Hi Cat3, I had my opparation on the 3rd Sept they put 6 coils in2 the aneurysm . I've since had another scan becuz of how much pain I am still in I get the results this Tuesday.

[cat3 in reply to EVC70]

I'm not surprised you still have pain Ev ; I only had one coil and I had severe head pain for a couple of months after the op.

Your brain will still be working overtime to heal itself, so try not to be alarmed. Your op was less than two months ago, so very recent.

Please let us know how you get on on Tuesday.........I hope all goes well.

My best wishes, Cat xx

Welcome aboard, EVC70, and welcome to the "I have metal IN my head" club.

I also had years of migraines, spells on-and-off anti-depressants, and one weird phase, in my mid-20's, when they considered putting me on HRT...

In February of this year, I had the mother of all headaches, and then can't remember anything else until I woke up in hospital, post brain-surgery. One of my aneurysms, that hadn't been present on the scans I had as a teenager, had ruptured. I have two more, one of which is viable for surgery, the other isn't, waiting for a date for the surgery to coil the operable one off.

This forum is fantastic, everyone's really supportive, and we can tell it how it was for us/our family members.

But, never be worried just ask away and some thoughtful kind person with or without

a B.I. will be here to support you. Take care and the best of luck with your ongoing treatment 😃

Hi EVC70. Your post struck a cord with me. As a teenager I used to get really debilitating headaches that my doctor insisted were migraines. They got increasingly worse and none of the migraine tablets helped. After 2 years it turned out I had recurrent Hydrocephalus and was on the point of brain hemorrhage! Sorry to hear about your left sided weakness etc. But I'm glad you persevered until you got a proper diagnosis. Hopefully things can only get better for you now.

Hi Icd8, I am astounded how long it took for u 2 get a diagnosis. I know I am lucky 2 alive but I am angry that I had been 2 my doctors a number of times also had them out 2 my home twice, went 2 Sandwell hospital twice, had been admitted 2 City hospital twice. It was on the 2nd admission at City that I was transferred 2 the Queen Elizebeth, they took a look at the scan City had done and could tell straight away what was wrong. There were times that I was made 2 feel as if I was just attention seeking.
