Good morning all. I'm about 12 years post Gamma Knife and have gotten along better than most during that time. But in last few months I've had a lot of very uncomfortable days with a head that feels like it's fulll of wet sawdust. During thee periods, thinking becomes difficult. Is this what some call a "wonky head?" My wife says it sound like her worst allergy problems.

People ask me about "wonky head". I've come to describe it thusly:
the spongy-minded, ethereal, not-really-solid, "almost-awareness" a person has the morning after taking a whole sleeping pill when they should have taken half.
-
"Wonky head", a term coined by Capt Deb, is the "head disconnect" one may feel (much like taking cold meds) with a hint of dizziness/vertigo tossed in.
Don, hoping things calm down for you soon! Be well!

People actually are required to function feeling like this?!
I don't suffer from wonky head, but have other things, so can't contribute. I get "foggy brain" where sometimes it is hard to clearly think and my brain feels constantly disracted and muffled.
Don-hope you feel better. Could be allergies??

Don,
Phyl described it perfectly! To tell the truth it is quite a sensation, surreal to be exact! I do hope you get to feeling better though :)
