Welcome Logan and I hope you're feeling well. Since March I haven't followed threads on TIMS much because my symptoms got so bad that I only have a few hours each day when my cog fog is low. I'm posting today to simply speak from my experience. I did lots of research about different techniques of CC...

Thank you for all the help you've given me---I'm sorry things didn't work out. Best of luck with your next project in the working world (I'm sorry we didn't get to meet).

Hi Sue, sorry to hear that your fatigue is worse. I've been on Coumadin for just eleven days and a lower dosage than you---but I'm not experiencing a big change in energy level.

Did you tell your doctor about it? I hope you start feeling more energetic real soon. :)

WinnipegGirl, I hope March 2 comes quickly for you. I'm sorry to hear that your symptoms are back in full force---I know how disappointing that can be. I had some good symptom relief at my first procedure---and the improvements left. I just had my second procedure about 5 weeks ago and am not experi...

Cece: It's been great to follow your adventure and I'm so glad things went really well for you! I was thinking about you all day yesterday---and totally relieved when I saw the post that you were out of the operating room and feeling good. How is your neck feeling today? I hope that discomfort is ea...

Cece, I hope you're resting and don't see this until the morning. However, it's so good to see your post I must admit since it means you must be feeling okay! At minimum you must be relieved it's over now. About neck pain, I can tell you my experience but as you know it may have little or no resembl...

It's tough to follow HappyPoet's incredible arrangement of words so I'll be brief.

Cece: Four to go. Wow. About the jeans, it depends on how tight they are. My experience was that I just wanted to be comfortable afterwards and not have anything tight by the groin area of the incision. Just let yourself wear loose fitting stuff for the procedure day and forget the fashionista thoug...
