Hello @feeling and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wonder if we may be able to start with me asking you for a bit more information on your particular experience? Did you have surgery for a secretory meningioma and are you experiencing fatigue and lack of feeling in your head? If so, how long ago was your surgery?

@feeling it is so wonderful to hear they were able to get all of your meningioma. That said, have you explained your on-going symptoms with your doctor at a follow up or have you been dealing with these symptoms on your own?
