Honest Heather

So I see that people are reading my blog which is good, I appreciate any input, questions and advice from you guys. I guess the main thing on my mind is. I was wondering if anybody, who has had a brain tumour has experienced these same or similar symptoms? My symptoms consist of: Having headaches as strong as migraines which is best describe as the "worst headache ever" that doesn't go away. Having to take 3-5 cocodimols a day.  A dull pressure in my head that I can feel.  Enlarged pupils Poor concentration Slower thinking pace Poor patience Pain at the back of the eyes when you lean forwards Having to rest the head on a pillow or chair arm in the day Struggling to sleep Off vision and blurred even though I had 20/20 vision before pregnancy I used to multitask, think fast and was so intelligent before I got Sepsis in my pregnancy back in August. I survived that amazingly and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy called Leo. He's 1 now. He lives with hi

Almost everyone probably has an idea of what DeviantArt is. It is a website devoted to artists, artist hobbyists, and buyers and admirers alike. I love the website or atleast love(d) the website. Until this month. I had a very forgetful month due to what Sepsis had caused to my memory. I knew I had won and brought things I wanted to pay for them, but I just couldn't fathom the concentration up to pay for them etc. I had been dealing with a lot of depression and it seems I didn't have the concentration that month. So a person I had once dealt with in the past, an artist who was selling and trading her characters. I was just getting into the website Toyhou.se at the time. A website of where you can store all your characters designs either made or brought and I wouldn't upload any character there until I had properly paid for it. A month ago or so I had to get away from home for a bit. So I went to Haverigg with my parents and my nana Cecelia, ,my nana is from the Lake Distr

Sertraline, does it actually work? I have this in a morning 50mg worth it used to be a lot higher 300mg worth at one point. But I've gradually reduced the dose to see how my reactions are and how I respond, because higher sertraline does make your eyes sting when you cry, I'm wondering if that caused a blur effect to my eyesight previously.

Because I take quatiapine at night, and because of its sedative properties it makes me very tired in the morning. I have to really fight through that tiredness to wake up. Usually trying to drag myself into the shower helps to wake me up for the day. And then comes the all too familiar headaches that do not disappear. No matter how much pain medication I take. I've decided this month that I am going to check to get another MRI brain  time with the blue ink contrast. So I have to save up £400 again and phone my neurogragist and somehow convince them to give me another scan. Because I believe they have definitely missed something. I've tried to tell my parents for quite some time now but they don't believe me because of the previous results. So this time, I really hope that they find the root of the cause. But I start thinking.. I'm not the same person I was before I was pregnant and the sepsis got ahold of me. I am very forgetful, my mind works at a much slower pace now

Goodness words just can't describe how much I adore this boy. He may look a lot like his dad but he has a lot of goodness in him because he has me in him.

So, for a couple of months now I have been experiencing headaches. Like a lingering headache everyday the best way to describe it is like the worst headache of my life. I have previously been trying to phase them out with painkillers, 3-5 cocodimols a day. I know that's not healthy.. as codine can become addictive. Trust me I'm not addicted to them. They just phase out the headaches for a short while but then the pressure in my skull is back apparent as ever. It never disappears and it's been like this for months now. What I can't understand is perhaps 4 months ago, I had an MRI scan. It wasn't with blue ink contrast though because the instructor who was going to do the test thought because I was only 27 it's unlikely to show anything up. Which is a silly reason and I really wish I had that blue ink contrast. I waited about 2 weeks for my scan results. I also had a full body CT scan with blue ink contrast to check other areas. And an EEG. During all these I wa

Hello guys, it's nice to meet you. My name is Heather and I am 27 currently. I am a mother to a beautiful little boy called Leonardo or Leo is his name for short. He's currently 1 year old. Leo came a surprise to me, unfortunately when I was 32 weeks pregnant I had sepsis (blood poisoning) and I have been recovering from that back in August 2016. I am a strong woman to be still here in the world. I am not highly religious but everyday is a blessing. I represent the Sepsis Trust and I have promoted my story online nottinghampost.com. I have also been asked to star in Panarama lately. We don't know what curveballs life can throw at us sometimes but can either let them weaken you, define you or strengthen you.  in Panorama lately that are going to come around to my house. I'm dealing with a lot at the moment and haven't been able to think of the Panorama.
