I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but glad you have a solid path forward and are glad you've managed to feel better with the meds.

Do you know what grade the tumor is? I too am sorry this is happening.

I do not know what grade the tumor is. Dr. said it is very small. Rx I was give was carbamazepine (Tegretol) . and so you don't have to look it up:

Meningioma is the most common type of primary brain tumor, accounting for approximately 30 percent of all brain tumors. These tumors originate in the meninges, which are the outer three layers of tissue between the skull and the brain that cover and protect the brain just under the skull.

My meningioma was discovered by accident while doing a visual field exam for my annual appointment.

While noncancerous, they still can be dangerous as they can keep growing.

It was a five year gap between my visual field exams. It was always optional so I chose not to do it. But, when I turned 59, I decided to “ Say yes, to the test” when making decisions going forward.

It was clear that mine was growing and at the time I lost 1/4 of my peripheral vision in my right eye.

At this point, no pain. I didn't realize that I lost vision but looking back at certain instances I realized it wasn't that I wasn't paying attention making that left turn, it was that I wasn't seeing fully.

That said, we interviewed 3 surgeons. In my case it was obvious. For you it might not be. Some people get to wait and see and continue to be monitored with MRI’s.

We can only hope that after getting at 3 opinions you get honest answers.

Glad to hear have you found a solution for the Vertigo and thanks for sharing.

In the past i had a bout of vertigo actuactually went to the ER i was prescribed a medication which is actually the generic equivalent of Bonine i havent had vertigo in years but keep some bonine in the house — available OTC

I'm glad the Tegretol is working for you! My wife has been taking varying doses of Tegretol for years to treat her Trigeminal Neuralgia.

I know a fair amount in a superficial way about meningiomas. I do know the majority are grade 1, very slow growing if at all and are often just monitored. I hope yours is like that. Still it cant hurt to get an opinion from a surgeon as to if it is removable if need be. Good luck with your process and hopefully you will have conquered the vertigo. I have vertigo from time to time but it is more or less Meniere's.
