I didn't get headaches I was so lucky I am JUST paralised I never had pain but brain does recover don't let them say it doesn't I am still getting progress now after two years small but going forward. I was never one to take medicine but now if it helps you only live once. Sorry cant be of any help a huge part of my brain was killed I saw the MRI Have patience be positive meditation helps too try mindfulness give it a go it can't hurt I listen to the cd every night it's given me positivity and now My writing does that too

Hello eifion,

Each case is totally different but with similarities. I had blinding headaches daily to start. Over time they became less painful headaches and then they disappeared. I supose all this took place in about a year.

Don't do what I did which was to neck paracetamol as though it was going out of fashion. My liver is now a little ruined with the sheer anount I took and none of it helped anyway.

Regards

Paul

Hi, can't give a time frame just need to have patience and hope, I didn't have op just ABI from encephalitis the neurologist at the rehab unit said something that keeps me grounded, "this might be as good as it gets!" not what you want to hear but that was over 12 months ago and I have made small improvements, I'm forever the optimist and I'm 60 now with less time left for improvements but when I wake every day I hope for just a little improvement, I was told it's a long haul and they're not wrong, chin up and keep on smiling when you can, lots of love x

Mmmm. What medicine company do you rep for? Circumstantial stories. Medical professionals undertake rigorous training and assessment to be able to prescribe meds, in the case of a reaction then its their heads on the blocks.
