Hi Georgia gal

You have come to the right place for sharing and answers.

Sounds like you have had a hard time of it but are getting there. It takes time, a lot of time, much more than you expect. But you will feel better eventually, you are still early days and also adjusting to your new drug therapy which will take time.

I'm now 19 months down the line and only just now feeling more positive about everything. I have learnt how to deal with the fatigue and darned memory problems but still feel I have a way to go till I perfect that! It's so easy to think  'yes I am fine, I can do that, no problem'. Then the realisation that maybe it's not that simple. But failure doesn't need to be just that, it can be a lesson on how to do it better next time.

I hope you continue to feel good and that life returns to near normality. It will take time and you will learn a new normal but you will get there.

Hi Georgia Gal,

I have had epilepsy since puberty, they got less and less but since my bleed the epilepsy has become stronger and they are horrid things to have.

Lots have to give their license back but get it back after a period of time. I had my bleed in 2009. age 63/64. (young un lol)

Get your medication right first and Good luck on your recovery xx  Epilepsy is scary and I was okay up until Docs  said I needed

a higher dose and I told them no I haven't had a fit for 6 years, they insisted and I felt like a zombie so they took me off them without slowly lowering them and I had a fit !!   My first after 6 years !! I was devastated. even though I had them since 14.

Hope you get better and better with each day that passes and any worries or to just give vent,  BTG is the place to be/come.

My Surgeon told me never stress so to stop stressing I sing !! Drives family potty lol and that's when you know you are getting better as the "pampering you" stops ha.  Good luck and keep a smile nearby it really helps xxxxx

All the Best

You guys are AMAZING!  I don't feel so abnormal now!  I was doing my research and think my problems may be due to my dental implants. Got them a little over a year ago...

Hi Georgia Gal,

Just reading there about how you wonder if your dental implants could have anything to do with your situation.  I am interested in that.  I was a dental nurse and just take all dental issues as normal but I am going to ask my dentist and my neuro consultant about dental extraction.

I had a rather difficult extraction from my lower right jaw February 2015, I had constant pain after and in the end got my dentist, (who had been my employer a few years ago), to make me something to go into the space as my jaw constantly ached. He made me a one tooth denture, which gives me relief when I wear it, but aches in the jaw when I don't.  I unfortunately had my Perimesencephalic bleed on September 9th, 2015, prior to the denture being completed, the bleed was on the right side at the back of the head.  

On getting a dental check up this year I told my dentist that I still had jaw ache where the tooth was extracted and he said I could possibly have suffered nerve damage due to the awkward extraction.  I can understand that, but have often thought nerve damaged was usually associated with numbness along the side of the face and it generally comes back to normal after a year.  It made me think.

I have to have repeated MRI scans due to an area which has shown up as "signalling" in the cerebellum, located around the area where I still get consistent head/neck pain since my haemorrhage.  I am now wondering could this possibly all be linked?  My dentist did offer an implant but I said I have had enough pain since the tooth started it problems until now that I don't want to put myself through anything more at the moment.

It does make you think if anything can be connected.  Have you found any good websites to look up information on these matters.

I am so sorry to hear about your epilepsy and having to struggle with all of that.  It makes life so very hard for you as I am sure you will be off driving again with it all happening.

Take care and keep checking in,

Regards,

Irene 

Now we have each other on BTG watch your troubles diminish as a trouble shared is a trouble halved

I have come on here all down and left laughing, of course the family think I have lost the plot lol but a good laugh can help us feel so

much better.

I had implant as the pills / Epanutin  made my gums shrink,  hence teeth have gaps and some just fell out, I paint a pretty pic of myself  ha

Hope to see you in Green room for every day chit chat soon xx

Be Well All.

Put me to shame lol ..I was going to walk around a supermarket and make it my aim as I wont get an electric one or I'll never walk,
