been about 11 months for me as well and I know exactly what your talking about. Brain feeling better anxiety and concentration is better than it has been in forever. It is not something that happens in a few weeks or months but significant time.

For anyone on the fence about quitting or not seeing results in the first few months keep on going for, you will see them eventually and it is great.
