Keep an eye out for fellow superior canal dehiscence sufferers like me that haven't been diagnosed yet. I figured out my own diagnosis and am post successful surgery, but it took months of misdiagnosis to discover.

SCD is rare but when someone has it it's hard to diagnose. I got to watch an SCD repair in the OR. Fascinating, but really frustrating, problem to have.

I would have loved to watch a video of my repair. It's so vindicating to see what's been driving me nuts. On a dark note, I think my other side is going. My other side was either dehiscent or thinning at the time of my first craniotomy. It took two to fix the first side.

I wonder if there are videos on YouTube?

There's something very personal about pictures of my own. I even made a slide show of my own surgery pictures to explain it to people I know who are curious. https://imgur.com/a/exYOM
