I am so thrilled with finding this site and hearing all the stories that sound so much like mine, I don't feel so alone.

Hi Rivergirl,
Welcome to the club! Since you wrote in the Watch and Wait section, I assume you haven't had any kind of treatment for your AN. Please give us some information to work with--size of AN, symptoms, when diagnosed and whatever else you might want to share. This is a good place to get support and information. You are not alone here. Hope to hear from you.

I was diagnosed in June and just saw and saw 2 Dr's in Boston yesterday, they were great, lots of information. I had been having problems with dizziness for 2 years, even hit the floor last year and taken out of work via ambulance and they only did an MRI this past June because I kept complaining. My AN is 12 1/2mm x 3 1/2 mm, tube shape fills the auditory canal. I have compensated well with the dizziness but the pressure, fullness and ear pain is the worse. The MD wants me to do the Vestibular lab, a CT and f/u with another specialist, so that will be in Oct if I can stand this feeling in my head. I am a nurse and sometimes I dismiss stuff with me thinking it will go away and not sure I convey the most accurate picture when I am the patient but I know this isn't right.Thanks for listening.
