Well, I had an MRI done last Thursday. Not without a more than 2 hour delay, some drama over needing a letter confirming that some ear surgery I had years before, and the “parts” used for that, was MRI compatible; so, after many phone calls (all made by me WITH A MIGRAINE!), a lot of frustration and a long delay – the MRI was finally done.
The results…… “within normal limits”. Yay – it’s official, my brain is normal! LOL Well, so says the radiologist. I will be having a neurologist read those to confirm that, so don’t get your hopes up too high that I am officially and truly “normal”; but that’s the findings at this moment.
I am going back to my primary care physician (PCP) this Wednesday to discuss possible other testing needed, other possible causes/conditions/diseases, etc… that could be going on. I do intend to see a neurologist, as most of my symptoms do point to a neurological issue – and since I do have migraines anyway – and I haven’t seen a neurologist for migraines in many years, it wouldn’t hurt to reconnect with one, for that reason, if no other.
So no real answers yet, but at least I don’t have a brain tumor. Which, quite frankly, is very good and relieving news!! I’m holding out great hope that this is really a bunch of very simple, little things that we’ve just overlooked that can be easily resolved and fully overcome and healed; and not one bigger issue/illness/condition that I will have to deal with or manage for the rest of my life. We’re missing something and we just need to find what it is!! So please pray and stand in agreement with me that this isn’t a big issue, but one or two small issues we’ve overlooked that can be cured and gone!
Today, at this moment, I’m feeling pretty good. The fatigue is there, as it always is, and that’s about it this morning. This makes it a GOOD DAY! YAY!! Some days I have a lot of symptoms and many things going on and it’s overwhelming. So praise God for a good day! I think I’ll get some sewing done!! Yippeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to read your update Traci
I’m so happy that it isn’t a brain tumour. What a relief that must have been for you and the family. Praying that answers to your feeling this way will soon come!
Love Yvonne
