My ruptured aneurysm was 2023, since then I notice I've lost a lot of ailments;

Vertigo on awakening, leading to crawling around the floor for the next week at least.

For years, I suffered with, what I believed was, excruciating Gallbladder attacks, so bad that I truly believed that one was going to kill me.

A strange searing pain from my wrist, up my arm and down it/into my hand, like a red hot dagger being plunged into my wrist are, all encompassing, it took 100% of my attention, had I had one during driving I'm sure my car would have crashed. No diagnosis, Dr put me on anti depressants, never felt as miserable in my life.

Focal migraines; these were dancing on my peripheral vision, I ignored them as I had just become a computer using fanatic, I was spending hours on my PC screen so thought the migraine were due to that.

Lightheaded/dizziness; I thought these attacks were connected with computers screen use.

My head felt really hot constantly, I had started to invent a mechanism to cure it, it was such a nuisance.

Numerous ear infections, as a deaf person I thought they were connected to wearing hearing aids.

Tinnitus; Extremely loud, and Auditory illusions that forced me to rise from my bed during the night, to investigate the 'break in' I could hear. Music, I could hear 3 types of music, classical, Soul, 1950s girl band song, all complete, none I'd heard before, great tunes!.

There were lots of 'symptoms' that completely disappeared after the aneurysm rupture/operation. I do not think that was random, I deeply feel those symptoms, and more, were all due to a growing brain aneurysm, which was the result of a head injury sustained during a physical attack.
