Hi Jamie...

I got excited when I saw your original post.
At last I found someone else that has it...

My neurosurgeon said I am patient number 3 with this for his career.
I was lucky to find him right off the bat..

It's been a little over two weeks, and so far no great improvements.
I still start tipping over, and that echo in my ear, but it changes
from an echo to an almost constant whooshing noise... could be improvement..
I'll be optimistic.. My right side weakness and the tingling in my fingers did
go away.. so that's a plus.. time will tell...

I'm sorry to hear about your headaches.. That really sucks..
It seems like an awfully long time for this to crop up on you
after the surgery.. Are all the old symptoms coming back too?

My Neurosurgeon specifically ruled out the cyst fenestration for almost specifically your problem. He told me that sometime they close up on there
own and you have to redo the whole procedure.

What is your doctor planning? Drugs I assume.......
Did he compare your original MRI with the new one?

Andy
