Title: Just a little update.....
Post by: tatianne on August 31, 2006, 06:46:31 am

Just thought i give a little update.....
My headaches have decreased, not so much head pressure.
My tinnitus has increased and a still have some dizzy momments here and there.
My anxiety level has also improved, due to the help of a lot of you wonderful people
on this board sharing your stories and experiences with me.
Ive noticed that there has been quite a few more positive outcomes posted lately and
those help me so much.
Im focusing on my life now, at this momment, enjoying the smiles of my children.
My next MRI is in January, in the meantime im receiving some reiki treatments(which really help me to relax) and a massage here and there.
Im trying to improve my diet and exercise more because i feel that this will at least improve the over all health of my body and improve my immune system. (although, every once in a while i cant ignore the chocolat craving..... ;))
Thank you everyone for the support and sharing I receive here, it really helps.

Hi Tatianne:


You should be proud of yourself, I am.  You have accepted the AN and diverted your focus to what is most important:  your kids and your mental health.  Watch and wait can be a very long time.  Way to long if you are stressing 24/7.

Good for you.  You deserve some chocolate.  

And I agree, the good stories on here are a must.  I am waiting to hear from a local woman that had surgery 7/27 - she went for her one month check up yesterday.  I taked to her two weeks ago and she was just fine and on cue with a normal, GOOD recovery.

Wishing you all peaceful days ahead,  Kathy

Bonjour Tatianne,
Merci pour le update and "good on ya." It is so important to take good care of le corps right now! If indeed you do go into treatment later, good physical and emotional health are bound to give you a better outcome!! Le chocolat est plus important!!!! Lowers blood pressure and increases endorphins! But in moderation--you still need to fit into the MRI machine! 
Keep us posted!

A BIIIIIIIIIGGGG HUUUUUUUUUGGGG

Tatianne, you don't even sound like the same young lady who first arrived here, totally stressed and scared to death.  I'm so glad that this Forum helped you in dealing with your "new normal" and that you are doing all the right things to deal with stress and with the waiting.  It's so hard to put it on the back burner, but sounds like you are accomplishing that. Congratulations to you.

Vancouver Sue

 This is great news to hear!! Good for you.You are a very smart woman to look at your situation like this.  Taking good care of yourself now makes such good sense. And those kids will benefit so much. 

Isn't it great how we can all learn from each other??  I'm sure God smiles when we depend on each other like this...

YOU GO GIRL!!
