So , today is Monday, I awoke at 3 10 am , wow I slept for 5 hours 😃with only slight pressure to my temple, shocked an delighted with with my new found peace of mind an body I look forward to today .why ? Well since having my tab last Tuesday I have felt so I’ll icanr tell you , on my 40 p day preds from shacking to tears severe pain to temples then it returned to my head like a band of fire , pins an needles ensued in my cheeks an numbness down my complete left side .so ..I packed my bag ready for hospital (just in case ,as I’m prone also to mini strokes! But I kept my calm an voila I’m sill here . My husband has been great but I do worry as at the moment I’m having to be injected with fragmin to stop me from clotting . Only he seems to rather enjoy the process of jabbing me ,a little to much !!

Tomorrow I see my rheumatologist then in the afternoon I’ll see the ophthalmologist so I’ll let you know weds how it all went , I hope your all doing ok please be good to yourselves 🌹

Good to hear! The TAB is not to be underestimated as it is very invasive, going through a few layers, not to mention little nerves being cut. You may get odd symptoms for months, working out when to panic and when to stay calm is the trick as always.
