Hi Ray,
Reading your post brings back so many memories for me...the fog, the sleeping upright, the never-ending pressure. Gosh I hope you can get the help you obviously really need. I'll never forget after my fenestration surgery, how when I looked up and saw the TV in my hospital room, and how clear it looked after having all the pressure removed from my head, how exicted I was to finally feel like I was back in the land of the living....the fog had lifted! I hope that soon you can experience it. Keep us informed. And just keep sleeping upright if it helps....getting some sleep in an upright position is better than no sleep, or waking up gasping for air all night long. My upright position also helped my numbness. Lying flat caused more pressure on my brainstem and cerebellum and caused me to get numb head-to-toe. I felt paralyzied. So just incase that is on it's way next for you...I'd recommend staying at a good angle at night.
Take care and good luck. Please, keep us updated.
