pre-surgical testing request info

[Guest guest]

I would like to request information from the group as to what some

of the pre-surgical tests that were performed.

I have had 2 surgeries (99')- 1 compression and another shortly

after to fix leak and tear/infection of incisison. As I have

continually deteriorated since, I feel I need to press my

neurosurgeon on completing more thorough (sp) testing to find what's

wrong.

Loss of eye sight, loss of hearing, worse headaches, seizure

disorder, extreme weakness on left side (fall over alot), vertigo.

etc... All of which being constantly sent to P/T (3 centers will no

longer accept me as think causing further damage) and prescription

for meds (finding I have a lot of allergies - anaphalictic (sp) to

most which is fun when a Chiarian (and stressful to family).

I don't think I could handle a long trip to NYC, and looking into

other locations within NY state for referral.

Your help as a group would be greatly appreciated - Sharon
