Marcy prof... I just joined Connect. I’m 54 and I’m in the Very beginning stages of testing for a brain tumor above my right eye. There’s much more going on (that causes pain and loss of bone) as my skull is no longer holding my brain in place. I haven’t even found a specialist yet. (New insurance - but luckily... a PPO.)
Anyway - my question- What do you do for pain? (And can you still drive?). I will be seeing a naturopath as soon as I can.
I’ve been spending most of my days lying down with ice packs around my head. I’ve had headaches the past couple months... but progressed quickly in the last few weeks to almost unbearable. (Very close to a blinding Migraine- but not yet crossing that ‘line’).
I know I will have a Billion questions in time. But I’m just grasping the fact that I need to tell... my children. (I think the rest of my family is strong enough to handle the news. Not worried about them. And my parents will probably just forget all about it the next day.)
