Hi everyone! Been a long time since I have been on and I have to admit the reason I stopped reading, posting, and asking questions is because I was both frightened and concerned. I was diagnosed in June 2011 and after two consults I ended up having the Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (1x treatment) and I was convinced that it was the best treatment for me. I had treatment in September 2011... I thought the treatment was relitively simple and I didn't experience much pain and the staff at he Cleveland Clinic were remarkable. I felt good post procedure... a little tired following the procedure but back to work, business as usual. Tinnitus began to get much louder. I did suffer from migraines but I dealt with those prior to surgery and by December the doctor had those controlled as well. First follow up MRI was January 2012... no change. In April of 2012... I noticed that I wasn't hearing well at all, in fact, if I was sleeping on my good ear - I didn't hear the alarm. I really didn't think much about it because I knew that hearing loss was a possibility but then some dizziness and balance issues. I am scheduled for an MRI this Friday. I seem to be fine when sitting but when standing or walking I notice the balance issues and sometimes the dizziness. I have done a round of steriods... obviously they are concerned about swelling. The symptoms began to appear April 2012... I chose to ignore them but they progressed to where I am now Anyone experienced symptoms such as these post GK?
