Thanks for the update and best wishes for the future - however things turn out. I'm sure with your positive attitude you'll make whatever happens work out.

I’ll certainly try. If I have to have surgery, I may ask some dive specialists that I know if it’ll be okay to return to diving after I’m healed

Crazy how it went from seeming like a diving problem and now it’s all of this.

It is not unusual that unrelated symptoms resulted in DCS treatment. Here's my sea story on the problem.

Figured I’d post a new thread on this because the old one is really full.

For interested readers who did not follow the old thread:

if you're sick after a dive, take it seriously

hey, i don't know if it belongs here but figured i'd tell this story to warn other divers not to just brush off weird symptoms after a dive. i'll get a ton of crap for it, but i already have so it's nothing new. around the end of July, i did a 13 foot dive for 21 minutes. probably the most...

Well, hopefully if your problems weren't caused by diving, then diving won't be contraindicated when you get to feeling better.

I’m hoping so

Crazy how it went from seeming like a diving problem and now it’s all of this. Never would’ve guessed I had brain abnormalities.

Glad you're still moving forward and getting answers to this sht situation.

I think we all have a bit of a brain abnormality. I mean who willingly straps on 70+ lbs of gear so they can breathe underwater and look at ?
