Hi Alex6,
I am sorry to hear you were diagnosed with Grade 2 meningioma 2 years ago and I hope that the recovery from the surgery was not too difficult at the time. I think given that you have identified some of the symptoms coming back again, it's important - if you haven't done so already - that you get in touch with your doctor or medical team so that they can look into this and tell you more about what may be causing these symptoms and if it might be linked to the meningioma or if it's unrelated. The medical experts will be in the best position to guide you further on this and I hope that you will get some answers soon.
We also have a nurse helpline you can ring on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk things through with them - you can call them Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I thought I would also mention HelenD2012 as this member posted this meningioma thread only a couple of weeks ago and was looking to talk to others who had also had a meningioma diagnosis so don't hesitate to drop them a line if you wish to share your own experience.
I hope that you can get these symptoms looked into soon and that they resolve quickly.
Best wishes,
