Janice,
I just came to your "story" to see what you have in your background and discovered that you and I had the same surgeon, Dr. Lars Svensson. I traveled all the way from Wichita, Kansas, because with my head injury history I wanted excellence in the surgery and good care nearby should the effects from my head injury be triggered.
Without question, my thought would be that you be evaluated by a neurologist if that has not already been done. I would insist on it.
If you think I can help, feel free to contact me anytime! Ginger

Janice Smith Thanks Ginger. I took your advice and was seen by a neurologist in Kettering, Ohio. Tests were run, and all were okay, and he gave me no answers to this problem. I, too, had a head injury (sub-dural hemotoma from an injury with a steer in 1985, but no complications from that surgery. I continue to have these symptoms, plus hot flashes and dizziness, and I can get no answers from anyone. It gets so frustrating dealing with this every day. I don't feel bad with concern to my heart, and Dr. Svensson was excellent. I guess I will just have to deal with this the rest of my life, and I am blessed in so many ways. Hope you continue to do well in your recovery.
