Hi everyone, I hope all is well. Today was week #2 I walked on the treadmill. The pace was a little faster than last week. I did 10 minutes last week and 23 minutes today. YAY!

I'm not ready to run...still trying to totally get my balance back. We did a lot of exercises today to help with my vestibular system too. I'm getting excited.

Also more good news...a lot of you know that I have been weaning off of Lorazepam for months. My dosage was .5mg 1x a day. I am now down to 1/4 of a tablet once a day! YAHOO! I am starting to feel less in the clouds and knock on wood...my balance has been better the past few days.

Just wanted to share some good news!!!!

You both are welcome!!! I am very happy as well. I will say I am getting some help with weaning a couple of supplements and herbal remedies. Weaning off of a benzo is no joke. Even the small dose I was on...its like my brain became dependent on it. But I will slowly wean until I'm on nothing.

I was so excited about my past 3 weeks of sessions. My body wants to work out and get back to normal and I think my brain is starting to catch on which is exciting!

Stay tuned for more news!

Cheers!
