MRI/MRA Results

Well, the mri/mra is tomorrow but today at my doctor's appointment I found out that my doctor will have the results Monday and he said just to call him then (and for the results of all the blood work.. i had 12 more viles taken from me today!)....

Anyways I had no idea I'd know so SOON the results... So... Monday is either going to be a very, very good day.... or a very, very terrible day.

 

Well that is good that you will find out soon.. I will keep my fingers crossed for you...

 

It will be a good day! Did he say aything about the ativan?

 

Thanks...

Haha...man i hope it will be a good day....

If not though... if it's a bad day... I get a two week long cruise to anywhere I want out of it.. haha.

About the ativan, I have four (one's) left from yesterday and he sent my pharmacy a script for 10 more one's and asked if that would get me thru til monday when i get my results... ummm... of course it will... i break them in half and monday is soon... and he said to "call if i need him in the meantime if i need anything" whatever that means.. i should call tomorrow and say i need valium. haha. oh and he wouldnt switch me to valium cause he said it's more addictive cause it's slow-release... whatever... ill be ordering them online.. haha. doctors are weird.
but yeah... im hoping he'll give me more when those 10 run out but im not sure so im gonna try not to take many of them.

oh... as for my lumps he told me what he thinks it is... i forget what its called though... gave me an anti-inflammatory script... increased my zoloft dose

he thinks a lot of my probs. are stress over the mri and stuff or my thyroid... got more blood taken (12 viles) yikes...
i was so dizzy...

anyways all results from blood work and mri/mra should be monday....

Sigh.

 

I am just glad that you will find out Monday instead of two or so weeks...

 

Yeah.. me too...
and super nervous now!

But GLAD...

I didnt even know this doctor would GET the results but he was like "ill have them monday... call me"

 

What are they looking for in the MRI?

I had one like 6 months ago they found a dark spot in my brain, have to get another done next month.

 

What were they looking for with yours? How long did it take? Mine is tomorrow morning and I'm kinda nervous so that's why I ask....
That's all they said... a dark spot? Well, good luck!

Well, my right pupil has been dilated for over a month.... and then I started getting head zaps and really bad headaches and pressure on the side or back of my head... and i get like numb hands and feet sometimes...

So they are basically looking to see if it's a neurological problem of any sort... aneurysym, brain tumor... or really it could be other things too....

 

Yay, it sounds like it went really well and like you have somewhat of a load lifted off of you.

 

Somewhat

 

I started crying in front of him :stunned:

When I told him I have to take the ativan a lot cause I'm so stressed cause I think I'm dieing or something is really wrong... I started to cry. Hah.


(he said "well you know your body more then me of course but you'll have answers soon.. you have the best type of doctor to go to for headaches by going to the neurologist.. you're getting the best test done of the brain their is and all the blood work. i STRONGLY suspect you'll be fine..esp. with your age and when you see your fine we'll have to talk about dealing with stress but if things aren't 'fine' then at least you'll have answers and we'll deal with it and it will likely be early enough that things will turn out FINE anyways"

^hmmm doctor... i hope so

 

They never really told me what they were looking for, but i was sent for one because i was diagnosed with epilepsy, so i think its standard procedure.

It took like 25 minutes maybe. Id suggest going there tired, so you can take a nap while your in there, it sucks.

 

Is it really loud? Why does it suck?

I don't like small spaces and I have anxiety as it is...

They also told me mine is gonna take an hour and a half to an hour and 45 mins.

I have 3.5 mills of valium to take though (already took 1.5 of it) and I'm also gonna take about 1.5 mills of ativan...so I SHOUUUULD be mellow. HAHA. I hope I do fall asleep. I know you gotta be STILL and your head will be strapped down. :eck:

Yeah... a new epilepsy diagnosis can be from a tumor...

I had one seizure in the hospital a month ago too...

 

It is kind of loud but it sucks because your not allowed to move the slightest bit.

Its actually kind of cool because it sounds like the intro to Welcome to the Machine, it tripped me out while i was in there.

 

This is a golden opportunity to get prescribed oxycodone.

 

Well, I highly doubt they will give me that until (IF!!!) I am diagnosed with a serious condition....
It's hard enough getting them to keep giving me benzos as it is.. haha...

 

Make sure to tell them if you have any metal implants, even unusual ones such as in the head and neck region. There have been instances where that has been overlooked.

.

 

You're going be fine. That's my stance. It's something really miniscule. That's what I'll keep telling myself and the universe, for you.

You can't just order valium off the internet because you feel like it, can you?

 

Well either way you win ... if it is serious you get great drugs !

 

It's really going to be a great day, and great all next week.

You're finally going to get the best treatment you could possibly get, for whatever unbalanced condition you have or whatever affliction seems to be tricking you with your meds already.

I'm happy to see you get to the bottom of it all. It's good to be thorough.
