Thank you for your comments and the article. Because of the carotid stenosis,
I felt sure there was some damage in the vestibular system. Just now starting research on possible neurological affects, so I expect the article to be quite helpful. The wait list to see neurologist here is 4 months. This all started with a kidney transplant in 2005 and skin cancers from the immunosuppressants showed up within 12 months. After almost 20 years, I am grateful for the health I have and access to first-class medical care. Thank you again for taking the time to reply.

Best wishes as you address your issues. As WIlliam (mentor) noted, it becomes hard to distinguish what is treatment related and what is age related. As you stated to anyone who read your note, be grateful for the years we've been given and continue to address what comes our way.
