What a wonderful communitee this is. I have been reading and reading through all the postings and it truely is wonderful to know that no one is alone.
My name is Maggie and I had a coiling done in November'05. At
St. Raphael's Hospital in New Haven, CT.
They are the best!!! They have a team that is outstanding.
Leading up to this, I had many, many symptoms. Sever pain in my neck and the back of my scull. I had suffered from Migraines since I was 16 and I always try to stay on top of the latest discoveries for migraine help.
I had intense fatigue and pain but no one could find a cause except, I am a single mom and I must be stressed out, I must be depressed. YES! Anyone would be struggling to live life with these symptoms.
I have a brother in law that had a rupturing annie and fortunately my sister insisted I see the same neurologist and Dr. as my brother law was seeing. THANK GOD! 1 out of 5 people have an annie and don't know it.
A MRA was ordered and they found a 5mm annie behind my left eye down on the optic nerve. The coiling was very successful and I am totally! Pain free. I don’t have any pain and I have not had a migraine since the coiling.
I know what to do and where to go now if I start to have the same symptoms again.
We know our bodies the best. But you get nutty trying to deal with the many, many Doctors you go to for help…Dentist, Eye Dr, Chiropractor, Allergist, shrink! <-- because by now you are thinking it really must be all in my head!
The Doctors tried to tell me that the headaches and pain where not related to the annie but the evidence is too overwhelming to ignore. I had pain when they knocked me out for the coiling and when I woke up it was gone.
In the year since the coiling I have been recovering, physically, mentally and spiritually.
***** I have some short-term memory and comprehension deficit and I would like to know if anyone else experiences this too.
Thank you for allowing me space to share.
Peace,
Maggie
