Hello. I am new to this awesome group. I was diagnosed with 2 aneurysms on July 1st of last year. By the time I went into surgery a month later they found a 3rd. 1 5 mm on the right and 2 on the left 2mm (sister aneurysms). All are clipped. My skull was cut open craniotomies. Right side cut open twice due to skull flap sliding down right away.
Prior to this about a year I had extreme vertigo and a couple of close fainting spells.
Then vertigo again in May that wouldn’t go away and headaches I thought were migraines.
Sorry to hear some suffer with this dizziness still. I have no taste , smell or tears now. And like many others the periodic PTSD.

Welcome again and glad you like the group! I may be biased, but I think our members are the best, and now you’re one of us!
Sounds like you’ve been through the wringer. When they did your left and right sides did they open both sides of your skull on the same day? How long did it take them to reopen the right side? I haven’t had a craniotomy, just a lot of coils, balloon assist and a stent.
Have you been to the ophthalmologist about your eyes? My eyes were drying out so much it felt like pointy rocks. My ophthalmologist has me on prescription eye drops and OTC eye drops which have helped enormously. He even told me how to save money on both by putting the lid back on the little vials so I can use them 3-4 times instead of once and toss.
