@steveginstead. What is SS?

@bellyflop33 I agree with @colleenyoung. The symptoms you are experiencing is why you saw the neurologist and these are affecting your life, especially your work life. Do you have another appointment scheduled with the neurologist to go over the results and to talk again about how to relieve these symptoms?

Another opinion is a good idea. That's what I would do if I wasn't getting the answers I wanted. Since the symptoms are short-term memory, visual, and headaches I'd like to suggest that you get your second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in cognition sometimes referred to as behavioral neurology.

SS is superficial siderosis. Google that. Siderosis will be underlined in red as if you misspelled it. Just keep going. SS is so uncommon. Again, Mayo Clinic Minnesota is the best in Dr. Kumar and Dr. Marsh. Please don’t consult anyone that doesn’t know about SS, they will miss lead you. If you do have SS, and I hope and pray that you don’t, and you don’t get it fixed you will be in deep trouble. I was told that if I don’t get my leak fixed that “soon I would be completely deaf and not able to get out of the bed to go to the bathroom.” Serious.
