4yr MRI CK Update
« on: March 08, 2023, 01:22:50 am »
So incredibly happy! My AN has again shrunk. Right down now to 12mm,12mm, 10mm (was on 2cm 4 years ago). My specialist called me said the CK working well as he expected. No cystic degeneration after fisrt CK session that was gone. All normal despite my stabbing ear pains...he thinks could be an irritated nerve or even TMJ as I had this even before treatment. The trigeminal nerve is normal. My hearing in that ear is 85% on audiology report.

Thanks Stella and Bri-82. I am very grateful
I was very worried (had to take a valium) for the results as I have had a lot of ear pain at night still and I have still got vaccine related issues so I had all these worst case scenarios in my head worrying.

You are on the right path, Michele!  Thank you for sharing that fantastic news!
Burning Tongue, Loss of Hearing & Balance, and Tinnitus led to MRI. Very small AN found on 11/23/2021
While watching and waiting, lost significant hearing. WRS now at 12% (down from 100%). Was fitted with CROS system on 3/7/22.  Stable MRI on 7/29/22
No treatment yet.

Thank you Don! I do think keeping low stress, good sleep, and a few target supplements are helping.
