I was hit pretty hard in 2010, it took about 9 years of hard work to get back to a point where I am not noticing effects every minute. The tingling was maddening, the numbness was also tough, weak, agitated, tired all of that. It was really bad. After 5 years I had pretty much given up on feeling remotely ok. But for me at least it gradually got better. Here I am 9 years later proof that even if it takes forever it does get way better in some cases. As for me I am so glad to feel better that it really doesn’t matter how long it took, I am just glad today wasn’t torture and that is not meant to sound negative, makes me really appreciate today.
