Hi Celia I am also clipped....22 months later......still have same symptoms as Janet.....numbness and painful to lie on that side. But has improved. Wasl a result of my surgery, where they cut through muscle and nerves to clip anni at stem of brain. Caused 5 nerve palsy paralysis to the right side of my face...which recovered 80 % after 4 months, still not completely back on eye brow and forehead, but a small price to pay for my life. Mine could not be coiled as was too small and had ruptured. I have been signed off now, unless any problems. With coiling i believe you have more check ups, but also get signed off when they are happy. As Janet says....clipping or coiling...the recovery/ after affects are very similar. If given the choice, i would go for clipping as Jess has said it is for life. Hope all goes well for you. Take care Love Tina xx

Good luck...thinking of you both...take care ..Love Tina xx

Hi Janet I was clipped like yourself and have numbness and fuzziness like Janet...mine is on the right hand side. I was paralysed on my right hand side but has fully recovered now. My eyesight has improved ..but when tired is awful. I agree with Janet and karen...please go to your GP it is worth checking things out. I still get nerve pain all round my eye and fore head.....am told this may never go. I am at 22 months now down the line. As the others have said...definitely go back to GP. I wish you well. Take care Love Tina xx

Keep positive John You are doing really well...is still very early days for you !! We are here for you xx

Hi John A very warm welcome to you...as Cal and Janet have said, you have come to the right place for support and advice. So sorry to hear you have lost your father....so much to cope with all at one time. Your housemate sounds extremely selfish....do they understand what has happened to you?? Have you tried to explain...maybe you should show them this web site!!! Please take your time and dont push too hard...as Cal and Janet have already said....you must rest up and take things slowly. I used to try and do everything and got the terrible shakes like you....that is your body telling you to stop....listen to your body. Don't be hard on yourself as Karen always says. Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Caz Caroline is right...it is only some clips that are not MRI safe....all clips used now are safe, same as coils. Don't worry xx Love Tina xx

Hi Kellie Me too....i hate hats but have had to when very cold....certainly does make you more sensitive to cold ! Definitely have something ready for when cold or cold wind brrrr ! Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Spike... all i can add is please take care of yourself..... i really hope things sort out for you...take care Tina xx

Hi I was clipped, but many on here have been coiled like your Mum, i know a few have been re coiled. I am sure someone here will be able to advise you. Try not to worry...easy to say i know. Did you ask Consultants why they have said will not go back in again ?? Maybe worth a call, to give you and your Mum peace of mind. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Lori A very warm welcome to you...look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Paris A very warm welcome to you....what is happening is all very normal....it is still very very early days for your partner. There is so much to cope with.....i have been through all those feelings and i am at 22 months down the line. It does get better. Just takes time and we are all different. Must be very very worrying and stressful for you too....please take care of yourself, expecting a baby any minute, bless you. Don't know if you have asked your GP for counselling....there is normally a waiting list.....but i have just had some and it really did help to talk to someone. Only a suggestion. Also when your partner feels up to it....he could become a member as well. There are lots of us here that understand what you are both going through. Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tina xx

That's good you are having all the tests...and yes hopefully will be something very minor and can get you sorted out :-D Take care xx

Hi I am not as far along as you...but did get piercing pains the first year...i now just get pains when the weather is extreme....my Consultant says it is nerve pain....mending pains. I have tried the pain killers given to me but they just knocked me out rather than deal with the pain. I would go back to your Doctor if persists just for peace of mind. Take care Love Tina xx

My GP said i did not need flu jab!!! Andi...i think i have had jabs in both of my arms....maybe she was having a bad day !! xx
