Title: See Neurologist today
Post by: bern on September 23, 2009, 10:06:55 am

Hello friends,

I go see Neuro today to determine if eye twiching and sharp, quick earache are related to seizures.  I also have a leaky eye and my cognitive skills are worsening. I am a teacher and can't spell anymore.  I was a great speller.  I can't take this anymore! The tinnitus is unbearable and I swear the radiation screwed me up. I should have left this tumor alone and done nothing.  It is small and hasn't grown and there is no swelling.  My speech is messed up and I am having trouble seeing and writing my name.  What is going on???? I feel like the neurosurgeon just wanted to test out the new Gamma Knife treatment on me and I fell for it.

Sorry to vent but feeling like there is more to come and I am not ready.

Bern ~

I'm truly sorry to learn you're confronted by these aggravating post-radiation problems.  Obviously, I can't answer your perfectly logical question as to why these things are happening to you but I hope the neurologist can - not only tell you why - but offer some form of relief.  Please try not to become too bitter but focus on finding relief, which is your real goal.  I wish you success.

Jim

Hi Bern:  I echo what Jim said.  I also hope the neurologist can figure out why this is happening.   
Try to keep a peaceful heart through all this.    Nancy
