I had my rather large AN removed 7/28/05. I have severe balance problems, dizziness and once again hot flashes. My PCP put me back on hormones, they don't help. My physical therapist said that I have panic attacks. My psyciatrist gives me more drugs and no solutions. I can no longer drive at night because the headlights of the cars, both oncoming and behind me cause severe headaches and panic attacks. Driving during the day is a challenge also. My therapist (physical) says I don't have periphiol vision and if new glasses don't help he will have to report it to the State and no more driving for me! Before I had my AN removed I had perfect hearing and no noises in my head. The only reason an MRI was done was because I fell a few times and hurt myself. Since the AN was removed, I have broken an ankle, dislocated my shoulder twice, sprained both knees, and both wrists and always have bumps and bruises. The noises in my head are so loud I cannot hear at all if there is background noise. I am frustrated and so is my family. I want me back.Let me know if your hot flashes are hormonal or panic related! Good luck to you.
