- Windows and Waves from Benzo withdrawal. How I cope on bad days when I'm in a wave. From cold showering, to a new diet, to mediation and what I do when I have anxiety and panic attacks. The personal tools I use to make it through bad and very bad days. Never Give up!
We need to all file a class action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical companies for drug misrepresentation. Klonipin is manufactured by Genentech.
Emmanuel Vacakis how does this happen?
Emmanuel Vacakis yes. Please.
They started giving them to me 13 yrs ago. I've been weening for one year. I am definitely on board. Just tell me what to do
I totally agree. Is there one started?
@@OldSal-d8h no. There needs to be one started. This problem is far worse than the pandemic. It’s impossible to take on the pharmaceutical companies individually. You can sue them but you won’t win. The only way to beat them individually is to not take their drugs and not go to a psychiatrist. But simply eat organically grown vegetables and grains and avoid sugar in any form including fruits. Don’t support McDonalds and Coca Cola or any other fast food joint or carbonated beverage. That’s what’s responsible for the pandemic as well. 18,000 have died or have had severe side effects from the vaccine. 99.7% of those who get the coronavirus survive. Those that don’t have had other serious health issues that compromised their immune systems.
I want my life back.
@K.R. Hoffman how?
I hope you have it back by now my brother!
Facts
How are you
I’m sure this is going on with us!
Stay strong. Going on two months. Was on xanax for 32 years. It does get better. Peace
Your story is mine to a T!! We are stronger than we think! Hang in there 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So glad that there's all this information available from the experts( people that are going and gone through it) .The so called professionals know nothing but that doesn't mean they or their family will never experience it. Can happen to anyone.
The professional are clueless and actually very calious about this and think we are mental idiots
I’m 6 years off a cold Turkey and sitting here in a extremely tough wave , your video really hit home with me . I live in the shower when I’m in a wave , my body temperature is always low 94-96 but I feel like I’m on fire . Unfortunately the only thing that helps me is drinking a beer or two, I know that sounds bad but it’s better than feeling like death.
How are you doing now
Benzo withdrawal Symptoms are quite real.It seems to have a pattern.
1st I have delibilating physical symptoms like blurry vision, Light sensitivity, head ace, sinus pains, was fatigue all time etc and very brutal mental symptoms like suicidal tendency, extreme depression followed.
The panic attacks just got worst during the peak of the withdrawal. I could not sleep and when i did get some sleep I Would wake up in cold sweats during the early hours. The heart was pounding so much that i could feel it running in my chest. Its like the feeling of death all day.Had stabbing chest pains and throbbing muscle pains. Couldnt take any stress what's so ever. Felt that every system of my body was failing
Imagine having a headache that lasted 24/7 for months.
Then after a month or 2.The extreme anxiety, running heart, throbbing chest pains subsided 70%. The negative, sucildal thoughts has to do With the anxiety. So with the reduction of anxiety that too went down. Body function like digestion improved
Then Ringging of ears started /got noticible. The blurry vision, on and off Head ace, depression, stayed for longer and was getting better very very gradually
Later one or 2 months more and the agrophobia, social anxiety got better, I was staying mostly indoors but started to stay more out of my bed and got my smile back.
Again some days are better than other. Some are worst. I try recording them in a diary so that i can track my improvements.
Don't expect much improvement till month 6.
It made me very conscious about my self and my body. Now i eat better, had quit all bad habits, I'm clear about my goals.
The Fatigue, inability to take stress, mood swings, vision, ear problems will be the last symptoms to exit ur body.
This evil medicine makes one thing that he will never heal. Breaks you mentally
But again don't loose hope. Everyone heals eventually.
Thank you. is this post after you stopped. I'm about 4 months out from a jump. My tinnitus is brutal non stop and I have head pounding this is going non stop for 9 months
Motog Gaming are you healed now can you go back to your life as much as normal
How are you now?
6 months I’m a year off and it’s fucking bad can’t even fucking eat
Yes indeed I totally went to a attorney and did a will . Wow it’s so amazing and strangely comforting so many of us have to same symptoms and reactions . I went fir a few years not knowing what was wrong with me but once I figured it out and found this community it was a big help . Thanks for speaking out for the masses harmed.
Lorne Breasure can we do a class act law suit? Anyone tried?
I took up crocheting. Very relaxing & it lets you focus on something other than what you are going through.
What a blessing it is you're able to work from home! I'm sorry about the tinnitus, that sounds fucking awful. That's about the only symptom I haven't had (thank God) . I'm 11 months off klonopin and fighting the good fight with ya brother, hang in there an, I'm rooting for ya :)
You're doing everything right. Distraction, distraction, distraction. Me personally I play guitar about 5 to 6 hours a day and I also train for endurance races. I ran my first marathon while in the grips of this and I'm training for my first half iron man. Getting all that excess energy out has been helpful for anxiety/cabin fever and it makes me feel like I'm not completely "wasting away". I'm still unable to be around people which to me is the WORST symptom because like you I usually have a big personality and LOVE connecting with people. But yeah man just find something that gives you a little bit of pleasure and then do it all day lol that's what I do. As far as suicidal ideation goes, once again, just distract, distract, distract. Time heals all is what people keep telling me and I believe them. Keep fighting!
@@roberthazouri3236 how r u now
What I have always experienced, is the reason I am on them in the first place, always comes back. I do believe people can get off of them. I just believe we are all different. It doesn't bother me to take 3x.5 a day. I work in a psychiatric hospital and sir you definitely have what it takes to get off the meds. You are determined and committed. You know of course the term, imagine and it will be. So Will it be for you.
Very powerful message!!! Me as well I had this symptom of intrusive thoughts but thank god I realized that these thoughts were not mine. So I refused to accept them and reminded myself of my own power
How are you. I am having intense body pain back arms legs. Lower back and crazy itching. Always stomach issues and I feel like my hands and feet hurt so bad. I only was on Ativan for 6 weeks .75 I went down to .25. I am so made at my GP. I had one panic attack and this is where I am at
My PCP (Primary Care Physician) recommended coconut water for replenishing electrolytes & I use Zero Vitamin Water that seems to help with this, what seems a continuous battle of dehydration/dizziness/cotton mouth! I had to drop down to coming off at the highest recommended rate of 10%/month to 5%/month & that has helped me to be able to read again & handle the other symptoms...tinnitus is so much better & I’m gaining weight...finally made it back up from 81lbs to 102lbs, since gaining my appetite back & catching glimpses of my old silly & fun-loving self! It’s like Night & day! I have 519 days to go, or so...but I see that beautiful light at the end of this horrible Benzodiazepine withdrawal (really Central Nervous System Injury - stated by an informed MD on Mad in America.) Best wishes to you, Robert! Glad this came up in my videos! 🙏🏼💕🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 You will get yourself back! 😊
God bless you!! I relate to this so much. I’m in early recovery, just left detox 3 weeks ago and off 3mg of klonopin after being prescribed it for 3 years along with prescribed adderall! These doctors are crazy. I relate to being so out going and doing so many things and now I feel so irritated and just want to be alone.

Too many other bad things happened in my life for several years before I even began the withdrawal. Money is gone finances are wrecked, took away my ability to work and will to live. This society sucks and I won’t miss it.
Absalutly true... A Goddamn outrage!!!
Same boat here. I truly do want to be done with clonazepam. But being unemployed, sleeping on my mother's couch (I'm 47! Ugh) as the last resort from being homeless, dealing with my existing depression and mood disorders, I literally can't afford to deal with this now. I have had to resort to selling some treasured books and ancient coins to have money to live off of. It's all I've got left... already lost a marriage and a house and become a visitation parent. Trash collectors are more helpful than useless doctors and other so called providers... at least the garbage man does something to improve my environment... ugh... it is only online that I have found help. We, the patients and victims are the only true experts. Like only a fish knows what life in water is like, only those who experience benzo hell know what it's like. Take a fish out of water, it dies... take benzos out of us, we suffer, and many do die.
The most important thing is to pray to God for Help. God Is our One Creator. God Is always With us. God Always Hears us and Sees us. Love God with all your heart. I ask God humbly to Bless you.

Good to see you sharing your story. I'm 3 months off a year long taper from Valium. I took it for 10 years for migraines. It's been rough but I'm hanging in there. I never had anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts until I started coming off Valium. Keep fighting the fight, Robert. You will get your life back and then some. The brain heals! 💖
good for you. My target date is Aug 15th to jump again. I just can't wait to get there. I'm hoping that when that happens and as my gaga center heals it will reduce the tinnitus. God I hope so
Benzo Withdrawal - Robert I have many ppl I speak with that are going through Benzo withdrawal and tinnitus seems to be the last thing to dissipate. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing it just takes time. 🙂
@@redpeach8416 I hope you are feeling much better. I was also prescribed Valium 10mg nightly for 10 years. I am in my first month of tapering off. It is very difficult and scary.
@Truus Hogendoorn I'm now down to 4mg. My taper began in March.
I'm hanging in there, but things are still difficult.
The tinnitus drives me crazy and insomnia is terrible. I'm very tired and rarely leave home. I hope we all heal after the difficult taper.
How are you doing?
(Thanks for checking on me).
@Truus Hogendoorn Yes, pain is worse for sure.
I'm cutting .5mg about every 20 - 30 days depending on how I'm doing.
I'm sure there are better methods of cutting, but I'm not feeling up to doing calculations with weighing and mixing with liquids, etc
How much are you cutting?
I sooo know what you are talking about! Same here with tinnitus till I dropped my decrease to 5% per month, instead of the recommended 10% per month. Thank goodness I learned to turn Clonazepam into a liquid to safely micro taper! Oh yeah...I can relate to this! God bless you that you are able to do any work! 😳 My goodness! I’ve been on...now 26 yrs...coming off for, just starting 4th year, but now I know how to do this safe liquid micro taper! My kitchen looks like a chemistry lab, but it’s worth it to come off!
Robert, I can relate to EVERYTHING you say. I'm 70 years old, prescribed Klonopin( Clonazapam) for 22 years.
Not once, ever, did ANY doctor, (and there have been dozens) say to me " Is the Clonazepam effective?" Ever think
of cutting down or getting off Cloazepam?" One thing I've discovered is to NEVER (sorry about the caps) discuss
Benzo taper with anyone who has not gone through the Hell we are experiencing. I NEVER sleep during the night
at many times at 3-4-5AM I am laying in bed , hands behind my head, wishing I could will myself to stop breathing.
I'm down to .5mg/24hrs. At times I cannot function. The headaches, profuse sweating(an understatement) muscle
cramps, suicidal ideation... I meditate, practice The Relaxation response, read (if I can), talk to a friend who is tapering
from Ativan(Lorazepam), try to go for a walk, but Clonazepam has made me virtually agoraphobic. My GP is worse
than useless and my Addictions Psychiatrist has abandoned me. Thank You for your videos.
Eric how r u now frd
So much appreciate this, I did my first taper of Ativan, Effexor and Wellbutrin all at one time 6 years ago, unsupervised, I had read Ashton Manual but, it was stupid to do 3 at once, I thought I was going slow enough. Boy was I wrong. Lost 95 lbs in 3 months, couldn't sleep, eat, had seizures, light, sound unbearable. Hospitalized 3 weeks. Bed bound 2+ years. Thought I was going to die, in fact wanted to. 6 years later once again tapering from Clonazepam @ 1.75 mg now ( was up to 6 mg. When new PDoc took over my case. They still do not accept Benzo Withdrawl, and tell you your in the Benzo Lifer Club. No way. I am taking control of my taper. Waves Yikes, horrible. Been on these Devil Drugs 40 years. Don't even know the real me. Prescribed in early 20's. My brain is so injured at this point. Only way out is through, but it will be at my own pace... The best to you, just found your channel. Will follow your progress.
mama baehr - Thank you for this post from three years ago. I also was on multiple drugs for many years. Now I've completed a full year off all pharmaceuticals, but it's still a struggle. Please come back and tell us how you are doing now.
I could not sleep and that's how I got put on klonopin.....I am on 1 mg and still wake up and can't sleep......HELP what can I take to sleep....please help....
Thank you for this. I was on .5 mg xanax along with ambien at night as well. I thought I had lung cancer, the back pain is so bad. I hope you feel better soon.

I've had to reinstate on Benzos 😢
It was that or die. After 25 years taken as prescribed 8mg of Xanax and being cut off Cold Turkey I was in Hell for over 3 years. I have Cancer and I was willing to let it take Me. I found Dr B. and he understood what I was going through. My brain will never be the same after 25 years. I can't live without it. Some people will hate Me for reinstating, but if I was going to live, I had to. I'm doing much better now and I'm fortunate that I'm 2 hrs from Dr B. He's a great Doctor and knows his drugs.
How are you doing?
I hope your issues resolve themselves. My issues aren't Benzo related but I want my life back too. I have no motivation to do anything.
Yesterday was bed ridden trying to stay as still as I could so my head wouldn't explode. Today I'm up and working and cleaning my house but I can see how this has taken it's toll on my body as well.
You just have to ‘gut’ your way through.....ongoing nightmare....sounds like you r doing the best you can!
Hi i hear you 🙏🏻 have u fully recovered now? The windows and waves are good to track in calendar to get a sence of when and how often and how long. That helps me.
Jesus Christ!! ... Icing down the back of the neck is right.. Burning nerve pain.. Does this fever ever leave!
Anyone taking ashwaganda and turmeric??
Holy shit brother I feel you , I’ve been off Xanax for 10 months did a fast taper of 10mg in 2 weeks witch I know is way to fast but figured if I was going through hell like that I might as well just get off of it , so I actually started the taper 12 weeks ago that went for 2 weeks n off for the past 10 ,it took me about 6 weeks to start feeling a little better n getting some real sleep then I started getting better but then a little anxiety would come back here n there but not that bad it is tolerable, but the one thing that really fucks with me is the god damn ringing in my ears it’s real bad n pain in my lower back n the dizziness n always tired , basically everything your saying I can very much relate
Yes, our central nervous systems are fucked up due to coming off this drug. My hats off to you if you are off 10 weeks on a fast taper. I'm at .12mg and tapering. Main issue is the same as you. Tinnitus. What worries me about this is I got it bad due to the rapid taper , but was reinstaed back in October and while tapering it hasn't got any better. Also I have bad back and buttocks pain as well. I saw a specialist and in words "You're in big time medication withdrawal"and tipped his hat to my efforts as he understood this is not an easy thing to do. I'm doing this because my hope is I heal instead of being sick for the rest of my life on this medication.
Look into Flumazenil! And please let me know if you try it and if it helps you heal! :) Best of luck to recover fully and never give up!!
What do y'all do for tremors when waking up
I feel your pain. I have had seizures as well.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am in my first month of tapering off of 10 years of Valium 10mg nightly. I have severe tinnitus as you have spoken of and I also have eye twitching among other symptoms. This is hell on earth. Your story gives me hope. Prayers and best wishes to you.
Very similar story to mine. 10 mg Valium is equal to .5mg of Xanax. It is truly hell especially with the tinnitus. It is my main symptom and it's way beyond awful. I feel for you. Today I'm having a rough day, but Im down to .2 mg and hope to be off this by Aug.My heart go out to you.I know first hand the suffering. I play tinnitus therapy sounds from youtube almost 24/7 drink alot of water and at cold showers help when things get bad. Take it slow. A least with Valium you can taer esier since the pills come in smaller and smaller doses. 10% every two weeks.

How long have u been off? When did you have a seizure how far off were you? Also have u had sensory overload like can’t be able to take in all the stimuli?
I'm still tapering. I had a seizure 50 days off a very rapid taper instructed by a very stupid doctor that nearly killed me. I went back on .125mg for 3 months and began tapering again and now down to .15mg per day. And yes all kinds or sensory issues with light and hearing. I'm still in the middle of all this
What are the physical symptoms of benzo withdrawal?
Hope you are well now, Robert!
another brave person
Ambien is a quasi benzo and very short acting, I had to get off that first because it was making me unstable. I am down to 1.25 of Ativan from 2.5, my mood and memory seem better, but a lot of physical waves. Also B12 can be overstimulating, but can help with energy. Good luck you are doing well!
lotiroon how it the Ativan. I am so sick so mad so upset so overwhelmed. I was on .75 for 6 weeks and I tried to go off didn’t like it now on .25 so many physical and mental torture. Who heals
Hi there! So good to see someone who is fighting the good fight with me in a positive way. I am suffering from PAWS and into my 3rd month of it. Waves, windows, tinnitus that buzzes, tickles the inside of my ears with cold feeling and vertigo. Panic and anxiety, neck and back of head pain and more.
I know I am on the road to healing but it's so frustrating and emotionally painful. I am wondering if CBD oil will maybe help or will it make my healing take longer? Anyone????
I am...What makes me this way is I have very very very bad tinnitus brought on by a rapid taper by a doctor who didn't know what he was doing and fucked me up. So on top of the benzo withdrawal stuff I have this category 5 tinnitus storm in my head with very high pitch noise 24/7 unrelenting as well and I'm surviving sometimes 1 minute at a time at times. I will give it a try.

@@sangeetalambh6389 Hello! Thank you for asking. I still have tinnitus and anxiety comes in windows and waves. My physical symptoms are getting so much better though I do have pretty bad IBS. I will take this over what I have been through in the last couple of years! I never did go to the CBD route. I felt like adding something my body that was unfamiliar to me may make things more difficult. This certainly takes a great deal of time and effort. And I mean effort and the respect of taking control of my own healing. Mind body and spirit. I hope you are well! Keep going!

It’s been an adventure and quite a journey to say the least. I wish you well and hope your healing is insightful and teaches you positivity about who you are and how much courage and strength you have. Be well!

Thx for sharing your story. Been off fast taper off 4 mg klonopin for 25 months. Suffering nearly every symptom it’s been hellacious!
I’m left with oxycodone for preexisting interstitial cystitis horrid bladder disease.
Could you help me with how to taper off 60 mg roxicodone? I’m having a hard time because klonopin has caused debilitating burning & stabbing nerve pain in my bladder & pelvis too so it’s so painful & in waves is even worse. It’s very tough to taper in this level of pain. Should I wait until I’m more healed? Thank you for your time.
I only ask bc you said you were a drug & alcohol counselor. I take as rx by my dr been 14 years though. I wa t my life back completely. I we t ct after I jumped off klonopin & blacked out ma t times from diarrhea & vertigo. I had t have three surgeries including lithotripsy bc klonopin caused me kidney stones! It’s been hell.

Good information
Hey Robert. Have you looked in to Point of Return? Might be worth checking out
I did. I got the whole sales pitch, bought the products, never heard from them again, used them for a month..worthless. All milk or milk by product items with tart cherry melatonin. A waste of money and lesson learned.
Please do an Abmian detox vid wen u get off them
I'm doing a 10% reduction every 2 weeks alone with the Clonazapin. I'm down 37%. I also weigh it and cut in grams using a jewelers scale. I have added 10mg of Melatonin to taking it as well. I sleep ok. I do wake up in the night now and I will take 1/2 a melatonin to go back to sleep, but I'n no longer groggy in the am. At 10mg the weight on a scale in grams is 126grams. I'm doing a reduction today from 90 grams down to 81grams tonight. I'm having physical issues but because I tapering both together I'm not sure what is causing what.
I am 4 months off. I don't feel like I am dying anymore but I'm not experiencing the windows I was experiencing in the 1st 2nd and 3rd month. I know healing isn't linear. I am just wondering do you heal more in some months than others or is it a consistent pace?
Cody, I'm 7 months post Klonopin w/d, Hydrcodone w/d, Morphine w/d and Gabapentin w/d after a gnarly fifteen month taper! I was doing relatively well (IE) working out six days a week etc before getting slammed with a massive WAVE last weekend! My sciatica pain has been so bad that I find myself intermittently getting in and out of the bathtub 2 to 3 times a day! As discussed in this video the buzzing in my head is once again extremely intense! I have often times heard others say "WAVES" such as these are a sign the body is HEALING..hope their right.😁👽👾👊
Hi Cody. Everyone struggles with that question. And the answer is always the same. Everyone is different but I will tell you some symptoms go away, new ones may appear but we all heal. Gratitude helps me a lot! The little things. I even, believe it or not, say "thank you for the waves...my brain is healing!"
Thank you for being here!
R C are you better. Idk how I will pull through this the pain is so bad
Hi, Robert. I am nearly a year off now from .25 mgs of Klonopin. I quit c/t but was badly kindled. I haven't dealt much with tinnitus at all but I do get plugged ears a lot. I am dealing with a very bad depressed state for nearly a year now. I can relate to what you said about suicidal ideation and am still struggling mightily. Very difficult keeping my thoughts on anything positive about the future.
Like you, I want my life back to. I am actually starting to try some supplements at this point.
We are all looking for that silver bullet to help us thru this. Caring for ones self and being kind to ourselves and understanding time is really the only thing. But having some tools in your bag when things get tough is important. Meditation, showers, work for me to move me even for an hour or two out of dark places.
How are you doing now?
Day 26 off Xanax. It is getting worse not better. I feel like my chest is collapsing and my breathing is shallow. Hopefully a window will show up soon.
My first window was at 2 1/2 months
Xanax is the beast among benzos. How did you taper?
If you feel like that see a doctor asap. My lung collapse trying to go cold turkey. Quitting can be fatal.
Tinnitus is a kidney discharge. Bladder problems are also kidney related. That’s why it’s important to eat foods that are easy on the kidneys.
I’m sorry I forgot to tell you what I do to get through my days but basically I do the same things you do , exactly what you explained only difference is I take L Theanine and GABA supplements with my daily vitamin intake of B ,C,D fish oil magnesium n drink camomile n green tea
Can you Please tell me how many l thernine do you take
I started with 200mg just to make sure how it would affect me in the morning and then 200mg before bed then a week later I started taking 750mg of a gaba supplement and I found it to help me very much
After couple weeks I went up to 400mg in the morning and 400mg before bed and still at 750gaba

Can you explain what you mean by this? Thank you so much.
I have been told it doesn't exist.
Robert, my heart goes out to you. I have been fortunate enough to have tinnitus that is unrelenting but bearable.
I did try the CBD oil and felt a calming that helped me sleep. I am, as I said previously, post taper.... in protracted acute withdraw, so not sure if it would be safe for those tapering. I just figured, what the hell?!!! I've suffered for so long, I'm going to try whatever means to find relief. I'm also trying The Keto diet, I meditate, positive affirmations daily, prayer for strength and believe this is all for some good reason. I know, even on days I want to give up, I will heal. I could write a book of all the crazy symptoms I have dealt with. Almost comical in a way. Who gets "bluefinger" during withdraw? 😂Look it up! I pray we will ALL laugh about some of the craziness later. God bless you on your journey.
Thank oyu..On day like today I need good support. In a bad wave.
I'm so sorry. I will tell you, Robert, I am slowly feeling better. Its amazing. My ears are very uncomfortable still and the sniffling and pressure as well. It's true that healing happens however. My other symptoms are improving. So much so that I forget I am in Withdraw. It WILL happen for you. I hope hope hope that you know that you will be a healthier, happy person. I thought many times I wasn't going to make it. I gave up. Cried. Such sadness. But I refuse to let this beat me! My Dr was wrong, uneducated and insensitive.
I haven't been in my right mind either towards my Dr. Part of the withdraw. I have wanted to shake him!!! Sue him, all that anger!!!! But what will that truly do for me except prolong my pain but in a different way. I forgive him....for myself or I can't move forward.
You are an amazing human being. Not many have our strength. When we feel weakest, we are strongest. You are loved.

Hi.
I didn't mean to brief. When I went off xanax I went to the hospital for two weeks and I was so sick I was bedridden for 4 years living thru panic attacks every morning followed by terrible grief and sobbing. when it became intolerable I Was hospitalized again. Nobody told me that I was having benzo withdrawal. I stayed a week. I was treated like an addict, prescribed buspar. Trazodone I finally went back to the hospital for about aloud buzzing or very fast trembling in my core and arms, Wellbutrin and gabapentin,none of which helped. I was also taking Lexapro.
I came across some articles about benzos in between listening to a lot of Alan Watts. Lots of Watts.
That was mixed up. I came home from that visit with Paxiil, 5mg vallium 2x a day and Trazodone for sleep.. I am finally stabilizing. Now I have to slowly taper off the Valium. Thing is, I am neither depressed or anxiety ridden. I have no panic attacks.
But wake up nauseous and have abdominal cramps, which go away after a few hours.
I am so relieved to know I'm not crazy and I know it's benzoo withdrawal . But I still take the Valium with a plan to taper,
I am physically weak and exhausted all the time. It is very hard to get out of the bed and and do normal stuff. Finally the weather is nice enough to go out and do a little yard work or take myself to the doctor. But I am exhausted afterwards.
When I realized what this xanax does, that my psychiatrist.let me take it for 20 years, I lost my job. And 5 years of my life i was so livid, like, who the heck I can sue..
I found your method a much more positive way to get my life back.
Stay in touch. I hope some of this is informative.

How are you now?
Best of luck to you. Btw, Einstein was an incorrigible plagiarist.
LOl...what I mean is I look out and see the vastness of it all, and feel small but I'm part of the whole, like a drop of water in the ocean that makes up a wave.
I’m just having fun. 😉 Hope things are getting better.
How are you now?
