  • hey.im doing a biology project & i wanted to know if i could use this video

  • @alexandra101salazar

    As long as you show me before you submit it and my video is not edited in any way and the link to my blog is mentioned.

  • Went to Doctor for my daughter and while making small talk with the doctor he asked how I was and I just casually mentioned I was having really bad headaches/migraines and he suggested I should have a CT scan and after they found it on the CT I was sent for MRI and PET scans.

  • My dizziness was dizzy and felt like I was falling and would have to hold onto something to stabilise. Dizziness triggered I assume by the fact I had a whopping big tumor in my head and didn't know it at the time. Headaches were and are still severe.

  • Strange how you got a little black eye! were you 100% after the operation or did  you have to spend time in rehab?

    Hope ya doing well. :-)

  • @sypdavis brain surgeries quite often cause bruising to the eye/s due to the bruising from the surgery. Took me a year to feel myself again...no rehab needed for me thankfully this time round just needed extra time.

    Have my next MRI in Feb 2012.

  • My brother had his surgery a week ago, hees 9 years old. But we're back aedt home. He was really scared because the doctor told him the risks about how he could die. But thank god hes okay now.

  • Congratulations on your recovery, that's amazing!  I have a few questions on your symptoms. You mentioned dizziness, was it lightheartedness? Or was it vertigo where you were spinning? What was the dizziness triggered by? Was it completely uncalled for? And were the headaches severe? What made you go to the doctor, and did your doctor suggest the MRI?
