Inquiries / Re: Do my symptoms sound familiar - going crazy waiting
« Last post by stevehernes on February 18, 2025, 07:46:37 am »
How are you doing now? I can totally relate to the feeling of being overwhelmed. For me, what really helps keep my sanity intact is long walks in nature. There’s something incredibly calming about being outside, breathing in fresh air, and disconnecting from all the stresses. It’s like hitting a reset button for my mind. Thanks to services like ukwritings.com/dissertation-services, I’ve been able to manage my academic workload much more efficiently, which frees up time for activities like these. It’s amazing how just stepping outside for a while can give you a fresh perspective and help clear your head. I feel so much more at peace after a walk in the park or along a quiet trail. Taking those moments to recharge has been a game-changer for my mental health.

Microsurgical Options / Acupuncture
« Last post by Karin Mauro on February 17, 2025, 08:03:45 pm »
I am 3 months status post surgical removal of my an with a sub-occipital craniotomy. I started getting daily headaches after 1 or 2 weeks, they’re pretty uncomfortable but generally respond to Tylenol or NSAID’s. More recently my neck has been really bothering me as well. I would like to try acupuncture but it’s not covered by my insurance, except for lower back pain (weird) so I’d like to know if it would be effective before I shell out the money. I’m wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture for headaches/neck pain with good results.

AN Issues / Re: The issue of contrast with MRI

Dan I insisted on kidney function test at the time I had to have contrast for diagnosis. In fact past 6 years since treatment I still have renal, liver, thyroid and full bloods tested every year. I keep my own records and am a strong advocate for my health - every time I see the doctor I prepare exactly what I want out of the consult. I read up on my results to discuss. For example this MRI coming up I want a focus on my facial nerve (Last MRI was on trigeminal). I also request the same radiologist when I book. I insist on yearly audiograms too.

15 days now...not BPPV....part of a vestibular migraine...more loss of balance although today there was spinning  I will finally agree to an MRI, especially with history of cancer.  Facial burning numbness, tinnitus, both left side.

A question about the test. Do they test your kidney function before hand?  They do not do there where I typically get my MRI.  However when I had my CT with contrast for my heart surgery at a different hospital system they tested my kidney function before proceeding.  Never thought about that until now. 

Just wondering,

Dan

So glad to hear that Dan! I asked permission to post as did not want to unsettle people but on other hand I feel its important. I had to advocate for self with my team post treatment too. I wish there was a more holistic appraoch-  I have found little support on how to deal with certain issues and what things might be helpful to reduce the risk of regrowth. This information is out there surely - given the accumulative knowledge of the biological pathways one would think.

Dan,

Just checking in.  I have not been here in a while as I started on an all consuming project.  I hope all is well.
