Hi my name is Christy and I just recently had the surgery for moyamoya.  My husband has been on the sight more than me ....... this is all new to me.  But recently I have noticed that my senses seem more hightened / sharper....things feel and smell better and stronger.  Cold in a walk in freezer smells crisper and feels colder   wet, hot cement smells stronger and brings back memories of summer days.  I am not sure I am explaing this good but does any one else experience this???  Please let me know  thanx
Christy   :D :)

Hi Christy...good that you joined us...welcome on board !!!  My Cara is only 7..so wouldn't be much of help or much aware of what you described...but very much where you had surgery...you must have increased blood flow to a certain spot of your brain that deals with senses...but while I don't have MM I have B12 defiency (pernicious anemia)...lack of B12 which would be lack of oxygen in red blood cells that go to the brain...so for almost a year of being misdiagnosed ...with MS like symptoms..my senses decreased so much to a point where I wasn't feeling much, smelling much nor thinking straight....as soon as they figured out what my problem was....8 straight days of B12 shots....many things came back and I like you...was going...oh it smells so good, the wind outside feels wonderful, everything so much clearer...a wonderful feeling......so you are indeed getting more oxygen to your brain if your senses are crispier and sharper.... ;;D...awesome feeling isn't it !!!

Look forward to more posts from you,  hugs, CarasMOM
