So, here is the latest....nothing was getting done so I had my primary doctor order another MRI...This new one says there is now a mega cisterna magna. There is also spinal fluid still on my brain. Still regreting this surgery. Between the course of the first and second surgery I had lost twenty-six pounds. Ironic, when I come out of the military, I was 180 of muscle. I have read that since I am having so much trouble with the cerebellum, which controls your muscles, is why I am loosing so much weight. I now weigh 127 and am 5'11". I am nothing but skin and bone and feel very weak all the time. The doctors act as thought they do the surgery and then they are done with you. Bedside manners gradually sluff off as time goes on and they do not believe you. I had begin to think that recovery was finally here...YEAH...until the headaches come back. When does this stop???
