Guest guest Posted February 15, 2000 Report Share Posted February 15, 2000 Hi Amie: Unfortunately you will probably get just as many opinions here, as you did from the doctors. For myself, I have had one side removed surgically, and the other treated with Gamma Knife Radiation. The surgical side resulted in total deafness, and partial facial paralysis. On the Gamma Knife side I have retained the hearing the I had when I started, and there was no facial paralysis. I still get the tinnitus on occasion, but that is usually when I'm over tired or over stimulated with caffeine. If I avoid those two things I'm able to control it. Of all the things that I find most frustrating is the facial droop, and I never thought that I was a vain woman. I agree with , you will have to chose what is best for your overall health. Best of luck on making your decision! Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, myself, don't lose liquids out the side of my mouth any more because I bought straws and take them everywhere I go. I admit that it's sometimes inconvenient, but I think a little inconvenience is a lot more acceptable to me than the embarrassment of dribble sliding down my face.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Hi June, This is great advice June. And those bending straws are helpful too in certain situations.
