Hi Donna I had a drain in both times used to pull mine along on a wheelie thing it was horrid, oh well never mind. Don't think I have any side effects of it. Jess.xxx

Hi Donna you would know I expect it would of shown up and yes they would of told you, Jess.xxx

All the questions you are asking now mirrors my own when mine first went.

Hi Donna go and enjoy yourself if anything was gonna happen it would happen wherever you are which it isn't just go and have a great time. Jess.xxx

Welcome to the group. Jess.xxx

Hi there Donna I can't remember wether you had clips or coils now, however I was told to wait at least one year before becoming pregnant as you all know I was pregnant within a couple of weeks after my second op. The time you have to wait has now been reduced to 6months however it may mean a c-section, however I wouldn't let that put me off having another child. I would personally go and speak with your doctor if you are considering another child, However I will be here to help with whatever questions you need help with.

I beleive that we will onlty get pregnant when we are strong enough to carry a baby however I wouldn't follow that last piece. Jess.xxx

GOODLUCK

Sorry Marie I couldn't tell you I had no more scans or anything but I had clips sorry sure someone else will be able to tell you more. Jess.xxx

Hi Donna if I were you I would speak to your doctor about getting physio, sorry cannot be of more help. Jess.xxx

Hi there yes I was terrible when I had mine but to sort myself out I had two kids lol. Not alot of help I know but if you have kids you have to look after them don't you. Jess.xxx Oh and I returned to work two months after my second op.

Hi Donna it kinda goes in time but I have days like that even now but they are very few and far between. Jess.xxx

Not only that we survived once before so we probably will again.

Hi Donna sorry I don't know anything about those tablets, Donna it will get easier. Jess.xxx

There we go Donna its took me nearly 6yrs to describe that feeling but I am still here to tell the tale. LOL. I don't really worry about it to much anymore if it was anything serious I guess something would of happened by now. Anything else you need to know Donna just ask. Jess.xxx

Hi Donna I think I know what your saying does it feel like your brain is swelling and pushing on your skull I used to get that all the time the more anxious I got the worse it become like my ns said forget about it and it will go away do you know he was right at the time I thought you prat how insensitive is that, but looking back now I can see exactly what he meant worrying was making the dizzyness, headaches pressure everything worse because I was constantly thinking about it. Hope it gets better soon. Jess.xxx

Hi there A warm welcome to the group anything you need to know just ask I am sure one of us will know. Jess.xxx

Hi Sara Welome to BTG. It is still very early days for you so I wouldn't worry to much. I was 23 when mine ruptured I have had two clips one on the one that went and one on the other b4 it had chance too. I have had two children since so see it will get easier. You are well on the way in your recovery being back at work. Welcome again. Jess.xxx

Goodluck Dawn whenever you need to chat about anything that is worrying you just stop by one of us should be able to help, Jess.xxx

V.interesting thanks for that I had clips aswell. Jess.

Hi there Dawn I didn't have a choice with my first one has it had ruptured however the second one hadn't I still went in and had it operated on though as I don't think I could live with never knowing will today be the day it goes, sorry to scare you but if I was in your position I would certainly have the op. Goodluck with whatever you decide and keep us updated and welcome. Jess.xxx

Hi Michael I am really sorry to hear about your cousin, and welcome to the site. Jess.

Hi there mine come on a while after aswell I was petrified the first time too still get it occasionally, but there are a few of us in here who get dizzy. If you are concerned get him to see his doctor. Jess.xxx I am sure he will be fine.

Hi Leo I hope you get some sense out of someone soon the registrr who saw me was an idiot aswell he said right then we will see you next yr I said you won't and that was the last I saw of him did go back to show the neurosurgeon my baby though. Hope you get answers soon. Jess.xxx

Hi there Cal well mine happened whilst I was walking down my moms street, the first few times I did it after I felt sick and panicky however now I don't really think about it, I will occasionally think oh thats where I collapsed but it doesn't scare me anymore. However I am not sure I would be able to go up a ladder if that s where mine had happened because Jim also had the added danger of falling tell Jim to tell his boss he will do it when he is good and ready he cannot be rushed. Jess.xxxx

He will be able to do it again one day but like I say rushing him is no good it will make him worse.

Hi there I still think about mine most days and i am nearly 6yrs but they aren't bad thoughts anymore not that often it will get easier 6 months isn't all that long. Jess.xxx

Hi Phil and welcome to BTG. Anytime you want to know something just ask, and yes there is still a chance your partner may get better and I am hoping she does aswell. You never know it takes along time for the brain to heal. Anyway welcome to the group. Jess.xxx
