Hi there

warm welcome.

Yes taking someone with you for support and to take in what's being said is a great idea..

I would say try not to worry but that's easier said than done.

sending you all the best

Hi there

lots of good replies as normal sorry cant add about the hair mines eventually grew to look normal but wasn't like yours.

Wow! that's quick to get back to work but understand about being in the US so try to take it easy when you can..

Yes as time passes it gets a little better and you'll find that what works wither its post-it notes or leave yourself a reminder on your phone I have about 4 kitchen timers I used to forget with things were in the oven or on the stove, I had to buy a toaster because it was just not the thing to have bread under the grill.

Mines was terrible in the beginning it has improved but when I'm tired its back to how it was, but however my memory was affected badly I have learned to live and adapt with it...

Warm welcome to the site glad that you found us.

Take care, don't overdo things, listen to your body keep hydrated..

Take care.

Totally agree with Super swallow that pride and use the stick, I've had falls too and now have a crutch don't like it but hey...

and I doubt you'd be waisting the GP time with silly questions either, maybe a good idea to get an appointment...

Ditto SM Swallow your pride, use a stick and get out there...

I was on anti-seizure meds for a year & boy were they hard to come off, so if you don't need them then good.

also if you were on them then you wouldn't be able to drive...

Hi Deb

Sorry to hear things aren't too good you shouldn't have to struggle - have you seen your GP or the Neuro department don't suffer with it hun.

Emailing a neuro nurse that isn't replying is no good at all another one of those system things that makes my blood boil...

Yep if your stressed that could make the headaches a lot, lot worse, are you keeping well hydrated another factor with the headachs...

I hope you manage to find some relief, take care and try to find time to rest I know its hard...

I was still seeing improvements at the 3yr mark so don't worry.. and sometimes there are improvements, you just dont notice them...

Hi there

Warm welcome to the site, glad that you found us.

Hi there warm welcome glad you found us.

3 months is quick, if your concerned see the GP.

Good advice as normal so I will keep it short. 

Take care of yourself too. 

Hi David

Hey Luke

Hope all's going ok, and yes I hope you've contacted Social Services & or.,  Please don't take on everything although that is noble you'll burn out and be no used to anyone sorry I'm blunt but have seen it with my family...
