masonsmom,
If I am reading this right you have not had the surgery. In that case i don't know what is going on. Alot of us hear the rushing, whooshing, pluseing sound in the ear/head after surgery, from the new vessels we are not accustom to hearing. After surgery I felt hot all the time like if I had a fever but that was caused by my body healing. It takes a lot of energy to heal after any surgery and since this surgery is invasive it requires a large amount of healing heat.
I hope you find your answers,
Becky

I've had a hot face, heck my whole body heats up like a furnace. It's amazing I don't spontaneously combust! For me though, at 55,  I'm pretty sure I can attribute it to menopause. Since I was a kid, I've gotten a very, very red and hot face when exercising. And I have tiny broken capillaries on my face. I don't think this is related to Moyamoya, as most people don't seem to have this.

The whoosing, rushing sound some of us hear in our ears, is called bruit. It's caused by a disturbance in the blood flowing over a rough spot in the arteries, most likely where it is closing off.

It's frustrating when your doctor shrugs his shoulders and says he doesn't know if a symptom is related to Moyamoya or not. But even the experts don't know all that is associated with this disease. Watching the video tapes of the Moyamoya Symposium really brings that point home. That's why it's so very important that we support their research in any way we can.

Now that I'm thinking about it, Luca does also get a very red, flushed face sometimes. I've always attributed it to teething, but I guess it could be moyamoya related. The only time we'll know for sure is when all her teeth are out.
