Please Keep Ryan In Your Thoughts And Prayers

[Rohan Kohli]

Below is a message from Ryan Dunson, vocalist/guitarist of Rookie of the Year (http://www.rookieoftheyear.net):
Hey everybody! Tomorrow morning I'm getting mri's done of my head at 5:30. I have been feeling dizzy, headaches, almost like I'm gonna faint feeling, anxiety and panic attacks for about 3 weeks now. If anybody has felt like this before I would love to hear your stories. Please keep me in your prayers for the next few days.

God bless

Ryan

[tommyhaych]

[jusscali]

good luck

[truestar1015]

Ryan will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers over the next few days.

[ThatGirl]

Honestly I swear. That sounds like my migranes. And Ive been going to a neurologist for them since I was 17. They dont always hurt. They just suck. It could be more. But I hope not. Migranes are bad enough.

[HazeLitRise]

hes a good guy. i love that guy. no really, i love him, a lot

[fight4urdemons]

He's in my thoughts.

[The_New_Cancer]

Never really listened to this band, but he'll definetly be in my thoughts. Hope everything's alright.

[Stubby0918]

Never really listened to this band, but he'll definetly be in my thoughts. Hope everything's alright.
you should give them a listen, they're pretty damn good. nice guys too.

feel better.

[TheGoodnightMoon]

Ryan's a strong person, he'll make it through just fine.

[Serenity]

I hope everything will be alright...

[A000lex]

That's too bad. I hope he gets better.

[bluecrunchy]

i talked to him a few weeks ago after a show and he said it was vertigo or something from being in the rockies. anyway, i hope he's okay.

[mikearduini9]

the guys in ROTY are some of the nicest guys i have ever met. ryan will be in my thoughts and prayers, everything will be just fine.

[rewindthistime]

ick that doesn't sound too fun. hope it's nothing serious.

[sensesfail4]

it just sounds like anxiety to me. a lot of times its just in your mind & you think youre sick when your really not. but if it does turn out to be a physical illness, then i wish him well

[anamericangod]

i know how this shit goes, and it is not fun.

best of luck to him, we're here for ya.

[joeshmoe909]

I hope you get better man, this is too bad.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

all the best to him.

[unwritten]

I hope everything turns out okay. I want to hear back with his results. Anxiety/Panic attacks are a bitch.

[Scott Weber]

I have these over the past several months as well. lots of headaches and dizziness...it sucks.

[imperfectlyflwd]

I agree with ThatGirl, it could very well be migraines. I started getting them when I was 5 years old (I'm 21 now) and was hospitalized more than once for them and missed a lot of middle school because of them. It's a genetic thing in my family, my mom has them, her sis, her aunts, her brother, etc. It's not always just the typical splitting head ache. Its more a neurological thing that can affect you're entire body. A lot of people can sense when they are getting a migraine up to a couple hours before the actual on set, you feel sick to your stomach, start getting sensitive to light, or get this "aura"....its hard to describe unless you've had one, but the aura you just don't feel right, and alot of times anxiety can be part of the entire process.


But in any case, Ryan is in my thoughts, whether its migraines or something else I hope the best for him.

[I was Brad]

youre in my thoughts and prayers man

[losethegirl]

I had a bad case of this for two months right before I started college, but the MRI revealed nothing and the symptoms disappeared after I settled in to college life. They have started to come back though, but I think they are stress-induced.

An MRI is quick and painless though, so hopefully it helps get to the root of the problem.

[Beloved Broken]

Hope he'll be allright. :)

[BoMbSqUaD]

Back when i used to take antidepressants, these were the exact withdrawal symptoms that i would have once i got off them. Vertigo being the most annoying symptom. Hope that helps...maybe?

[What?]

maybe its meniere's it sounds like it. hope you its not, get better soon.

i meant hope its not

[_kelly]

hope everything goes alright

[ChrisNJ]

Hope everything's alright with him, thoughts and prayers will be with Ryan and the band for the next few days.

[Cali Dreaming]

Hope you get better bro!
I thought all that rest here in Texas would've helped, but I guess not.
Get better soon!

[mikearduini9]

maybe its meniere's it sounds like it. hope you its not, get better soon.

nah, they're saying vertigo

[starcrossdlovex]

I get migraines that are like that. I've been at the neurologist, had CT scans/MRIs done, etc.
I'll definitely be wishing him the best. Great band, great guys.

[highfivejunkie]

...An MRI is quick and painless though...

Man, when I had an MRI it took over an hour. I hate those things. and they had to give me a shot of some sort and I'm a pussy with needles.

but mine wasn't of my head either, so maybe there's a huge difference right there.



Anyway-- good luck. I hope it's just anxiety/lack of sleep or something. When I go without enough sleep for a while and I have lots of stuff going on it feels like my head is exploding and I'm dying of something rare and undiscovered.
