UK442 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Re: Eureka!! Tick - I am not over-reacting or looking for problems that aren't there Tick - this is what I know those around me think Tick- YOU should be proud of all you have been & continue to deal with Tick- original post mentioned so many things that I have been 'struggling' with over the last few years and recognise,. Tick- have been told by my GP that I am depressed Tick- suffering from stress blah, blah, blah Tick- ignoring or not listening to what I feel are my real issues Tick- memory, language hesitation (verbal & written) Tick- utter fatigue lol- devoid of all fluffiness. Tick- I feel nothing, Tick- long conversations bore me, Tick- little to no empathy Tick- not simply an "attention seeker" (how I've been made to feel!?!) Tick- found work more than challenging Tick- ability to cope deteriorating Tick- finally left Tick- I am not the person I used to be Tick- how do I explain this without sounding like a 'whining child looking for excuses?' YAY! -Your post & this thread ... has helped at least one person. Tick - I may just copy & take this with me Well done for coming back, that's progress! and took some effort I guess. Hope you can find the energy to keep coming back. NB - confrontation fear, social engagement incompetence - funnily enough this is better for me now than it was before!

Mum of five Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi "the quine" sorry I don't know your name. I feel truly privileged to have given you even the slightest bit of support. I have read and reread your post and can relate to everything you are experiencing. It is not your imagination nor are you an attention seeker. You like myself and everyone else on this site provide free research for the specialists. We talk when the other 50% of sufferers didn't make it to have their say. We are the support for the 50% that beat the odds to survive and more importantly we are the sounding board and comfort when the medical doors get shut in our faces. Walk a day in our lives and you will only just begin to acknowledge what has happened to us, how far we have come on our individual journeys but more acutely just how very far we still have to go to achieve part of what we used to take for granted. Please go to your doctor and show them not just my post but every single reply it has generated because we can all help you. What you feel is real, what you say is valid just because it isn't visible makes it no less deserving of their time. It is up to us to fight for help not because they don't want to help but because they haven't walked a day in our shoes. To make you smile my mother who also had a sah just coming up two years ago is going for her first mri tomorrow as she still has two more unruptured aneurysms in her head. As you can imagine conversations between us can be amusing add that to the fact she is not a conventional parent ( cutting her hair with pinking shears when it annoys her, drilling completely through a wall to put a shelf up) who does everything herself albeit rather badly. So you can imagine my horror when she sent a text today saying how much better and lighter she felt now that she was "metal free", it had taken a while and she only managed it after "using copious amounts of veg oil". I have visions of her trying to remove her shunt, the coils in her head all sorts when she calmly pipes up that she is now finally........jewellery free for the scan. I couldn't stop smiling Take care all, we have all just completed another day Anita X 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
