We are here for you hun .Take care...lots of love and hugs to you...love Tinaxx

Hi Keith I wish there was a support group where i live......nothing. You do a wonderful thing......bless you. take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Lisa Mine is improving, but if tired or stressed...then yes it definitely is a lot worse.....a lot of us use post it notes to help us....and also just adapt to having to double check sometimes.......but like Jess has said ...if worried , go and see you Doctor. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi John Really hope you dont have to wait long...thinking of you. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Laura Yes it made me laugh too. ... they must be very impressed with you..... to have given you this project ...it might even help them understand a little more of what you are coping with...and managing to do so well at your job. No worries Take care Love Tinaxx

Thanks Keith, very interesting...i love listening to music...cant play unfortunately...oh actually, i can still do Londons Burning on a recorder Not very healing Love Tinaxx

Karen, what you have just written, just shows how you can beat all this and get to where you are now......and it has only been YOU that has taken control with positivity and strength, that has enabled you to move forward, accept what has happened and grab your life back. As you have said there will always be bad days along the way, but concentrating on the good and positive brings it all back in to perspective. Donna, may these postings from Karen and Jess give you the answers you are searching for. Grab your life back, concentrate on the positives, like your son and husband.....they need you. You can do this...you are strong...look how far you have come already Keep smiling, change all negatives into positives...you can do it.....we are all here for you hun Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Dawn Good luck for your scan, take care, love Tinaxx

HI Shiree I agree with Jess......worrying could be the problem...difficult i know, because you feel all over the place emotionally.....but it does get better...honest Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Anne I think all that was meant is that coiling is still in its early stages...and you are monitored regularly, so if there was to be any change it would be dealt with and sorted. So no reason for you not to have a normal life expectancy. Anne try not to worry...take care I am not a Doctor,and i am sure someone on here could explain a lot better than i, but if you are worried, a visit to your Consultant i am sure would make you feel reassured. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Keith Wow, you should be very proud of yourself and what you have achieved. I can relate to your earlier frustrations and not wanting to ask for help,i can often feel the same. But just look at you now...a real inspiration, well done you! Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Nurianna I suffered with my neck and head pressure for quite as while. Still do if i get tired. My hubby got me a bean bag type of thing that you heat up in the microwave and wrap around your neck and shoulders. I found it did help. Cant help on the stiffneck collar....but if it helps you...wear it for a couple of hours. Sometimes you have to find what is best for you....but always check with your Doctor or Consultant first. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Shiree I agree with Jess, go to your Doctors........i felt like that....i was told i was pushing too hard and i also had ear infection. That was caused by a blockage of blood and anesthetic from my surgery. I had it suctioned out...but still have the dizzy feeling and headaches. I think it is just the brain still mending....6 months is still very early days. Take care Shiree, lots of love to you hun, thinking of you, Love Tinaxx

Hi Nurianna....a very warm welcome to you Wow you have really been through it, but look how far you have come. Back to work on Monday...i wish you all the best...and well done you. Like you i have been clipped, had 7hrs surgery, have short term memory problems, balance and double vision, but on the whole like you have been very very lucky. There are lots of lovely friends here who have been through or are going through the same...we are always here to help and support you. BTG has been a Godsend to me and has helped me more than words can ever say. Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care Love Tinaxx

Hi Keith You were up late Very interesting.....will look out for your next installment. Love Tinaxx

Hi Holly my giggling chum I think we all worry about this sort of thing...it is the unknown. With coiling i believe that you have regular checks and scans...if there was a problem i am sure it would be spotted. Try not to worry....lots of hugs to you my chum....take care, keep positive, crazy woman, love ya,Tinaxx

Hi Rachel So glad to hear your brother is home...and i agree with Donna....you are a wonderful loving sister to have around, take care, Love Tinaxx
