Another new guy...
dwilliams35:
Two year checkup, everything good. MRI shows a minor shrinkage of the AN, balance still good, hearing still sucks, no superpower development as of yet. Still have minor ringing tinnitus, but it's becomes so ubiquitous that I don't even notice it unless I happen to think about it being there.
I have lost 75 pounds since the last time around (intentionally, not really related to the AN) so that may have improved balance, etc..
The worst thing is that he told me last time that if I was good after the last two years he'd cut me loose, now he added another 3 year checkup to it.. Oh well, no big deal, at least that will coincide with the year that my insurance will spring for a new set of hearing aids, no doubling up the deductible to do that and an MRI. If he does that again next visit, I'll go ahead and hit him with "now wait just a danged minute....."

dwilliams35,
glad to see a fellow ANer and Dosfrios brother come back from time to time an provide an update. Life is good. Life goes on and albeit alittle bit different for us. It's what we make of it. Take care of youself.
Waypoint

The "drunk test" is a trip, right? ENG tests might help them see how it's messing with your balance. Not just about the MRI confirmation.

Looks like I've been out of here for longer than I thought: just an update, last MRI showed further degradation of the leftovers, balance is really pretty good, but I do still have some minor issues occasionally: at this point, I'm to the point that "is this a residual symptom, or am I just getting old"? Hearing has basically just settled into a woefully insufficient level, which I'm sure it will remain at. Basically, no real changes for the last year and a half or whatever it was...and besides some additional hearing loss, not much different than it really was before this whole thing started..
Still no development of radiation-induced superpowers. I'm starting to have my suspicions that the whole superpower thing is over-sold, and that I probably aren't going to get them..
