'T' whilst debilitating and some, is generally considered to be quite successful via an operation...it is not so much what you have or have had, it is the debilitating effects post op that you have been left with that you should focus on.

'T,' and I use the letter t because I simply cannot spell the condition, can leave a person with many problems; in many cases however it can be the salvation one prayed for. Use what problems it has left you with, not what you had. This is vitally important during your medical assessment.

Good luck with the assessment.

with balanced being affected did they go in behind the ear and do a janeeta ? or something like it ? that works 90% of the time they could repeate it and then you might have both lots of problems sorted


also did they just take it as read the op caused the balance problem ? or have they checked to see if its something different ? and not connected with op ?
