Not a New Zealander but been to Australia and New Zealand way back in my 20's! Hope to go back some day. Brought back memories reading of King's Cross (we partied there also our first night we got to Australia!) Spent 6 lovely weeks in New Zealand touring the beautiful country. The company I work from has a partnership with Villa Maria Estate from NZ, their sauvignon blanc is amazing!

Hi- I can totally relate, the worst part is NOT having answers, as is the same with me. My doctor just says to give it time (I had a stroke on 1/3/13). I am 40 and have 3 daughters, youngest one is 3. I know it is difficult but find it a true blessing you have your 2 yr old to focus on to keep you distracted. Distraction, keeping busy, and this website have been the best methods for me. I find the more I sit and think about it the more anxiety I get. Am I feeling light headed, dizzy, you can completely work yourself up over it. I too have been suffering for headaches since the stroke and just yesterday was so happy as it had been almost a few weeks since last headache. Then last night woke up with a crushing one and can't seem to shake it. Good to know people have commented that they are common after a stroke. Why don't the doctors tell you that?

I came to this website after by bff told me I needed to talk to someone about what I was going through. I bet your little guy is thrilled you are around. Keep positive, keep posting and reading, keep distracted, and rest when you can!
