Yes. It’s called ataxia. Your balance is controlled by the cerebellum part of your brain. It could be caused by a leak in your dura which allows blood to contaminate your spinal fluid, your brain stem and your cerebellum. Or a one time TBI. Unfortunately I had the leak in my dura. Mayo fixed the leak, but that doesn’t remove the iron deposits off of my CNS. So I have SS.

I am told that I also have a leak and they will keep an eye on it. I have an appointemnt with a neurologist on Jan 13 25. I am anxious to find out about this what causes dura leak? Since you went through with this, tell me what kind of questions I should ask. Also, I am not good with abreviations, what is TBI and CNS.
I have dizziness seems like every December or January is this a coinsidence. They also told me I might have inflamation of the nerves in the ear. Christals is ruled out since I do not feel the room spinning. My problem is getting up in the morning and having no balance. And sometimes when I turn position in bed I feel like I am falling in a black abyss, they are calling that BPP... something. This year when it happened I also had nosia and vomiting and blood pressure went up.
You mentioned Mayo fixed the leak can you eloberate on that. How was the surgery?
