I am posting here because I can't figure out how to start a new thread (I hope that is not a symptom!) Somewhere I read that there should be a "new thread" button on my personal page, but I can't find it.
A couple of weeks ago I had an MRI because of one-sided tinnitus and hearing loss. The MRI was to rule out a tumor. I got my results today and learned I have no tumor, but the MRI showed "small vessel changes" in my brain. The doctor who told me this is an ear, nose and throat specialist, and she suggested I talk to my family doctor about it (I have an appointment with him in 2 weeks).
In the mean time I have been googling, and getting frightened. I have noticed that sometimes I have trouble getting a word to come to me. I have never had a good memory, but I have been good at logic and reasoning. I have just retired as a Math professor. I am 64.
Sorry for high-jacking this thread, but I noticed it discusses vascular... problems.
I can't bring myself to type the D word. :-(
