Hi all

I'm really new to this I was diagnosed last month with CM1 after being admitted to hospital with migratory sensory phenomenon affecting tongue and left arm with migraine

Since coming out of hospital I have and a headache that never seems to go away no mater the amount of pain killers I take but I decided to go back to work. Work is a hour and half away from were I live but I have to go by bus last week I was sent home In really bad pain after being on the bus. I have also come to realize I'm affected in cars as well

I was wondering if anybody else had similar experiences and have any useful hints and tips on stopping motion hurting so much

I really feel like I'm losing control of my life so I need to work

Thanx in advance

Clare

    Hi clare I'm not sure if same thing but I had decompression for pressure. But I'm left with dizziness and nausea, but not on the scale it was, I'm on tablets for this and does help, as I work part time as a domestic in a hospital so lots of up and down moments. Before the op I was very dizzy and head hurt a lot.

      Let us know how you get on clare, but you need help with this condition, as said before you know what your facing now and you need some guidance as to what happens next, when things get too much hun you need to ask what can be done to help you, my neurosurgeon recommended decompression surgery as symptoms just controled my life. Now I feel I'm controlling my symptoms. Good luck hun x
