Hi Lise366!

I'm just 3 weeks postoperative. It was not a straight forward recovery but I am getting there slowly. I am thinking of you and I wish you all the best.  

In my opinion, UK neurosurgeons are very high skilled and you will be in good hands. It is normal to be scared as I was dreadfully scared and cried non stop from October.  I still feel weak.  I am grateful and thank God that I can live and see my children grow.  All the best and I will pray for you.

Maya

Thank you  very much  Super Mario.I wish you a Happy New as well. Thank you very much for all support and encouragement  for the last 2 month.I am stil on my course and manage to do my tutorial which you encourage me to continue . We didn't buy any present  for children  but my husband  decorated very beatifully house and bought a goose which unfortunately  we couldn't eat.

But NHS  is great they gave her so many  presents  she managed to share with little brother. We are lucky in UK here to have NHS and such  skilled doctors. I pray to God the results  come negative  and we can go home. All the best wishes  to all of you and a Happy  New Year.

Maya 

Thank you very much Debbie, Tina,Win and everybody  who support through my difficult time.I wish everybody Merry  Christmas  and a Happy  new year.  I am in hospital with my middle  daughter  .She had a chickenpox  and developed complication  she had swollen knee and couldn't walk.I was devastated  as was query  sepsis. I thank the God that she feel a little bit better.I am absolutely  emotionally  drained with all events happening in my life.Thank you very much for listening  me and giving me such support.

Thank you very much  Tina and Wn for your reassuring  messages. I had a letter from Consultant saying  that they want to see me on 11th of January. I assume they already know which treatment to proceed with.

Hi everybody!  I have seen my registrar last week and he mentioned  that because of the shape and neck, they will probably consider endovascular treatment,  but still waiting for Consultants meeting to make last decision. Can anybody give me advice please, has anyone had this treatment for ophtalmic segment aneurysm?

Has anybody experienced  burning sensation in the top of your head?

Thank you very much.

Hi Suzie. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

I have my Richard.  I am having tests with dye tomorrow and after they will decide about surgery. Mine is left para ophtalmic aneurysm. I was reading in the posts, some people experience  poor eyesight  after surgery. I am  so worried for tomorrow.

I had my scan and I have a very bad cough. I have had antibiotics  and the doctor said we can't  give any more as they think it's  a virus.  I am worried about my test in case I start coughing. I will let you know how everything goes. Thank you very much and wish you a speedy recovery. 

Maya.

Hi Suzie!

I follow your posts since October when I have been diagnosed as we have something similar. You did experience headaches and  were worried that time .I am very happy for you that you step forward and on the way to recovery.

I am doing my nursing course still go to uni and struggle with my headache and fatigue. Sometimes think why  am doing this, It doesn't make sense because I will go through brain surgery. I am so devastated as I have little kids. I would like to know how are coping with your daily activities.

Thank you very much for listening.

Hi everyone! Thank you very much for your warm words and reassurance. I have got a letter yesterday  and I wil have dyed MRI on the 6th of December.  I am counting  my days and feeling anxious.I went to university  last week. The lectures was so interesting  everybody  have fun but I was absolutely  on different  planet.It is so hard to concentrate. Thank you very much for all kind words and support.

Maya

I  have had a very bad cough for a week. Yesterday went to see GP. He prescribed  me antibiotics and said cough doesn't affect my aneurysm to burst or to grow. However I have read in some American post that coughing can affect aneurysm. Anybody know if coughing can trigger aneurysm.

Thank you very much for all your support  and time. I was a very busy woman with my children, study, doing agency job meanwhile. Now everythings changed, I am so depressed. So sorry.

Maya

Thank you Bagpuss.

Mine is 6 7 mm. They will do something. My worries is,  ophthalmic artery and I could lose my eyesight. At the moment  I feel a lot of pressure  in my head. If I didn't have the pressure in my head and feeling unbalanced,  maybe I could concentrate  on something else, but i'ts always on my mind.

Hi Paul 99!

Thank you so much for your letter. I will try to spend more time with the youngest children. I was so depressed  last 4 weeks. Last night my little daughter said Mummy I am scared that when you go in to hospital you never come back.

I know I have to be strong but it is so difficult. Thank you very much for all your support. I feel better now.

Maya

HI Macca!

Thank you so much for your time to write such a reassuring  letter. At the moment  I feel like lost.  All my friend at uni encourage  me to continue but personally  I don't know what is waiting for me. I keep reading all the people affected  by aneyresm stories and became more concern. My aneurysm on the left ophtalmic artery which  considered  difficult to treat.I haven't  seen consultant yet .

It is going to be  on the 10th of January. I am sorry to say buy I feel  so stressed and devastated. When I look at my youngest  he is stil so small and what if I will not be around. If I can turn the time back I would never have resigned  from nhs and started my nursing  course. So many things in my head.  Sorry to tell you about my feelings.

Maya

Thank you so much for all support.You are all so wonderful  people. I felt a little bit better but stil  can't  stop thinking  .

Thank you very much for your support  and reassurance. Probably  you are right  I have to put my trust on God. I have been 7 years work for nhs and last year decided  to do my nursing degree. I am 44  and 2nd year student. I don't know  what to do, leave the course  or continue. I have little children,  instead of running  to uni spend time with kids becouse the future is unpredictable.

Can anybody give me advice please.

Thank you.

Oh dear Super Mario . I've been so many times at Gp and emergency  twice. Gp sent twice urgent  letter  but UCLH  doesn't  consider  its  urgent case. I have family and children  they are very supportive. But it's  me I have to understand  stressing  myself doesn't help. And at the same I can't stop thinking  about it.

I was working  for 7 years for nhs and last year I decided  to do my nursing  course  .Now  I don't  know what to do leave or carry on until it will be clear what treatment. I was sitting at home for weeks and feel more depressed. And at the same time do not know what future is ahead. I have little  children  8 and 4. Thank you very much for your reply. Any doctors you can recommend. Thanks a lot. God bless  you.
