Title: Official Survey for Dr Medbery re: AN's and Fatigue
Post by: ppearl214 on December 15, 2006, 12:51:18 pm

Hi all,
The above thread is in the Radiosurgery section of this forum, but this survey actually applies to all AN patients.

If you are interested in completing the survey/form (takes less than 5 min), please let me know here so I can email it to you.  Dr. Medbery is graciously assisting with compiling this data as to why many of us are overwhelmed with fatigue, especially post-treatment.

Thanks!
Phyl

Phyl: I would love to participate in your survey. However my home computer is on a Dial-up-System through the University that I work for and will not allow me to receive downloaded e-mails such as this survey. I hesitate to use the computer at work. Since I guess you are going to have to count me out. Sorry-Ron. I still love this forum though.

Hi all,

I need internet emails addresses (for those I don't already have... Captn and Michele, I have your's, so your's are coming now.  Sue, you got your's as well... Kathy, you got your's).

Palace, I need your email address on the internet so I can send to you... please email me here your email address, ok? If that is ok with you.

Ron, the document is a Microsoflt Word document, less than 100kb, VERY small, easy to download... just let me know. Should take 1 minute to download, even on dial-up. 

thanks to the MANY of you that have contacted me for the survey! Dr. Medbery will be amazed at the AN patient participation.

Thanks all!
Phyl

Add me to the list.  Send me two.  Be interesting to see what the fatigue factor is before and after surgery.

Bruce,

I say we go for it.... and advise him that you are watch/wait.  as you know, brain tumors (all foms) and fatigue go hand in hand but would be curious to see what he says.... if you PM (email) me here on the site, providing me your internet email address, I'll forward one to you. :)

Phyl :)

pearly girl...

Don't know if the Dr. wants us watch-and-waiters to participate as well, but if so, I am willing.  My level of fatigue has greatly increased over the last few years, and it does hit hard sometimes. Yesterday I had to take the GRE since my old scores are more that 20 years old. Anyway, I had to drive in the fog from Villa Rica to Marietta for a 9:00AM test appointment. I felt fine when I got there and zipped through the essay portions of the exam. However, as soon as I got to the math section, the fatigue started to set in. I worked through the math alright, but in the verbal section, the fatigue slammed me hard and my tinnitus started screaming in my ears. It became so bad that I had difficulty concentrating on reading the passages for the reading-comprehension segments. I finsihed the exam with 12 seconds left on the computer clock. I was frustrated and exhausted. By some miracle of God, I did well on the exam, but this head bougger gets me tired at times.  Anyway, let me  know if you want my input..

Phyl-you can try to e-mail me survey but I have had trouble pulling up stuff like this before. This last summer-Johns Hopkins send me data and I could not pull it up on my home computer. Go ahead and sent it and we will see-then I will let you know. Thanks Obita for the offer but lets see if I can get the survey first. I do not want my address given over Internet unless I do it on a personal message to someone. I see their is another porn site on this morning. What Crap. Thanks Ron

Hi Pearl,

I really don't have a problem with fatigue, but perhaps that would add some interesting notes to the study.  ( I think it's because I never did work too hard.  lol) If you think it might be helpful send me a copy of the survey.  My email is jeanlea2002@yahoo.com.

This is Sunday afternoon at 1PM-CST. Checked personal e-mail in yahoo. no survey was evident or downloaded into my sight. With our slow dial up from our University-It probably is a lost cause-Thanks anyway. I am sure that Dr. Medbery will have enough w/o mine. Thanks for the effort anyway. Ron
