Hi Diane...must be so hard for you to cope with....sending you hugs. As the others have already said, i think your GP or as John has said Clinical Neuropsycologist. Dont give up....recovery is sometimes very long. But with the right help Mark should hopefully improve. I wish you both all the best...take care love Tina xx

Hi Anne...like Janet...i cant advise on the actual aneurysm. My aneurysm ruptured, it was only 2mm but a severe bleed at the stem of my brain, basilar tip. I was told if i did not have it clipped it would bleed again at anytime and i would die. Mine was not suitable for coiling. I had to wait 12 days for my brain to reduce from severe swelling, before they could operate, in intensive care. I was given 10/20% odds of surviving. I had to say goodbye to all my family . After 7 hours of surgery i survived. :) It is an incredibly hard decision that only he can make, taking into account his Consultants advice. It was a horrendous time for all my family....but just wanted to give you hope.....against the odds i did survive.

Hi Nita Congratulations on your 4th Anni-versary....take care love Tina xx

Hi Maggie A belated Happy Birthday to you and welcome to BTG Is very early days for you....rest up lots and listen to your body...look forward to hearing more from you. Take care love Tina xx

Hi Lisa a very warm welcome to BTG...really hope the upset between your family sorts out ...you really dont need that! Good luck at Headway...take care Love Tina xx

Hi Anne I am a month ahead of you and also suffer from bad fatigue bouts...but i do tend to push myself and dont always rest up when i know i should and have been unwell recently. I agree with both Karen and Maggie, get yourself checked out, it could be something simple to sort out. Plus you had a lot of stress with the job situation etc...it all adds up. Please take care Anne, let us know how you get on. Love Tina xx

Hi Saffy Yes my eyes still go blurry ...ease up and then when tired or stressed go blurry again. I am nearly 2.5 years down the line....i think i will always have this now, but never say never Its very early days for you after your operation...i am sure you will improve. Take care love Tina xx

Well done John 6 months down the line you have done very well ! Like you , I still have short term memory, extreme tiredness, cant multi task and get frustrated that i cant do these things like i did before. I think KeithB has a good way to look at it...try not to see them as problems...find ways to get round them...i am still trying but getting there. Take care John and keep positive...you will get there. Love Tina xx

Good luck Laanka As Kel has said...take it easy...pace yourself...take care and let us know how you get on. xx
