I am proud of you @The-red-centaur its been a big day for you. I slept most of the day each time I had ECT.
Sorry about the pain. Can you get some paracetamol from the nurse? The headaches can be annoying but it will be worth it if you get some relief.
I’m having an mri of my brain tomorrow so I’ll let you know if it’s still there!! I am annoyed at the person frightening you like they did.
You sound like you have a great attitude so here’s hoping for great results.
Is the next one on Wednesday?
Stay strong, you’ve got this.
❤️💙❤️

Sorry about the chronic pain @The-red-centaur Im having a break at present as I’ve had a heart infection and I can’t have an anaesthetic for 3 months. I did some with @Snowie so It’s good to have a buddy.
Good luck for Wednesday and I hope your headache settles soon.
❤️💙❤️
