I would like to say Thanks to all of you here in this forum. I live in a rural part of Maine, and there are not any support groups for AN's that Im aware of, So thanks for being here!
I have recently had my 3.2 +cm tumor removed surgicaly ( aprox 3 weeks ago) I didn't have any of the classic symptoms of an AN and was very lucky it was discovered before something really tramatic happened. After I was diagnoised, I started getting a few bizzare symptoms. Now I have left facial palsy, and total loss of hearing. My head feels like half of it is missing, but is also very itchy.
I am wondering how long it takes for the palsy to lessen. Right now, we are using EStim, with little response.. Ok, no response, but I was able to feel the current some today.
I am also wondering what some of the symptoms of a csf leak woud be like. I have recently (2-3 days) been experiencing a post nasal drip which tastes awful! Has it been too long after the surgery to experience such a thing? I dont get much support from my doctor or his office staff so I would apperciate any input that could be offered at this time. It is allergy season here in Maine, and I dont want to just be worried, or do nothing if it could be serious.
