Hi Lyn and Gray A very warm welcome to you both. It is such a very hard time for all involved. Turns your whole life upside down and your emotions haywire. I am glad you are both on a waiting list for counselling.....i know it is a long wait....dont know if you were given this option, but i put my name down for last minute cancellations. Also keep on the case...chase it up. You will find lots of support and information on here, BTG has been a God send to me . I wish you both all the best and look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Caz Well done you on your return to work ! I cant help with advice either, as have not yet returned, hope to in the New Year. All i can say about the housework side is, it will wait, dont do yourself in trying to do everything. When i go back i am going to ask my husband and two kids to help out as much as they can. My kids are grown up, so should not be too much to ask! Make sure you rest up lots and dont over do it as Rod has just said. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Ali....hope you are feeling better...thinking of you both...take care love Tina xx

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
