The risk is not worth it. I got a horrible taste of what a spread would be like after taking a drug that was supposed to help me. My face, mouth and tongue were on fire. My arms tingled. Shudder.

I dread every procedure, including having my teeth cleaned, because I know there is a possibly of re-awakening the dragon in a new area. I went through weeks of hell recovering from a colonoscopy and endoscopy. A fairly short drive on Thanksgiving set me back weeks.

Now that I have had brain surgery I am queued up for a follow up, lol, "minimally invasive" procedure at 6mos., 1 year, and 3 years. OMG, so upsetting, but I had no other choice, because my aneurysm was too big to ignore.

You do not have to do this. It is not necessary to your health, happiness or appearance.
