@sears, and all...Thanks for the continued hugs and thoughts.
My so is somewhat better at this point, March 2023. He'll never recover from the hell he experienced when abruptly taken off Klonopin. He was a brilliant man, since he was very young I knew I had my hands full caring for a fun, happy, delightful, handsome and very bright child. I did. He became a very good immigration atty with his own successful practice.
Since 35, he's 100%disabled with dystonia, in constant varying degrees of acute pain, chronic pain, movement limitations and jerking.
Since taken abruptly off klonopin by a large medical group, after spending several days in hospital with heart issues, seizures, rages, depression and many more symptoms and months of horrible withdrawal symptoms, he had a total meltdown and was in hospital again for a week.
All that said, he's not recovered. He's getting the first dedicated help from folks who actually understand his situation. It took me 20 years to get him help.
He visits with a cervical pain PT specialist who works so quietly, calm and gently focused, to slowly help him find pain relief.
He sees a Dr. Of neuro-psychology w/specialty in pain, and will visit the movement disorder clinic at the U. of Florida, Gainesville, later this week. All these resources came from my deep research, calling and using every contact to find help. God guided me at this last moment to the help he needed.
He'll never recover.. perhaps reduce pain? Reduce rages and mental issues from sudden klonopin withdrawal. Cognitive ability is diminishing. Going. There's so much he'll never improve, but we're hoping to get him established with ongoing care for rest of his life. I'm 76 and have multiple health issues. After I'm gone, he's alone. No one to talk with, share, etc. No legal help as he was disabled, hadost his ability to earn, etc so no money losses to recover. Just near death, horrible pain, brain I nurses, losses, etc. But, no legal recourse.
So, work hard to be your best with what you have. Be in control. Ask questions. Advocate for yourself.
Be blessed.elizabeth
