Estimated date of arrival at the post office 04 Nov 2021 - 10 Nov 2021, 4 - 10 days remaining The forecast is not 100% certain, and is based on 41 packages delivered in the last 60 days [/quote] Did this ever turn up?

I had a migraine for the first time ever back in October (on my 34th birthday no less) and had some stroke like symptoms. After seeing a stroke consultant an actual stroke was ruled out, and it was deemed to be an atypical migraine, but that was terrifying. I'd hate to know what going through your experience was like.

Being able to get and do things does wonders for recovery. After my brain op I didn’t start feeling better until I started doing things again. It’s good to get active as long as you don’t push it too far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
