odd symptom?
« on: December 19, 2013, 02:31:31 am »
Hi everyone.

 Am I alone in that the AN side of my body has become increasingly weak? I put this down to imbalance on that side, but I can't carry shopping in my left hand without completely losing balance and I've now got intermittent shaking of the left hand. I'm a year post SRS and eveything has got worse this month.

Hi Alison...

Sorry to learn that you have had so many problems since your SRS treatment 12 months ago. Whilst I have remained in W&W mode since diagnosis almost 12 years ago, other than impaired hearing on the affected right side, I have never experienced any weakness in any area on my AN side. Hopefully in your case the healing process will eventually generate the affected nerve areas and that you will eventually start on your road to recovery. I note from your previous posts that you will be having a further MRI scan in January. I am optimistic for you that the results will be favourable and indicate that there are no AN associated problems. In the interim I do hope that you have a peaceful Christmas and that the New Year brings you eventual progress to a full recovery.

Best Wishes

Derek

Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.

I was remarking yesterday how it's strange that pretty much every injury or illness I've ever had has been on the right side of my body, including my AN. I'm right handed, but I'm either harder on this side of my body or it's weaker. idk. Weird. Hope you find some answers.
