iola Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi everyone, It has been quite awhile since i visited and always glad to see familiar faces/names and everyone always helping the other. It will be 9 years for me in Apr and I can hardly believe it. I do have setbacks and I still have the heaviness and headaches but I deal with it. What always knocks me back are the head swooshes i get out of the blue. Just sitting there minding my own business and I get this sensation like I got up and whirled around really fast. It lasts only a second and really does not hurt but it sets me back and ole anxiety creeps in. I get my yearly MRIs so from what the drs can tell my brain is fine but it is so scary and frustrating. Does anyone else ever get them out of the blue? They go away for a long time and then I get one. Hate’m. iola aka... “i” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi Iola Lovely to hear from you. Cant believe its been 9 years ! I too still get the head swooshing out of the blue sometimes. I am 14 years down the line. It tends to be if i have been over doing it but also happens occasionally when not doing anything at all. Like you, when this happened a lot in the early days i went to the hospital to be checked out. All was fine. I recently had this and felt quite unwell too. I have put it down to stress , i lost my lovely Mum to cancer and been supporting and helping my Dad who also has cancer. Also have ongoing other health problems. I think it is your body giving you a gentle reminder to slow down. Its good your yearly MRI's give you peace of mind all is ok Hope your head swoosh stays away. Take good care Iola and keep in touch. Love Tina xx 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esedlock Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi I. I am actually called E so I love that. I get brain zaps but I am only five months out. The worst is the anxiety from it but know that it us normal. It actually helps me to do some breathing exercises after I have one to calm my nervous system. That might help you too! Thanks for being so awesome and inspiring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
