Title: how would you know?
Post by: wife4life on March 26, 2014, 01:21:16 pm

hi-
  I was wondering if you might know what kind of signs to look for in a regrowth?  if you already have facial paralysis, no hearing at all, dry eye mostly- what kind of signs/symptoms would you be on the look out for?
Thank you if you can help

Hi,, personally, I have most of those issues and I depend on my annual MRI to tell me if there is anything to "worry" about.  It's been 2 1/2 yrs now,, so 2  clean MRIs and one next Oct.

Most of my dizziness is gone, not many headaches ,, little fatigue, not often,, so I try not to obsess about it,,as far as I know,, the test is only indicator you will have unless your symptoms GREATLY decline,,, but I'm not a Dr,, just my opinion,,,

I had no symptoms of my regrowth. In fact, I was still experiencing post-surgical improvements...as I continue to do so. Only the MRI told us of the growth and after that I had 28 sessions of FSR.
