New to the forum, but have not seen anyone with this issue. I discovered that I had a Type 1 malformation when I was going over my medical records prior to retiring from the Navy. I had Decompression surgery three years ago and most of the symptoms went away but the headaches, difficulty swallowing and blurry peripheral vision are there every now and then. I am a father of 4 (14, 7 and 9 months) and my wife who has been with me through this whole ordeal. Last night, she mentioned that they all are having a hard time with me, for the last three months, due to my mood changes - irritability, getting angry for no real reason, just having an overall bad attitude. I'm having an MRI today - since headaches and dizziness are coming back strong, and will be seeing a neurosurgeon again. Has anyone had similar issues, being moody all the time with ones you care about? The thing is is that I don't seem like I'm being rude, or angry or irritable. Thank you
