MRI report -

   [Heads Up - as with the postings from July 30th, 2010 and August 8th, 2010,  this particular posting is going to contain an update on my medical condition(s). So-o, any of you whom are not interested in that info., will probably want to skip reading this particular posting. Just thought I'd let you know up front.  ;-) ]

    The neurologist office called yesterday afternoon. I answered the phone,
"this is Cheryl"
"Hi Cheryl, this is _____ from Dr.____'s office, calling to let you know your MRI test report is back and you are normal :-)."
"you mean that I both have a brain AND it is normal?" chuckle
Chuckle, chuckle, "Yes! :-)"
snicker, "Can I get a copy of that in writing?"
Full laughter. "Yes, it is in writing that your brain is completely normal. In-fact we are even sending a written copy of the report stating just that to Dr. Wittigen. snicker, snicker."
"Thank-you so-o much for calling! :-D"

     For the record - I heard some of your muttered comments about doubting the test results .... gee-sh! ;-p

    In the early morning of one day this coming week, I first report into the lab to get blood work drawn, then report over to have my mammogram done (:- [ Necessary evil of women hood! 8-[ )
    Later that same day, I am scheduled for my pre-colonoscopy(?sp) appointment with that specialist.
    I am definetly going to deserve chocolate by that evening!!!!

    During the night last night, I got so extremely dizzy that I couldn't hardly believe it. This morning I arose with a "8" migraine, which quickly rose to a "9". :-/ .  I took a couple of Tylenol (can't take most aspirin products due to my stomach) and went back to bed. By around noon it was down to about a "5". It is now down to about a "3 1/2".  This is the second time I've experienced this with the migraines since going on those night time med's, and the first time of the extreme dizziness. While I am very tempted to go back off of them, I'm not going to. They must be doing something. And I actually think it might be something good, because it is rare indeed for my migraines to drop that far that quickly!!!!

    Just keeping you up-dated like you asked me to ;-)

  1. Glad you are "normal"... but migraines are the WORST... I suffer from them and thnakfully I get the warning signs... Numb lips and tongue and loss of feeling in my hands... If I take my meds when I get those warning no headache will follow, if I don't, no matter what I take I will have a TWO day "9" migraine.... it's exhausting...
