Hello!
I was just diagnosed at the end of May, at 15mm, with my only symptom being the head pain that comes in and out throughout my day. It doesn't alter my lifestyle, I just deal with it as I take care of my 1 & 3 yr old. Since my diagnosis I have seen two NS I my area and they immediately recommend surgery. Yet when I read some forums etc I hear of people suffering far more than I who are not recommended to have surgery. What gives?
I don't want to have surgery. I don't feel like my problem is worth the risk and recovery. I feel decent and am living my life 99% normally. This whole thing makes me so, so angry. I'm down right rude to the doctors because I am so angry. I know that there are so many worse positions to be in, and I have no right to be angry. Which just makes me more angry, that I'm angry and ungrateful, its a downward spiral.
I rarely read anything good about the surgery, recovery, this condition. I know that is in part the nature of the internet etc. But I just want some hope. Should I do the surgery?
