I have not been tested, actually never heard anything about it. However after researching it I am definitely going to be tested. It fits so much of what I'm experiencing. I've always thought that a lot of my symptoms were related to vascular issues, R enlarged jugular vein, R enlarged collateral vessels in my neck. R sided partial paralysis when swallowing as well as difficulty with intubation. All since last Covid.
I have cervical stenosis with cord compression but neurosurgeon (saw just past Monday) said surgery is my only option but..... I failed all neurological tests and that has to be addressed and treated before he would consider any surgery.
So now it's all a wait and see game.
I'm very surprised, happily, that your grandson hasn't had any other issues with cholesteatomas. I had numerous prior to the radical mastoidectomy.
Prayers for you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your story and I will keep you posted ❤️
