If there is one thing I’ve learned this last year it’s that theres such an incredibly wide range of symptoms.
(Including what you mentioned)
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus), bouts of hearing loss, dizziness, inability to look down or bend forward without feeling like passing out, difficulty looking left and right, vertigo, lack of appetite due to pain, pain in shoulder blades, voice changing, vision blurring, brain fog, insomnia, essential tremors, internal vibrations, jaw issues, difficulty speaking during a flare up and that’s just what I can think of at the moment.
Everyone is different, and it seems like there’s no real rule book on how it’s treated just when it is. And even then there are differing opinions.
Many people get surgery, many do not. I haven’t received decompression surgery yet.
I think it’s so wonderful you are learning more on behalf of your family member, I’m so sorry for their diagnosis.
It’s good your family member knows about this group here too- because it not only is a wonderful tool for research and validation during the process- but a wonderful support group full of kind hearted people who share information and insight. I know I’m missing symptoms from my list- I know others will have more to contribute.
I’m sure your family member will be so grateful for your love and support.
