Thanks for the reply! I am re-reading your symptoms, Mokey, and we sound very similar.
Would an MRI show this brain stem or cranial nerve damage? Or is it to see the labyrinth concussion?
I'm guessing that when you reference slow to heal, it is a 3-5 year timeframe of slow, gradual healing?
And yes-I'm vacillating between feeling sorry for myself and then feeling incredibly lucky that it wasn't worse....
