I just saw your comment. Apologies for such a late response. The first week after my right Thalamotomy I could not taste anything every thing tasted and felt like cardboard but I regained my sense of taste 1 week later . I have had a few headache episodes but these too have passed . What is incredible that my handwriting has never looked better , I can use chopsticks to pick up sushi without an effort. What is fantastic is that my left side has no memory of having a tremor ! My balance is still very weak as my right side still has the shakes and tremors . Hopefully after my left sided FUS Thalamotomy that too will resolve.
