Thanks for the update Nelly.
I'm glad you are on the mend.Hopefully you will feel 100% soon

Hi Flip, I am doing really good now, 9 weeks since surgery and improving daily, although I am still on anti seizure meds cause when i stop them I end up fitting, memory is getting there i guess, i still forget alot and very moody now, but other than that doing great.
thanks for your kind words.

hi Nelly
good to hear you are getting better.

I have changes in my cognitive behaviour as well. I started taking anti seizure medication for trigeminal neuralgia at the same time that I went in to hospital so I don't know whether it is due to the medication or the procedure. I prefer to blame the medication.

Please keep the updates coming . I am interested in how you are going.
Us Aussies need to stick together.

Hi Flip,
I am doing really well now, how about you?
I have been off the Dilantin now for 3 weeks and no seizure (yey) although in saying that I saw my doctor today and he has placed me on some anxiety medication as I am easily stressed now.
i see my Neurosurgeon on the 24th and am meant to be having another MRI, hopefully that's all clear.
I am still rather dizzy and my vision still hasn't returned in my left eye, but as I keep telling myself, I'm here and that's the main thing.
I feel like a gold fish most days lol (my memory is terrible now) it should get better, well i can only hope lol
back to driving locally, cant go too far the concentration gets me dizzy really easily so still not back at work.
anyway would love to hear back from you
tae care Narelle

Hi all, I just thought i'd touch base,
I saw my Neurosurgeon last week, he says all is going good, I am off all medications now and don't have to see him or have another MRI until october of next year.
This is all good and great progress since my clipping in April 2011, the only things that seem to be nagging at me is since my operation my blood pressure has gone sky high and I am unable to sleep, I am getting about 2 hours a night if i am lucky, I am going off to see my GP today as my neurologist says he wants him to monitor my BP and possibly put me on medication for that (oh goody), I am suffering from alot of anxiety which i think is contributing to my sleep deprivation and blood pressure, other than that I am doing great i think lol.
anyway just thought I'd update
Take Care everyone
Narelle
