This blog is an look into the life of one person with NCS (Neurocardiogenic Syncope) and how it effects her. NCS is basically where the brain and heart have a misunderstanding due to miscommunication and results in a person fainting and losing consciousness. I hope this blog inspires and helps at the same time. Feel free to communicate and let others know your struggle as well!

My brother
So, lately I haven't updated my blog. The reasons for that is that my aunt passed away and two weeks ago we finally buried her! We (my mom and I) got a call the same week that my brother before me has a brain tumor. Every since it has been an unending cycle of rushing back and forth to Little Rock, AR and back to Fort Smith (2.5 hours drive both ways) for the last four weeks! I'm exhausted. I am blogging now from the hospital's underground parking lot, waiting on my mom & brother. He'll have his surgery next week, so that will be huge for him! His tumor is pressing against his right eye and his brain. We saw pictures today & it isn't a small tumor. I have a hotel in Maumelle (it is surprisingly nice!!!) I can't wait to go back to. I also have to go home kinda early tomorrow because my new Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy Stellar 4G LTE is being delivered! So excited. Forever and Love, Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android |

Sleepiness
Today I am extremely fatigued. I had an aunt who passed away two weeks ago from cancer and liver failure. Before she died, my mom and I travelled 2.5 hours all times of the day and night to go see her because she was so sick. The night before her death, we had actually just came back home. We left not even an hour after hearing the sad news. Two days after her passing (maybe 3 days), my brother discovered he had a golf ball-sized tumor in his brain. The next day we went to be with him at the hospital. This was another 2.5 hr trip. When we got there, the tumor grew and is now the size of a orange. He is in a lot of pain. My aunt's funeral went well and she was buried on last Saturday. It was a sad, cold and rainy day. She will be greatly missed. |

So.....
I went to see my doctor and... Nothing! She wants me to do more tests that has nothing to do with my NCS. She didn't listen to me or my complaints and it just doesn't make sense. Why would you order blood work, thyroid tests to be done when those things has already been done several times before?! It looks like I'm going to have to find myself an out-of-town Cardiologist. I have to believe it will get better. I trust everything works out well! |
