She has come so far with her therpy I hate to see her relapse I’m concerned about side affects.
hi Pattie,how are you,I had gamma almost two years ago, and for the most part I had some headaches after,and very tired for the most part,but other then the location of the pins when putting a halo on,that hurt for a bit after treatment,not much of anything else,the gamma for me didnt start to work till almost year two,they said the older you are it talks longer,well thats what i heard,kids it works quicker,alot of us on here had gamma,to me its a blessing to have my avm go away this way,anytime you want to ask questions or need support im here oK:) all of us are,the only thing with the gamma,the halo did hurt going on,not coming off,
I’m getting GK 7-22-09, I told the doctors that everyone speaks of the pain associate with the pins. She said they would work with me. I assume that they would give me more medicine if needed while the pins or screws, what ever they are, go in.
