Hi Mitchy
I know it is very old post, but just wondering how are you? I am exactly as you have described - 7 months and still up and down.. One day so hopefull and next day crushing, crying, feeling hopeless and thinking i will never feel as myself again.. Just wondering have you recovered ? Assuming you have not posted on this site anymore, you are feeling great and living your life to the fullest. Please give me some hope if possible..
