hi donna , i sent off esa when my sick pay ran out, i did it on the internet then they phoned to fill in form,then 2 wks after they phoned to say i wasnt entitled but i cant remember if it was because of a wage of more than £100 coming in or i didnt have enough NI contributions, i kn ow its one of them ,so they told me about disability allowance, ive filled in the forms but not sent them yet the only reason being is that i see people turned down from these people who look worse than me.i can walk anywhere on a good day as long as im with someone,i went go anywhere on my own ,my memorys , my concentration is to , the dizzy spells are more know than they use to be which really knocks me sick, the consultant told me i had brain damage frontal lobe.but to look at me i look fine. so i dont know if i would get it, its making me feel anxious thinking of these tests.

hi everyone, ive not been on this forum long ,im still quiet new ,in brief 2 annies ,1 ruptured,both coiled in may 2010, headaches im use to ,even being tired and feeling sick ,i dont know about anyone else but as anyone had aching eyes, my annies were middle front of forehead and to the side of my head, my eyes seem to ache and then when i rub them and its my left eye mainly but it seems fuzzy for a few seconds then my vision goes back to normal , but it is actually like a swarm of bees, only a small swarm ,i havent got black dots everywhere, just fuzzy , is this normal for us. im going for a eye test on thursday, to see if he can shed some light on it.

hi jess, when i saw my consultant last time ,he said i did have the all clear to do anything now , i use to do a 3 mile walk everyday with my partner when he finished work but because of dark nights we dont go anymore, we use to walk around lake 3 times , because we knew it was a mile round . i dont know about you jess but i wont go anywhere on me own , wont walk the shops on me own ,wont go for a walk etc, does everyone feel like this

hi rhiann, thanks ,its nice to here people are going threw the same , my dr is referring me to sumit like neurophycholigist ,i think thats right just to help me threw it, my kids and partner all seem to think because im up and about that im me again, but i dont want go down that same road again , i was always on the go to the moment i got up til i went bed, this was 24 7 ,i dont want people to feel sorry for me ,i just want them to know that i might look alright on the outside but its the inside where everythings going on, we all just seem to hide it good. thanks dawn

hi everyone, im new here ,i have posted about myself today, the thing is as anyone done any exercise ,and if so how far can you push yourself,ive put 2stone on in the last 5 months and im finding walking up the stairs ,getting out of breath ,so need to exercise before it gets out of hand. also im getting this burning sensation around where my annie was ,is this normal. thanks dawn x

hi tracy, i to was like this ,at first i was really bad ,then i started getting a few days where it was good,so i would make the most of those days then i would end up in bed for a week,then i was going 2wks good then 2 wks bad,but this month ive been really bad its like im going back again ,ive had all the tests done and everything is normal, i know i have brain damage to the frontal lobe but thats where my short memory issue comes into it,but the sore spots on my head and my eyes hurting and tightness across the forehead really get me down, i just hope that i get my good days back again.dawn x

hi donna, the ad im not taking, ive never really took them, because i always said i didnt have anxiety they were trying to treat me for something i didnt have , i try not to take my pain killers because i think it might be rebound headaches, i dont know about you but when it comes round to my cycle ,i get really bad headaches and dizzys, i just want to know ,does it ever get easier, i just want be normal, the memory thing is awful and embarrassing, not to others just for me. dawn x

im getting waves of feeling lightheaded as well

hi everyone, im mum of 3 with a loving partner,for the last 7 years or so ,i kept going to the docs about headaches ,feeling dizzy, thery just kept saying anxiety , but i kept saying that i had nothing wrong with my head it was just these symptoms, they kept palming me off with AD,which i would take then stop them cause i couldnt cope with side effects,so then came across a site called power surge, its about menopause ,my hormones were all out of whack so this is what i put it down to ie,dizzys,headaches,blurry vision etc, just learned to deal with it. then 1 day 23rd may 2010 i went to pick my son up from my brothers, we were just chatting all of a sudden ,i bent forward and it was like when you yawn your ears feel muffled then they pop, but they didnt pop then came the headache,my partner sat me down ,then i started to shake,they phoned for an ambulance ,rushed me off,got to the hospital i started to scream cause of the lights and thats all i could remember.i ended up with 2 aneurysms ,one which burst,they coiled both ,was in hospital for 2 wks ,ive had all the tests done since then i.e ct,mri,angio everything came back fine. i went to see consultant after all tests he said the good news is that im prob healthy as my partner cus of all the tests done , but the bad news is i have brain damage frontal lobe. this means my concentration isnt good and my short term memory isnt either. my headaches seem to be 2 wks on 2 wks off, but just lately i feel as though my head feels bruised and tender spots, and i have the feeling of passing out which comes from the back of the head then it passes and the cold water sensation over my head now thats weird, i dont know anyone else but when i get the headaches my eyes really ache and my forehead where the anerysm burst ,tingles and feels tight, i also i get the feeling sick that comes and goes it comes in waves, i know this seems long but i dont know who to talk to,but is this all normal.
