I have good news. I’m struggling to get around very much like Ellen. Although Ellen, you’ve done great because you’re a lot older than me. But it’s not easy. I have been able to do just a little more. I finally got out of my town -that was not a hospital visit- and got to my daughter‘s first new apartment an hour away. My family guided and I was able to go up and down the stairs slowly, myself. It was wonderful. She was so happy and I was so happy. It’s very tiny gains. One day I am ahead a little bit, and then I slip back. But I’m pushing right now. Gotta keep trying. Sometimes you can’t. It’s OK. sometimes you just have to stop and sometimes you are just in it. Then you have to try to get yourself out of that as soon as you have little openings even if it’s very difficult.
Arty I just read about a young lady who had constant severe headaches all of a sudden that lasted for several months I guess. You gotta be careful with that. It can be very serious. I’m glad you’re getting all that testing done. And I also hope they find an answer because it’s also frustrating when you don’t have answers. But there’s many reasons why that could be happening. We have another regular on the site who deals with severe nonstop, headaches, and has for years and she’s lovely. She’s been very supportive of me privately, very understanding. You may wish to speak to her.
